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

The Green Bay Packers' season is over, and it happened in the most predictable and yet still most painful way possible. Tex, Tyler, and (eventually) Justis discuss the 31-27 loss to the Bears, what's ahead for Matt LaFleur and the coaching staff, and take a journey from calm acceptance into anger and frustration. Where does this game rank in the annals of painful playoff losses? Will LaFleur indeed be back in 2026? Why is Brandon McManus allowed to board the plane back to Green Bay instead of being forced to walk home? All of these questions and more will be answered (except for the last one).

On a new Reporting as Eligible, Matt, JR, and Paul discuss Stephen King mostly off mic before turning to the game, and what if anything we can learn. They then move on to the Bears, and what we can expect in the third and final meeting between the two. Plus, do the Packers cheap out on coaches? Do they realize Gary is cooked? And is Diggs going to save the secondary? And of course, listener questions!

Did you know that the Green Bay Packers didn't actually play in Week 18? Weird, huh? Good thing there's a playoff game coming up sometime next weekend! Tex Western and guest Tyler Brooke break down the impending playoff matchup with the Chicago Bears and definitely don't talk about a game between the "Green Bay Packers" and the Minnesota Vikings.

Nick, Alex, and Zach try to make sense of what is sure to be rag tag roster as the Packers play a meaningless season finale against the Minnesota Vikings. Are the Packers right to rest Jordan Love? Will he be rusty in the playoffs? What will these team even look like once the playoffs arive?

Paul and Rcon tackle the defensive performance, which involved very little tackling. The Packers will make the playoffs and they will likely be facing the Bears. Are they doomed? Will everyone copy the Ravens' plan? Or is Derrick Henry really a unicorn that can't be replicated, and we should still have hope? Will getting healthier help, or can anything else be done? And as always, listener questions!

Zach, Alex, and Nick get on an international Christmas Eve conference call to get a post Bears loss vibe check and to talk about the state of the NFC playoff picture.

On a holiday episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR discuss the debacle that was the Bears' game, and whether we should really worry much given how lucky the Packers were with the results on Sunday. Plus Malik Willis is awesome, Rashan Gary is not, and apparently you're sick of asking about Keisean but we're talking about him anyway. Plus, how to deal with uppity Bears fans, our playoffs prospects, and listener questions!

It's been a while since we've seen that kind of a collapse from the Green Bay Packers. We've seen it before, but the way that the Packers fell apart late in their 22-16 loss to the Chicago Bears on Saturday night feels awfully familiar. Tex breaks down tonight's game solo in a fairly brief episode of The Repack from the road, focusing heavily on the Packers' ongoing red zone issues, Romeo Doubs' muffed onside kick recovery attempt, and Keisean Nixon giving up both of the Bears' late touchdowns. Matt LaFleur didn't really do anything wrong in this one and Green Bay still had this one despite all of their injuries -- including losing Jordan Love to a concussion early -- or at least they had it until they didn't. Also, apologies for the weird background audio - please ignore the ambient music in the hotel gym.
