Aaron Rodgers only needed about 37 seconds to break the 49ers’ hearts, but it took a complete game before that to make the final field goal even a possibility. Let’s break down every bit of the Packers’ dramatic Sunday Night Football win.

After regrouping from a disappointing Week 1 loss, the Packers welcome a team of kneecap biters to Lambeau Field for Monday Night Football. What should we expect from Dan Campbell and the Lions?

The Packers came out in about the flattest fashion imaginable and were deservedly beaten by the Saints. What happened, why did it happen, and can it be fixed? Let’s try to answer that.

Enough offseason, let’s have a real season. The Packers are set to travel to New Orleans to take on Drew Brees and the Saints. Wait, no. The Packers are set to travel to Jacksonville to take on Jameis Winston and the Saints. None of that sounds right.

We’re going to learn something about the Packers’ offense. And our guest should know a little bit about that, because he literally wrote the book on it. Settle in for the most in-depth look at the Packers’ offense that you’re going to find anywhere.
Today I’m happy to welcome Bobby Peters to the program. Bobby is an absolute madman, and I mean that in the best possible way. Why do I say that? Well, Mr. Peters has written a book called The 2020 Green Bay Packers Complete Offensive Manual, and in that book he exhaustively details literally everything the Packers did on offense. I mean literally.
It’s a massive accomplishment, and we’re happy to have Bobby with us today.

Week 1 is upon us. That means it’s time to stop speculating wildly about who’s going to make the final roster and start speculating wildly about how the Packers will do each and every week. Let’s get to it!
Predictions and Expectations (2:19)
Now that we’re officially into Week 1, it’s time to offer some predictions on the 2021 season. How far will the Packers go? More importantly — how far should they go?

Today on Blue 58, we’re lucky to be joined by Mark Beech.
Mark Beech is the managing editor of The Player’s Tribune and has previously worked for Sports Illustrated and other sports-focused publications.
He released his book “The People’s Team” in 2019, and it’s as close to a comprehensive look at Packers history as we’ve got. He dives deep on the team’s origins, its growth and how players should be appreciated within their historical context.
We had the chance to talk to Mark when his book first came out and figured it was time to check in now that it’s been out for a while to see what he thinks about the team’s development since then. We also wanted to be sure to ask him about how the current state of the franchise compared to some previously unsettled times in the team’s history, as well as where some of the bigger names on the team right now rank compared to their historical counterparts.

The Packers have made the cuts necessary to trim their roster to 53. At least, for now. What do we make of the initial roster? And what’s all this about trading for a punter?
Cut day recap (00:34)
The Packers aren’t done shaping their roster, but we do have the initial 53-man squad to peruse.
Trading for a punter (14:47)
The Packers traded for punter Corey Bojorquez. Who is he and was it a good idea?
