Reporting as Eligible: The Hafley Test Nov 19, 2024

On a brand new episode of Reporting as Eligible, we have EVERYONE, and I mean everyone. Which is to say we have JR, Matt, Paul and Tyler! For the first time this year.

We talk about the Bears, the game that’s going on between the Texans and Cowboys, Jaire Alexander, Christian Watson, Love’s interception, red zone woes, credit to the Bears, debits from the Bears, the lack of a pass rush, and blocking field goals. And how far away from Everything Soldier Field is. And of course, listener question

The Repack, Week 11: Packers beat Bears by a finger in 20-19 win Nov 18, 2024

The Green Bay Packers found a new way to beat the Chicago Bears on Sunday, as Karl Brooks blocked a last-second field goal attempt to preserve a 20-19 win for the green and gold. Tex Western and guest Justis Mosqueda break down the game, which featured a shockingly low number of offensive snaps for the Packers, continued red zone issues, and a terrible performance from linebacker Quay Walker. But Green Bay also got great games from Josh Jacobs and Christian Watson! Did we learn anything new about this team? Not really. But let's break it down anyway as we bathe in some Bears fans' tears.

The Repack, Week 9: Sloppy Packers lose to Lions 24-14 Nov 04, 2024

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Detroit Lions 24-14 on Sunday afternoon in a sloppy game - in more ways than one. Green Bay's self-inflicted wounds brought out a metaphor that Tex Western used earlier this season, as the combination of penalties, drops, and generally ugliness cost the team a chance to knock off the division leaders. Were the Lions truly beatable in this game? Special guest Justis Mosqueda doesn't really think so, but we'll never know because of all of the Packers' mistakes. At least now the team has a chance to avoid the "post-Lions curse," with a bye week coming up.

Reporting as Eligible - Tank After Tank Oct 29, 2024

On a brand new Reporting as Eligible, Matt, JR, and Paul make fun of the Bears before heaping praise on Malik Willis yet again, while also worrying about Jordan Love, who has just been OK so far this year.

The defense also missed a bunch of tackles and suffered a sobering loss of Evan Williams. Jaire Alexander also might miss time going forward, and Eric Stokes is hurt. Who is going to cover Detroit receivers exactly? Plus Rashan Gary dancing, the return of the X-Man, Tucker Kraft as the new George Kittle, and a punter who is better than our punter. Plus, of course, listener questions!

The Repack, Week 8: Packers win another nailbiter over Jaguars Oct 28, 2024

The Packers defeated the Jaguars 30-27 on Sunday, in a game that saw Malik Willis take over for Jordan Love and lead the team on a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. Tex Western breaks it all down in a solo show tonight, looking at Willis' one truly great throw, the running game stepping up when Love left the game, and how another key injury on defense (to safety Evan Williams) significantly hurt the pass defense. Meanwhile, Sunday provided plenty of schadenfreude for Packers fans, particularly in the Chicago Bears' gut-wrenching loss to the Washington Commanders, so listen in to enjoy some fun at the expense of our rivals to the south.

The Repack, Week 7: Packers beat Texans 24-22 on last-second FG Oct 21, 2024

HEADS UP: We're sorry about the audio issues in today's pod, and we'll make sure that's fixed moving forward.

In Week 7, the Green Bay Packers overcame three first half turnovers and defeated the Houston Texans 24-22, thanks in large part to unheralded players like Daniel Whelan and Eric Wilson. Those two guys deserve game balls for their performances, while Jordan Love managed to throw three touchdowns and lead the team down the field for a game-winning field goal from new arrival Brandon McManus with no time left. Join Tex Western and Justis Mosqueda to break it all down.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Reporting as Eligible - Ben Sim-ping Oct 16, 2024

On a new Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR discuss the importance of Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs to the offense, whether the Doubs touchdown was brilliant or foolhardy, Jayden Reed versus Keisean Nixon, Javon Bullard versus Keisean Nixon, and the Kraft Tush Push

They also heaped praise on the rookie defenders! The speed of Edgerrin Cooper. The versatility of Javon Bullard. And of course the burgeoning star that is Evan Williams. Will Wisconsin start making Bourbon Old Fashioned instead? Only time will tell.

Plus a discussion of reporting as eligible, a heartbreaking injury for the Lions, a new kicker of questionable moral worth, and of course, listener questions!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Repack, Week 6: Packers dominate Cardinals in 34-13 win Oct 14, 2024

Tex Western is flying solo tonight to break down the Green Bay Packers' 34-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, which featured another 4-touchdown performance from Jordan Love. It was a team effort on offense, but Romeo Doubs had two TDs in his return from suspension and do-it-all tight end Tucker Kraft continues to find new things to do in the offense. Stonks also are up on Edgerrin Cooper and Evan Williams! Is this Packers defense actually...good...at containing running quarterbacks? And sure, it was a wet, windy day, but Brayden Narveson still needs to start making his kicks consistently!

Plus, Tex's celebratory whiskey of the night honors Love and he tells a story about one of his favorite but long-lost pieces of Packers memorabilia.

Go Pack Go!

Reporting as Eligible - Gary Loses His Edge Oct 09, 2024

On a brand new episode of Reporting as Eligible, Matt, JR, and Paul discuss whether too many big plays may be a bad thing. They also lavish praise on Tucker Kraft, Jayden Reed, and of course, Xavier McKinney, and even a little love for the Narv Dog,but with Arizona coming up, they still have some concerns about the lack of edge pressure, the receiver situation with Doubs and Wicks, and their lack of success on third down.

But a few of the rookies look good, our DC is succeeding in spite of his talent instead of the usual failing in spite of his talent! And Aaron Rodgers got a guy whacked! And a big man ran funny! Plus listener questions!

The Repack, Week 5: Packers win ugly, beat Rams 24-19 Oct 07, 2024

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Los Angeles Rams 24-19 on Sunday of week 5, so Tex Western and special guest Justis Mosqueda are here to break down a game that feels like it might be the team's least impressive performance of the season. They break down the Romeo Doubs suspension, Jordan Love's inexplicable pick-six, Dontayvion Wicks' continued struggles with drops, and more. But there's also a lot of good! Most of it comes from a fella named Tucker Kraft. Plus Brayden Narveson did his job! And ultimately a win on a long road trip is a good thing no matter how you get it.

The self-inflicted wounds came about early and often in this one, forcing the Packers to attempt a furious fourth-quarter comeback that fell just short. The guys break down Jordan Love's first game back from his knee injury, Jayden Reed's budding stardom, Dontayvion Wicks' Jekyll-and-Hyde performance, and Brayden Narveson's no-good, very bad day. And don't forget some inexplicable decisions by the replay officials!

The Repack: Packers Learn Nothing from 27-2 Stinker in Denver Aug 19, 2024

Tex is flying solo on The Repack tonight, breaking down the Packers' embarrassing 27-2 loss to the Denver Broncos - and yes, you read that score correctly. In a game that was supposed to help us find out who would take hold of the kicker and backup QB jobs, one group never got a chance to compete while the other stunk up the joint with some poor play, which was not entirely -- but definitely partially -- their fault. Let's take a look back at one of the Packers' most excruciating preseason games in recent memory, and hopefully you didn't stay up to watch the whole thing like Tex did.
