Packers Total Access : Ben Johnson Takes Another Shot At Matt LaFleur

It's officially game day, and this might be the most important statement game of the Jordan Love era. With John Eric Sullivan already hired away to Miami as their new GM, the coaching carousel is spinning fast—and Jeff Hafley could be next with three teams requesting interviews. But forget the distractions. This episode is about identity, legacy, and reminding the Chicago Bears exactly where they stand. The Packers haven't just made the playoffs—they've done it because that's who they are. Title Town. Meanwhile, the Bears? They're visitors here. Their division title is nice, but history shows these windows close fast. Just ask the 2022 Vikings or the 2024 Lions. Ryan breaks down why this team needs to send a message—not just win, but dominate in convincing fashion like they did in Dallas last year. Also covered: Dentavian Wicks ruled out with a concussion, the completely fabricated weather hysteria being spread online (spoiler: it's going to be 32 degrees with minimal wind), and a deep dive into the officiating crew with NFL Ref Stats' breakdown of Adrian Hill and the penalty tendencies to watch. Plus listener calls tackle Harbaugh's reported demands, Al Harris and the interception debate, and what changes need to happen on the coaching staff. Pack up your crap and get out of our playoffs.

Packers Total Access : 🚨 BREAKING NEWS! Packers vs Bears Injury UPDATE Just Dropped!

Packers Total Access : 🔴 BREAKING NEWS: Dolphins POACH Key Front Office Executive From Packers! 

The Packers are heading to the playoffs, and this time the Bears are bringing everybody. Ryan dives deep into the complete injury landscape for Saturday's Wild Card showdown, revealing that for the first time all season, Chicago will have both Roma Odunze AND Keenan Allen—wait, Luther Burden—on the field against Green Bay simultaneously. But before breaking down the matchups, there's a bizarre curveball to address: reports claiming the Packers reached out to John Harbaugh's camp. What does that mean for Matt LaFleur? Ryan examines the strange speculation and tries to make sense of it all. The episode features an exhaustive position-by-position comparison of both rosters across all three 2024 matchups. Key revelations include Jordan Love's stunning 89.3 passing grade this season, the concerning offensive line situation with Zach Tom listed as a game-time decision, and whether guys like Baron Sorrell and Devonte Wyatt's absence will impact the defensive line rotation. Ryan also highlights the overlooked storyline: in the game the Packers lost, Jordan Love only played half before Malik Willis took over. This time, with a (hopefully) healthy Love and the full receiving corps finally clicking, the offense-defense gap could be the difference maker. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The playoffs are here and the nerves are hitting hard. With the Packers heading to Chicago for a wildcard matchup that Vegas calls a coin flip, callers flood the lines to share their anxiety, their hot takes, and their demands for this roster to step up when it matters most. Paul from Missouri drops a fascinating theory about why the run blocking looks elite with backup quarterbacks but mediocre with Love under center—and it all comes down to offensive linemen knowing a run play is actually a run play. Jason from Cali calls in desperate for hype, admitting he can't stop thinking about Saturday's game. Chris from Alabama brings the fire, declaring this team should win and reminding everyone that playoff time means every record resets to 0-0. The conversation gets heated around Rashaan Gary's future—is a post-June 1 cut inevitable, or will the Packers force a pay cut? Ben Johnson's bravado gets roasted as pure insecurity dressed up as confidence. And the bottom line emerges: Jordan Love is a $55 million quarterback who doesn't get to have bad days anymore. His legacy starts Saturday. Sixteen quarters to a championship. Let's ride. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!
