It is the post-game show. For the Packers and the Lions as the Green Bay Packers. Have beaten Detroit. 27 to 13. A very good start for the season.
Um I feel And I'm going to say, I feel an expected start. I really felt confident in the Packers. beating Detroit. Um I didn't think it would be as lopsided as it was. I thought, okay.
You know, I think I took Jared Goss under on a radio program I was on. And I don't think that he would torch the Packers for 300, but I thought Amon Ra would get his, and Jameer would get his, and some of these guys, Laporta. Would get his. Really, Laporta got his, but other than that, Packers did a really good job. On the Lions stars.
Jameer Gibbs caught the ball 10 times, only had 31 yards receiving. He rushed at nine for 19 yards. Montgomery, 11 for 25, only 46 yards rushing from Detroit.
So, yeah, the Packers did a really good job on that aspect of the game. I think there was an anecdote that the broadcasters, Nance and Rommel, had said, where Dan Campbell and the Lions were so happy to get Kenny Clark out of the division.
So maybe they could run a little better, Lions then averaging 2.1 yards. A carry.
So Packers, I mean, just overall, let me kind of backtrack a little bit. Overall, this was an outstanding victory. And I, again, I thought Packers are going to win this game, but also I think the Lions are starting 0-3, and I feel very good about that. A little more here tonight because I think Ben Johnson's going to get his. against uh Dan Campbell.
I don't think Dan Campbell's that good. I don't, I'm just, I look, I look at myself in the Camera view with these stupid glasses, and I'm saying that. But I don't think he's that good, or I think he's still going to be chasing things. From years ago, I was kind of surprised that when they were pinned at their one. They ran it right away on second, and then again.
On third, I mean, I don't know if I was expecting them to throw a play action Hail Mary, but I just kind of thought that they had punted. Pun Not intended, then intended on the drive completely. But 27-13. I think when they started this game, so the Packers get the ball, they start the game off with a touchdown. And everyone's feeling very good.
Then they get a field goal. They're up 10-0 at the end of one. Lions scratch from field goals the next couple of. Quarters, but Packers get that second touchdown from Jordan Love. One to Kraft a start, and then one to Jaden Reid a little bit later.
They do not need to score again until Josh Jacobs seals it. Later in the game, and Detroit just could not really do anything. It did feel like, despite how good this Lions team has been the last couple of years, it felt like watching a game. From many years ago, when Detroit just you knew you were going to have your way with them. Maybe they would score early and then you'd score a bunch.
Maybe you'd score a bunch and they'd score late. But you're going to win that game. And at times it looked freshmen. Uh varsity or J V Varsity. And I know Detroit's explosive and I know they're great, but they didn't do any of that today.
And it did look like the Packers were the much better team. It looked like it was a Packer team from all those years ago against the Detroit team from all those years ago. And what was the most impactful thing. I think to me about the game and about watching it, specifically the Micah Parsons aspect. of everything Um Micah Parsons.
On that team. If you just look at it, the transaction. Binary You know, just go binary. Like it was. This first round pick and this second round pick.
And Kenny Clark for one player. Then you're going to be judging that one player and everything that that one player is going to do. What you can't factor in. is What everybody else does because of the mere existence of that one player.
So on the field. I think You saw other guys be able to step up. I think you're going to continue to see that, where Parsons is going to take a lot of attention, which maybe then he's on the best guard, like a Sewell or best tackle, and then Rashawn Gary can be elsewhere.
So on the field, it's going to make a massive difference, but off the field, is something that I don't think that we've measured Accurately. enough either. Uh off the field. You could see and tell right away that Lambo was rocking. You know, that crowd felt college-y, at least, coming off the TV.
I know, maybe there was too much hota-loo-lablo. Can't just say blue, it's the lion.
So Honolulu blue. But I don't know, whatever. I'm not getting bent out of shape about that. The one thing I'm never going to do is. Sit in a press box and take a picture of the crowd and judge ye crowd.
Except when I used to do that for the brewers and take pictures of crowds on Tuesdays in September, and everyone would say, It's school bar, you don't understand. Which I now I think I understand. Ah, a little bit better. in that aspect. But while I forgot the original thing, I was just saying mere moments ago.
Oh, Parsons, off the field, the crowd was pumped, they were pumped. They reacted the first time he got on the field, and there was the loud ovation. That was great. And then that sack later in the game was an absolute moment. Crowd goes crazy.
Absolute moment. No doubt about it. One that you'll say, I remember that was there. You'll maybe call it the Parsons sack game. Even though It was Way at the end.
But he did kind of pop out of nowhere and chase down Jared Goff. And that's why, you know, Stallice Tom, I don't know if you're messing around or not. Parsons trade. Ooh, why is the graphic different and new? That's sweet.
The Parsons trade will be one of those where both teams win. Nothing wrong. With that. I don't know, man. I I d I don't know.
And even if both teams win, what if one team wins incredibly more? Then then they have won the trade. And I don't know that the Cowboys win. The Cowboys with Micah Parsons. It's hard to say if he was actually there, everything would have gone different.
But with Micah Parsons, there were enough plays where you could watch something happen on the field and say, Oh, if Micah Parsons was there things might be a little different for Dallas. Because They did not do a good enough job stopping the run, Dallas. Um But they did contain Barkley good enough. It's just that they couldn't contain Hertz.
So Hertz would then have time and he would. He would navigate a lane, and he would not have that time if Parsons was there, and he would not have those lanes if Parsons was there. He wouldn't. He would get uh he would get tracked down.
So Parsons made a huge difference not being on the Cowboys, and he definitely made a huge difference. Difference here. Whether it's statistically I mean, I don't know how many snaps he ended up playing. What was it? 20?
Or so Um he did have the sack. And he had uh a tackle, which was the sack. And another QB hit, which maybe they count as far as sacks. Uh I don't know, uh QB Hickambius says, uh vice versa. But just the mere existence of him, and that defense was playing quicker, and they were playing faster, and they were playing more.
More with an identity. And that's something that we've been missing for a long time. Not even like an identity that's different from any other great defense identity, but we've been missing that kind of edge rusher. You know, we had Clay Matthews in the Super Bowl in 2010, but imagine the 2010s, the full 2010s. If They have a guy like Micah Parsons.
There's so many changes. That would happen in history. There'd be so many more playoff exits that the Packers would win because they had a guy like this. And we've always said that. It's not.
It's not Revisionist history in any way, we've always said, man, we need a guy like Micah Parsons or whoever else it would be, TJ Watt. you know, since they didn't draft TJ Watt, there's been plenty of instances where They could have totally. Used. TJ Wadd. This sounds like a great radio program.
Whisco Sports Show with Grant Bill says 29 total snaps, 45% of the total. Um So that's pretty good. Bobby says your glasses make you look like a superhero Marvel character. Um I couldn't think of anything funny. I was gonna go with Bartman.
But that's DC Comics.
So I was like, you're in a real pickle here. Bartman Jones No, I don't know. Uh the glasses are because I look cool. And also, I have been drinking some of the Happy Plays hemp seltzers at night. And I'm like, no, man, I'm good.
And then I had one before kickoff. And that compelled me to put on glasses. Those seltzers can be yours as well. Happyplacehemp.com. Promo code is BART.
Happyplacehemp.com. Promo code BART at checkout gives you 25% off. Each and every order. With happyplacehemp.com, the gummies. Or the Seltzers, or what have you again, happy place hemp.
So, Packers get the win, of course. And if anybody wants to jump in, I put the link in the comments. If not, Um You know, I'll just dance around my own. Vocal cords for Another 25 minutes. Let's get some of the comments before I get back into my spiel, as the comments do also highlight interaction with the radio program, which is key.
You know, a lot of old radio programs abused the callers, but nowadays we've found it more responsive from the text line. And we like to incorporate that into our show because we have a little bit more control about the kind of stuff that comes in. That's all code for nobody calls your show.

Is that Is that You just don't like Jared Goff? I don't think you're that good. Uh today. I don't think he did uh that good. Today, man.
That is a comment. Uh what else we got here? Hey Bert, Parsons broke into the sound barrier. Yes, he did. Bobby says, Why is there so many people, old people, sitting in their seats?
At Lambeau Field Stonefaced.
Well, it's a good question. And it's not because of Happy Place Ham. It's because they are, you know. They are owners. Not in the way that I'm a Packer owner.
I'm a Packer owner like It's pretty cool to be able to say that. It's cool to have a piece of paper. It's cool to lord that over people's heads, both Packers and non-Packers fans. Alike. Um But these older folks.
Our Packers owners, as in You need to prove it to me. You make more than $3 million. You need to be an all-star. I want to report on your play by the end of the week. You know, the guys that talk to their seats.
Yeah, until Jordan Love proves it from me there, Jerry. I just don't know if this is the kid, Derry.
So they're serious because it's not a game to them. It's not fanatical, it's business. When those guys are there. Uh they mean And R. one hundred percent bidness.
So that's what That answer would be. Portland native, 188 million LFG. Worth every penny, crown our ass. Packers Super Bowl pick for me, Packers over Bills.
Now, Truly, it's Bills over Packers. But since I'm a homer, I'm going to go Packers over Bills. I do feel like the Bills kind of. Have a kind of manifest destiny that this is their time. But then again, I thought that once about Hillary Clinton.
So, what do I? What do I really know? But I am a Packer fan slash owner. It's very cool. I expect a lot out of them.
But I am very optimistic. I mean, I coming into the season, You already feel good enough about different positions. It's not perfect. Like they signed Nate Hobbes. There may be a Lock down corner away from being a great team and maybe come trade deadline.
Somebody. gets available at Goody snipes a guy, you know? Um, but it would have been nice to have Nate Hobbs play their acquisition there, and the offensive line played great today, but you always have questions about them. Coming in, and you know, is the running back room? What's that going to look like?
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But this is a good football team, and the Parsons trade. Elevates it for you. I feel like a lot of people came in. The over-under to start was nine and a half, and a lot of the money was coming in on the under.
Because the Packers are kind of like a team that is maybe like. Houston, Texany. Or You know, Miami Dolphins before this year when they're gonna be absolute trash. But like a nine and eight team, like oh, you know, they're not bad, but I they would never, they have to prove it to me.
So, a lot of people were thinking this was a nine-win team.
Well, if you think they're a nine-win team and you get Micah Parsons, now you're up to 10 minimum. And then also, I've got another one or two wins in there. Probably two, because of how I view Jordan Love and what I think of him. And he does stand back there and he's very Uh poise and he's Yeah, sometimes it looks like when he's going to fling it, you know, you know, he's up to something. But you throw it down the field, and you know how, like, the TV doesn't always see where the ball is going, it doesn't always see the receiver.
But some quarterbacks you watch and you see them throw and you're like, Well, I don't know where that's going, but it ain't going in the hands of the good guys. And loves you, know there's going to be a guy five yards wide open. Or a guy who is double covered and he finds a perfect slot. And uh E C D Lambs are down the sideline. Although Lamb's was worse than Reed's, I I pick on Reed.
Um But then I get another two wins because we've seen the best in Jordan Love. We've seen him play like an MVP quarterback. We know how good he is, and we know last year he was hurt.
Okay?
So Just by me Thinking Jordan Love is good, and not, I put that on Twitter, and it was: no, he's mid at best.
So just by me thinking he's good. And not mid at best, changes my view of the Packers by at least two wins. And then you watch them play today, and you're like, shit. This team's good, and they're doing it to a Lions team who everyone gives the benefit of the doubt to. Although I will tell you, once again, they are one third of the way to the 0 and three record I predicted them to have.
I take Jake. What's up? Nobody hears you. I'm just kidding. That was me doing a bit because of the start of the original podcast.
Oh, yeah, that's been deleted from YouTube. I know that's on the internet, it's there for everybody. No, I took it away. This is volume two of the show tonight. I Talk for Tryon on a previous try.
You know what? I don't like you two apart. Here's Q also. Sup? Happy days are here again.
Oh my gosh. Oh boy. What's up, guys? Should I take off work Thursday so I can do the pod after the game? Of course.
Yeah. Or just do it on we'll just come we'll just like Get us a streamline. Yeah, good streamer. Yeah. Just come on us.
Yeah. We'll just, yeah, we'll just come on over, just like the Packers. It'll be like a Marvel, a bullshit Marvel storyline where universes collide because you can do anything you want because you have magic rocks. Yeah. the Winklerverse can come on to the Bart Winkler show and vice versa.
I like it.
Okay. Why did we win? Jake? Why did we win? Are we talking about the Packers or the Brewers?
Because we're good as shit, Q. I I it seems like it. Yeah. What you saw was not a mirage. You're not...
That's the Packers. It wasn't a hate to tell you that. Nobody, nobody. That's the Packers. This is the team you're getting.
Hey, can you take your glasses off? Take your glasses off and now give us your team you are. All right. It wasn't just the glasses. I do think they were a little bit amped up.
Oh, no, wait, the floor sucks. That handsome piece of ass. Those eyebrows are so faded. I like betas. Maybe, hey, maybe that is why Bart kind of is not a LaFleur guy, because he's got like perfect eyebrows and Bart just doesn't have any anymore.
Where are they? What happened, man? Yeah, you lost all this weight and it was all in the eyebrows. I gained like 10 pounds this weekend just by existing. You try to not eat during the week.
You go out to dinner one time and get a Cubano, and you're like, well, there's eight pounds back, you piece of shit. What's that about?
So Jake, why did we win?
Well I mean, you you talk about domination on both sides of the ball. The concerns that I had going into the game turned out to not be concerns at all, which was kind of nice to see. I thought, yeah, Jameer Gibbs is going to kind of run on you, but you got to kind of have a bend-don't break philosophy. And I thought the boundaries, we might, you know, kind of get killed on the boundaries where. You know, Nixon is your number one.
I assumed Hobbs wasn't going to play, and even if he did, like, that's still. a mystery as to what we got with him. But I think just it shows you the juice that Someone like Micah Parsons can provide, not just on, you know, like Bart had mentioned at the top of the show, the specific plays where he's rushing the passer, but also what that does, how that tilts the field. You know, if you have to double team a guy that's 240, 245, that really says something about his ability. That was an abrupt.
Is that a question and answer from Q?
Well, okay, I'll keep it going.
Well, no, he asked you a question, you answered, and then he was just like.
Well, Penney Sewell can't guard him one-on-one, which was fun because, I mean, Parsons was just even in his limited action and his back injury still was throwing him to the ground. I think we saw a little bit of the entire Jordan Love experience today where he missed some gimmies. Maybe not gimme, but you know, throws that you got to have. He didn't throw any interceptions, Jake. Very close to a couple, though.
He didn't throw any completed interceptions that counted in the stats. And honestly, this was like a preseason game in a way for him.
So Well, and that's kind of the Matt LaFleur experience, too, where, you know, he's not going to get your reps in preseason games.
So it's nice because I always now expect a slow start and for them to come out flat and to come out and pretty much, you know, dismantle one of the teams that's allegedly a Super Bowl contender. It just makes you feel really, really nice. LaFleur was in mid-season form with a terrible challenge. Also, the weird trick play where we direct snapped it after they ran all the time off the clock to end the second.
So again, it's uh it's just we could have used him in the first half and not just wait till the second half to show up. Yeah, but overall I think I was halfway expecting a loss and potentially an ugly loss just because. Again, LaFleur is just his teams tend to have a slow start. And Campbell, I think, is somebody that would take a game like this so incredibly seriously. And we saw it at the end with the clown show antics trying to onside kick.
And it's like, Dude, can you just fucking stop, man? Enough is enough. Imagine somebody gets hurt because he's trying to get his garbage score points. He's such a joke of a person. Ye he n no no, you can't be grilling Dan Campbell for kicking an onside kick.
Down two scores with what, 50 seconds left? Two touchdowns. You always play to win the game. Yeah. I think that was a I think it it showed his uh no, if it was like 30.
No, I don't know. I think I think that's more of a Jake problem than a DC problem. Player the game on offense Jordan. Yeah, it's got to be Jordan Love. Is this First win of an MVP season.
He's got a good shot because he's got no, he's thrown to no one. Like anybody that becomes the number one, he made them the one in my book. The thing that bothers me with love and the, and I shouldn't care. I really shouldn't, but. The discussion around him is like people.
People just don't want him to be good. I mean, even I thought he, you know, I didn't like the pick at the time. Do I have to say that every time I talk about famously? I won't let you forget.
Well, we wanted Aaron Rodgers to get another Super Bowl, and Aaron Rodgers had four touchdowns a day. Dart, it is so hard to take you seriously with these sunglasses. I'm sorry. Can you put them on your hat? No.
You do look like a Packers sharefighter, I'll give you that.
So, you know, you know how, like, You've talked about how you don't sound sincere sometimes when you are. Yeah, thank you, Q, for remembering. But I I just, with these glasses, like. I don't know if it's if it's the glasses are sincere. Look, if I'm gonna, I got out my game, you know, if I'm just gonna sit here with my normal face.
That's not going to get anybody to pay attention to me. But if I wear double G glasses and then maybe pop off some gloves in a couple of weeks. Uh who knows? Um, yeah, take the gloves out of the drawer. Yeah, and eventually like They got Tom Grossi doing a side by side on YouTube during the opener.
How'd he get that? He put yeah, he put a big pet cast thing in right front of him. I need to start doing this. I need to start. I need to, I need to, you know.
Hey, I'm over here, guys. I want to be the next YouTuber. It ain't worth it. I wanna be a YouTuber. I think you have been for a few years now.
No, not like a douchebag that Talks with his face on the screen. Like everybody else on this planet, but like I want to host video game challenges with my friends in my backyard. You want like. You wanted to be one of those guys that, like, you know, he just goes on a stream and people can send money to him and then they'll do like you do whatever they say.
So, like, they'll be like, fifty dollars, put a carrot up your ass and then you do it. Like. Barkland Dog. That's not when you got 50 bucks right now. That's not YouTube, Jake.
I got plenty of things around here that I All right. I'm going to have to go with that one. Have a good night, guys. All right, yeah, Q's going to the back channel, the OnlyFan version of the show. I think I got him excited.
He's going to, I got to go check this out. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you do that. I'll give you the login code later. Let me look at some of the other comments.
What? Sure, sure. Go for it. Did you have a fun fact or something?
Well, I just wanted to say the Brewers, man. Got it. Miz looked the best he's looked all year, I thought. went seven innings, which is Crazy, um, not expected with someone like him, and then the Cubs lost in the ninth inning, three-run home run to lose to the nationals. Just what a great sports day for everybody involved in the Winklerverse.
Yeah, very good day. That leads us to this question from Stallas Tom. All too soon, better chance Packers in Super Bowl or Brewers in World Series. Packers. Packers, yeah.
Baggers. Could both happen? I did it. I was wa I was watching today and I had the thought like. Oh man, could we?
And then I was like, just don't do it. Yeah, don't do that, Tiers. Live in the moment. Live in the moment. Yeah, be present.
Mm-hmm. Because as someone, remember, I talked about this a couple weeks ago, catastrophizing. Yeah. Well, you're you're kind of doing the opposite. Yeah, well I'm trying not to do that.
If the bad thing's gonna happen... Do I want to spend, like, if I know a bad thing's going to happen in three hours and I can't stop it. Do I Worry for three hours or do I have two hours and fifty-nine minutes of good times? Mm. That's a tough call.
I mean it's the same uh You know what it kind of reminds me of? Did you play Powerball? At all. Lately. I didn't play up on this.
I don't play anymore. Because You can't be anonymous if you win. Oh, really? I didn't know that. Yeah, in Wisconsin you can't be anonymous if you win.
So I would love to win. And I would chat. I was talking about this with some guys last night. Like, what would you do if you wanted to, you know? And I said If I just want a billion dollars right now.
I don't think like I would not get a new car. I would not move. Yeah, yeah. Maybe fix up my basement, put a studio down here. But the funny thing about those big lottery winners, though, is they always end the same.
Like they lose all their money and they get on drugs and yeah, like it's it's always a catastrophe. I mean, I've done enough of that pre-lottery, so what's the point? True. Um but it is funny like um When you go when you're like in line to buy a lottery ticket, We're all so like we're idiots where we start thinking about what we're going to do with the money when we win. Yeah.
There's no shot in hell that you're going to win, but like I did it yesterday. I'm in line and Like it was insane in a speedway. Just The line, and it was all for lottery tickets, which is another funny thing because when those jackpots do tend to get to those huge, huge numbers, you have such an incrementally less chance of winning, but that's when everybody buys. Cause we all know 40 million wouldn't be enough. Like, but if you go give me a billion, yeah, then I'll play.
Well, that's why then I started just playing the Badger Five because I'm like, if I win, I only want to win like 10 grand. Then I did this magical thing. Which I just stopped playing altogether. Yeah, I gotta do that. I don't play a lot.
I only play when it does get to like the crazy jackpots. I mean, we do the Christmas tree, you know, there's lottery tickets in the Christmas tree. Sure, sure. Or in the scratch-offs? I mean, I used to, I used to.
I used to just be the crossword king of Fond du Lac. Mm. I bet that was a bunch. Do them in home room. Hey, Jesus Made got promoted to double A at 18 years old.
Yeah, we don't do updates on this show. Why not? You can bring me a sports flash. Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool.
Well, the jungle season's over. Yeah, so they wanted to give him some. Yeah, it was pretty cool. Drew says, Bart, I've been taking your line's 0-3 prediction and claiming it as my own around work. I feel like I'm going to be a hero tomorrow.
I do still feel strongly about that. And I Would have Love to have done a better job documenting it. Like I say it on the show and maybe it retains in your memory at one point, but I can't make a cool clip on Twitter and then get like, How did he know memes? Can we talk uh real quick about The NFL rule changes each year and like annoying they are I had no clue that a touchback is the 35 now. Like Just stop.
Or just get rid of kickoffs. It's stupid. Just put the ball in the 25-yard line. Just stop messing with it. And then I just thought it was strange.
McKinney gets a taunting penalty and then gets headbutted in the face. The guy hits him with the crown of his helmet. not an offsetting penalty. You just get it for the taunting. It's your fault.
Um And like taunting is now standing over a guy. And they're going to. be very um you know strict on this to really really uh they they they want to cut down on the taunting and all that and it's like All that's going to happen is it's going to be just like the NBA every year, the annual tradition where they try to cut down on flopping and they call it for like two weeks, and then it just goes back to what it was before.
Well, that, you know, it's really hard to like, if a guy makes a big play like the other night and then just goes, yeah. How are you supposed to stop that? You've been working your whole life for these moments. And also, you're already adrenalined up. Like, maybe you're smelling salted to the sky or.
Whatever else you need to take to get fired up and get that adrenaline to go battle combat in front of 85,000 people. How do you make a big fight? physical tackle and get up and be like, I'm satisfied and I'm retreating back to my huddle for the direction of my superior. Just shake hands.
Well done, sir. Oh, one more that pissed me off. Jordan Love on the interception that wasn't. Like they call a personal foul on Hutchinson for blocking love. Because, well, the new rules: like, if it's a quarterback or a kicker or a punter, if it's not near the play, you can't touch them.
How do you define what's near the play? And in that specific play, Love was running towards the ball carrier.
So What do you do? As you know, do you let him go? Is he not allowed? If he makes the tackle, does that tackle not count? Like, how does that work?
Well, have you ever seen a quarterback? I mean, chase down a tackle. There's been big Ben tripping a guy, but. Or the other, here's another one. I'm at the point now where I just root for quarterbacks to get maimed because it pisses me off how many rules they have.
Mahomes the other night when he like was running out of bounds. The guy who was chasing him did what he was supposed to, let up, and gave him the lane to run out. And Mahomes gets to just lower his shoulder into the guy. No penalty.
So You're protected, so you're going to use that to take advantage of the rules. The one that pissed me off the most was when I think it was Kenny Pickett was in college, where he went for the fake slide. Yeah. The guy led up and then he ran for a touchdown, and everybody was like laughing. And oh, this is what I'm saying.
Well, this is Mahomes did the other night. Yeah, like these guys are pussies. Just let them get hit. I'm tired of it. Maybe that's my sign that I'm go I'm turning old.

I thought I had something related. I didn't. Sure. No, this is when it gets good. Oh, no, Grant says: Matt LaFleur is calling out Packer fans who sold their tickets in his presser loser behavior.
Rare W, Matt. That's a W. I love that. If he wants to say that behind the walls of Lambo, he can. You don't say that in your presser.
Why not? I don't think it's a coach's job to be like, well, uh, All this execution I put into the game plan, which cannot be questioned because I'm an NFL head coach. What would have really helped is if the team didn't do the wave when we were on offense. He's not wrong, though. Figure it out.
Well, I mean this is. I've said this for years. I love the Packers so much, and I hate being called a Packer fan because. Packers fans in general are just kind of lame. They're They think they're the gatekeepers of football.
But what are you talking about? Name one. Name one lame Packer fan. Yeah. Yeah, well, like I said, any individual Packers fan is cool.
Like, we could chat about the game, they're generally knowledgeable. But when you group them together. It's just something.
Something changes. They're like the St. Louis Cardinals fans of football. Oh well, original take. Bill, it's 100% true though.
Jake. I don't think LaFleur should be saying that in his presser. I love that he said it in his presser. Say it again. If it happens again, keep calling him out.
What's the uh adamum or adium? What's the A lion doesn't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep.
So now you're calling Packers fan sheep, man.
Now you're ripping on the Packers fans. And you're calling LaFleur a lion. I don't know if I'd go that far. Little man Tiny little floor. Got too conservative.
Won't put his foot on the gas. Yeah, that's comment's been in here that he, you know. I don't know. I tried running the ball. The I didn't like the third down RPO, but.
No, there's still enough there to just be a little bit more. I never had the feeling.
Sorry, I never had the feeling that. The Lions were going to come back and win this game. You know, even when we take leads, a Packer fan will still be like, you know, yeah, I've been there. But I never had that feeling in this game. In fact, I think Q said this game went totally not what he expected.
This game went exactly as I expected. Maybe 14 is bigger than what I had. Maybe I had 8, 9, 10, 11. But I'm very low on the Lions. They're starting 0-3.
And I'm very high on the Packers, and I'm very high on Jordan Love, and I'm very high on the crowd. Getting a home game, and they seemed into it. I don't care how many Lions fans are okay, they have family tickets too. It didn't look that blue. You when you get in, see, here's the problem.
Here's the problem with these reporters that tweet. They like tweet when they're in the press box, when no one's in the stadium. Lions fans get in their first Ahsoka Lambo, and you're like, oh my God. Blue wave. Like those are the same.
Did your hole pucker a little bit like in the beginning of the second half when they kind of came out flat and they couldn't do anything? Never. Never tightened a little. No, it was in my lock of the week. I took him in a survivor.
I took him in two survivors. Seriously? Mm-hmm. Okay. I like that.
Three survivors, though. ESPN shitty survivor. Yeah, nothing like that. My real survivor, I took the Eagles. Oh?
I'll start a on that one. Yeah. Had to be puckered a little bit. Did the Broncos win? I don't know who Did they push off the Titans?
The Niners won, huh? I'm just checking the late local scoreboard. Sure, sure. Oh yeah, Broncos won. Rams won.
Everyone's afraid of the Rams. Look like a nail biter. What do you feel about Thursday? We got the commanders coming in here. I'll tell you what I feel, dub.
Well, it's a quick I mean The the quick turnaround, I I think you'd rather have it early than you would late in the year. Just more well, generally, more healthy bodies. Green Bay had a huge uh injury report leading up to this game, but. Pretty much everybody but Hobbes was good to go. I don't know.
I think it'll be similar for Parsons. He'll be on the pitch count again. But, uh,. I don't know. Daniels is tough.
Like, uh, I think... You got to have a spy on him. I don't trust Quay Walker to be that guy. I think you take Coop and you make him the spy. Um but there's real potential for him to run all over you.
I feel good. I think the commanders are going to be good. I think it's going to be a lot better of a game. But I still feel good about the Packers. I just am very.
very high on them. Browns, Cowboys, Bengals, Cardinals at Steelers. Maybe Aaron Rodgers hands us our first loss of the season as the seven and oh Steelers take on the seven and oh Packers. You calling it right now? No, I still think he'll be hurt by them.
Yeah. And nothing has surprised me about him either.
Now, I said he's going to suck and be very bad. And I also said that He's still going to be able to make Aaron Rodgers throws and throw it as well as anybody.
So I was almost right. I didn't factor in. the other fifty minutes of each game. where he can lead, you know. A team down the field on a drive if they're capable enough.
And he did that four times.
So I didn't factor that in, but I still think he's going to get hurt. Can you predict that? I'm not wishing it because that's bad. That's a sin. But can you predict the guy who's going to get hurt?
Is that a mortal injury, too? I think it's just a matter of uh statistics, you know, statistical probabilities.
So I don't I don't think there's anything wrong with that. But he did the again, it was like the first part of the Aaron Rodgers ride where He's got to give the Steelers this hope. You know what I mean? Like their fan base. They got to think, oh my God, we've got the magic.
He's turning back the clock. Because he's got to tear it away from you. He's going to rip your heart out from you. That's just what he does.
Well, we will find out. Um I feel good about this team. Again. I don't know. Where it's going to go, but as good as everybody feels about the Brewers, I think that's how I felt about the Packers for the last two months.
I'll give you props then. I didn't feel it until the Parsons trade, and then today. Yeah, or I believe in Jordan Love. See, I can look at a quarterback and tell you if he's good or not. You've got the.
The special uh Goggles on to do that, huh? Who is me on a quarterback, I'll tell you. Um Okay, like you want current? Yeah, tell me a quarterback. I'll tell you what I think of him.
Arch Manning He's not as good as Jordan Love.
Okay. This is a fun debate that I had. If Arch Manning's last name was not Manning, is he being looked at as a first-round pick this year as a redshirt sophomore? I'll probably not, but maybe, maybe if he is, he's but he's lumped in with everybody else. Maybe not as a redshirt sophomore.
Anyway, the whole bit was: I was going to say no one's as good as Jordan Love. Wasn't that funny? I'm glad you pivoted. And I'm also going to pivot my ass to the couch upstairs to watch Bills and Ravens. It's going to be a good one.
