On the season finale of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, JR, and special guest Tyler Brooke talk about their favorite moments from the past season, when they knew the Packers were for real, and who they’re most excited about going forward, and those few lingering doubts about what still may not be perfect.  But it’s mostly celebratory! Joe Barry is gone, and the guys go over the cornucopia of potential replacements, strengths, weaknesses, and who they prefer. They also target the big needs of the draft, as well as Tyler’s trademark early draft recommendation in an area of Packer need. While the team lost, it was an incredible season filled with breakout performances, so let’s talk about them.

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and special guest JR Radcliffe break down the team’s heartbreaking yet inspiring loss to the NFC’s best team. Should we be sad because we couldn’t capitalize on the rain and Brock Purdy’s tiny little hands, and the loss of Debo Samuel, or should we be happy that we looked so very good with all the kids and no cap space? Or is it a bit of each, because life, and football, are complicated. Was Eric Wilson’s fumble recovery the secret play of the game, and like, the best high speed fumble recovery ever? Is Christian Watson the secret big problem? Why didn’t Bo Melton play more? How big of a loss was Zach Tom? They should pay Aaron Jones, right? And Fred Warner. I mean, damn.  Plus the future of Joe Barry, Darnell Savage, AJ Dillon, SBH, Aaron Jones, and the NFC North, and of course, listener questions! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

On a new playoff episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and special guest Rich Madrid discuss the upcoming game against the 49ers, and the teacher versus the pupil. What are the similarities and differences between LaFleur and Shanahan, why does Barry’s defense kind of work against the 49ers, and will it work this time? Does the lack of depth in the 49er secondary give the Packers an edge? And is Brock Purdy actually, you know, good?  And of course, the guys take some time to revel in the blowout win against the Cowboys. How on earth did that happen? How much of it was Mike McCarthy? How did Luke Musgrave get that open? How good was Love’s game in a historical context? And when did we know that they Packers were definitely going to win?

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and special guest Tim Braun of Tech Hockey Guide, and the Chasing MacNaughton Podcast break down the win against the Bears, and just how many of the Packers’ outstanding rookies turned in great performances to push the team into the playoffs. The offense put up the most dominant 17-point performance ever, while young defenders Karl Brooks, Lukas Van Ness, Quay Walker, and Carrington Valentine all combined forces to limit Justin Fields, Khalil Herbert, and DJ Moore to 192 total yards. The guys also talked over the strange reffing, the lack of replay on NFL+, and just how quickly games move along without penalties, before turning to our old friend Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys, who, in some ways, share some things in common with the Bears. And as always, listener questions, as RAE rolls into the playoffs. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

This week, on the most Reporting as Eligible podcast ever, Paul and Matt discuss…reporting as eligible! How to do it, why you do it, and how the Lions and refs all screwed up enough that we didn’t notice Coach Mike’s clock management. They also discuss the brilliant win over the Minnesota Vikings, Jordan Love’s best performance as a pro, Bo Melton earning it, Jayden Reed dominating, and Tucker Kraft as one of the NFL’s best tight ends. The guys also discuss the ascending Bears, and just how challenging this may be compared to last time. They’re 5th in weighted DVOA, but how much of that is Montez Sweat, and how much of it is simply quality of offenses faced? Plus, listener questions about Joe Barry, Jaire Alexander, and the variations on the Tush Push, as we enter the NFL’s final week! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

On a special Holiday Reporting as Eligible, Paul does what he normally does on the minipod, and tells you just how a battered and broken Vikings team, starting rookie quarterback Jaren Hall, can still leverage the meager talent on offense, plus the incredible Justin Jefferson, to befuddle Joe Barry just enough to get it done. They’ll be helped by the insane, unique, Brian Flores led defense, which is the most unique defense of the last five years. Will Danielle Hunter ruin Jordan Love’s day? Will the absence of Jaire Alexander loom large, or would Joe Barry have screwed it up anyway? Will Paul Allen say something embarrassing? And who is more important for the Packers between Aaron Jones and Dontayvion Wicks?
