Frozen Tundra Frequencies - Talking Green Bay Packers 24/7/1265

On this New Years Eve episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR discuss the material difference between the top three NFC teams and the Packers, whether it matters, and how much hope to have now that their difficult path through the playoffs is all but certain. Plus, what DVOA and EPA fail to see, Jordan's continued struggles, the benefits of having a receiver you can count on, and of course, listener questions!

Feeling like you're having déja vu? You're not alone. The Green Bay Packers put up an eerily similar performance against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday to the one they gave in the first meeting of these two teams in week 4. Tex Western breaks down the game with the triumphant return of the dick-punching analogy, while looking at a couple of good in-game decisions by Matt LaFleur as well as the team's self-inflicted mistakes and a look ahead to the playoff picture with one week left to play in the season. Can the Packers avoid the #7 seed and a date in Philly? We'll find out next week!

On a very special episode of Reporting as Eligible, recorded BEFORE THE SAINTS GAME (sorry for yelling), Paul and JR look ahead to their preferred playoff matchups, the actual likely matchups, indoors versus outdoors, the vulnerable Lions, and of course, fair catch kicks!

Zach, Alex, and Nick recap SNF, where the Packers sank the Seahawks, before turning their eyes toward the dangerous waters of playoff optimism.

The Green Bay Packers managed to shake off their Pacific Northwest demons on Sunday Night Football, beating the Seattle Seahawks 30-13 to push onto the verge of clinching a playoff spot. Evan "Tex" Western and special guest Justis Mosqueda break down the game, which naturally got a little weird and scary at a few points in the fourth quarter despite the Packers never leading by less than 10 points. Is Matt LaFleur's conservative approach going to get this team in trouble eventually? Is Edgerrin Cooper really that important to the defense? Is the pass rush for real? They'll answer those questions and much more in this week's Repack.

On this week’s episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, JR, ad Tyler discuss the Packer victory over Seattle, the dominance of the offensive line and Josh Jacobs, the return of Romeo, the sustainability of the pass rush, and of course, the ascendant Edgerrin Cooper. The guys also take on Matt’s fourth down folly’s, issues with challenges, and end of half nonsense, but it’s mostly positive! The defense is eighth in DVOA after all, and the offense never really allowed things to get close. Christian Watson is tiptoeing the sidelines! Tucker Kraft is catching YOLO balls! And of course, we’re answering your questions.

Zach, Nick, and Alex put the Lions game to bed, discuss what presents they'd like to get for various Packers players and coaches, and look ahead to Packers at Seahawks by way of Degenerate Corner.

On a brand new Reporting as Eligible, Paul and Matt review the game against the Lions and try to figure out if the Packers are real contenders, or not quite there yet. They touch on the extremely poor offensive line play, the constant in-breakers against the Packer defense, the fourth down disparity between the two teams, and yes, of course, the officiating. With the Packers locked into a wild card, they also discuss what the rest of the season will look like, the disappearance of Jayden Reed, a bit about the Seahawks, and of course, listener questions!

"Stones in his pants, rocks in his head." Put that quote on Dam Campbell's tombstone.Campbell and his Detroit Lions went 4-for-5 on fourth downs on Thursday night, with two shockingly aggressive attempts in the fourth quarter. But the last one paid off as the Lions beat the Packers 34-31. Evan "Tex" Western breaks down the game, looking at how Detroit converted 11 of their 15 late-down chances and the Packers' defense squandered an efficient performance by Jordan Love and the offense, which put up 31 points on just 45 plays.
