This is one of the biggest Packers–Bears games in decades — and Jen, Gabe & Chewy spend the hour explaining why it feels so heavy. With the NFC North potentially on the line, the crew revisits parallels to the 1995 Packers, when Green Bay had to win its final two games after losing Reggie White to what was believed to be a season-ending injury. Chewy walks through what that moment felt like inside the locker room — and why the mental side of football can derail even talented teams. The discussion centers on: 🏈 Why this is the next step for this Packers core They’ve made the playoffs. Now they must win the division — even if expectations in Green Bay often skip past that milestone. 🧠 The emotional hangover after a devastating loss The crew debates whether the Packers risk coming out flat, feeling sorry for themselves, or if Matt LaFleur can generate the kind of one-game emotional boost that great coaches find when their backs are against the wall. 📉 How injuries change everything Even before kickoff, this game feels different: No Micah Parsons Questions around Christian Watson Josh Jacobs clearly on a pitch count Zach Tom unlikely to play The hosts break down why this game may come down to time of possession, third-down stops, and avoiding turnovers, rather than explosiveness. 📊 Why the betting line flipped The Packers went from favorites to underdogs — even with the Bears missing top pass-catchers. The group explains why betting markets often reflect public emotion as much as on-field reality, especially in rivalry games. 🎙️ Jason Wilde joins Later in the hour, Jason Wilde joins to: Rank injury likelihoods for Jacobs, Watson, Tom, and Evan Williams Explain why “questionable” no longer means what fans think it does Push back on the idea that the Packers are terrible against the run — while acknowledging why teams try to run on them anyway Explain why getting off the field on third down is the entire ballgame The hour wraps with a simple truth: This isn’t about style points. This is about whether the Packers can mentally respond, win ugly, and take control of the NFC North — or let injuries and emotion derail a season that still has real opportunity in front of it. 🎧 Big-picture Packers talk, rivalry stakes, and honest football perspective — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

As Packers–Bears approaches, Jen, Gabe & Chewy dig into why this matchup feels like a true chess match rather than a shootout. With injuries mounting on both sides, the discussion centers on how defensive coordinators can finally get aggressive — and why the absence of true deep threats changes everything. The crew breaks down: 🔍 Why the Bears’ passing game doesn’t scare defenses With Adunze and Burden ruled out, Chicago lacks a true vertical threat. That allows Green Bay to: Bring a safety down into the box Focus on stopping the run Force Caleb Williams to win underneath Despite that, the Bears’ offensive line and run game remain legitimate concerns — and the biggest thing that scared the Packers last time still applies. 🔍 Jeff Hafley’s biggest test With no Micah Parsons, Hafley must generate pressure creatively. The discussion focuses on: Kingsley Enagbare’s importance Whether Rashan Gary and LVN can handle increased snaps Why blitzing may be unavoidable This is viewed as a “prove-it” game for a coordinator with head-coaching buzz. 🔍 The injury-report games The crew debates why teams rule players out early vs. playing the “questionable” game: Why the Bears ruling players out early isn’t arrogance How the NFL punishes teams for manipulating injury designations Why draft picks matter more than fines They also break down how betting lines actually move — and why a 1.5-point spread essentially means a pick’em, regardless of which team is favored. 🔍 Why Vegas sees this game as dead even Despite all the injuries: Neither team has a clear matchup advantage Both offenses rely heavily on the run Both defenses have exploitable weaknesses The hosts agree this game likely comes down to: Turnovers Red-zone execution Which team handles pressure better Plus: classic Jen, Gabe & Chewy chaos — debates about curmudgeons, made-up definitions, household power dynamics, restaurant decision-making, and running up the score in The Week in ReChew. 🎧 Smart football talk, rivalry tension, and Wisconsin morning banter — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Jen, Gabe & Chewy welcome Jason Wilde for a wide-ranging segment that somehow merges Bears dysfunction, Packers accountability questions, and a crucial round of injury updates ahead of Saturday’s showdown. 🔥 Bears Chaos Makes Packers Fans Smile Wilde reacts to the Chicago Bears publishing an open relocation letter during their best season in a decade — a classic example of organizational dysfunction. From Arlington Heights to Northwest Indiana rumors, Wilde calls it another completely unnecessary self-inflicted distraction. 🔥 Rashan Gary’s “I’ve Been Playing Great” Comment Wilde doesn’t hold back. When Gary claimed he’s been playing “great” despite seven straight games without a sack, Wilde calls the self-assessment: “Delusional.” He explains what accountability should sound like from a premier pass rusher, especially now that Micah Parsons is gone. Wilde walks through how players like Elton Jenkins and Zach Tom openly critique themselves — and why Gary missed an opportunity to show leadership. 🔥 Effort Questions & Chewy’s ‘Loaf’ Theory Chewy suggests Gary looks slow on film and may even be loafing on plays. Wilde acknowledges the film concerns and why Parsons sprinting past Gary in pursuit has become a lightning-rod moment. 🔥 Packers Injury Likelihood Rankings Wilde gives a most-to-least likely list of who will play Saturday: Josh Jacobs — likely (on a modified “Clifton/Woodson plan”) Christian Watson — probably (sternum injury but flew home with team) Zach Tom — maybe Evan Williams — unlikely (MCL, sounded “not close”) 🔥 LaFleur’s Future & Ed Policy’s Power Structure The crew discusses whether an 0–3 finish would reflect on LaFleur — and Wilde outlines why Ed Policy’s desire to restore the old Packers structure (GM over HC) complicates LaFleur’s next contract negotiation. 🎧 A dense, insightful, sharp conversation that hits Bears dysfunction, Packers leadership questions, and game-changing injury updates — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Everything has changed for the Packers — and Jen, Gabe & Chewy try to make sense of it all as Green Bay enters a defining week in the NFC North. With Micah Parsons out for the year, the show dives into what the Packers now must become to finish the season strong, who carries the burden, and how dramatically the defense’s identity shifts without their most disruptive player. The crew discusses: 🔥 1. Matt LaFleur's future — and a possible front office shakeup The conversation explores how Ed Policy may want to return to the old Packers power structure, where: • The GM hires/fires the head coach • Football ops run underneath one unified chain • And LaFleur may need to decide whether he’s willing to stay in a setup where Brian Gutekunst is fully empowered They debate whether LaFleur would even sign an extension under those conditions — or coach out the final year and walk. 🔥 2. Watson’s importance — and why he might be the offense’s most irreplaceable weapon Watson’s chest/sternum injury created a major scare, but his limited practice session is encouraging. The crew breaks down why Watson changes everything: • Forces defenses out of single-high looks • Opens the run game • Creates explosive opportunities no one else on the roster can replicate Is he the most irreplaceable offensive piece besides Love? The group debates. 🔥 3. Bears week pressure The Bears are playing with confidence and absolutely smell blood in the water. The Packers? They must emotionally recover from Parsons’ loss AND prepare for a team that nearly beat them last time — and now believes it can score at will. Topics include: • Why the Bears view Saturday as their Super Bowl • Why the Packers must not come out flat • Whether the offense must carry the team for the rest of the season • How the point spread still favors Green Bay — and why that confuses Chewy 🔥 4. LaFleur’s role vs. injuries Is it fair to evaluate LaFleur harshly when the team is gutted by injuries? The crew weighs: • When coaching matters • When injuries excuse performance • And why the final three games cannot define six years of work 🎧 Emotional honesty, front-office intrigue, and rivalry-week tension — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy on a somber Wednesday after the NFL’s nightmare injury weekend — one that saw Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons both go down, along with scares involving Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Schefter walks the crew through the moment he saw Parsons’ knee bend on the broadcast and immediately knew what he was witnessing: “Oh my God… he just tore his ACL. You know right away.” He explains how tough it is for the league when two of the sport’s biggest superstars are injured within hours of each other — and how it casts a cloud over everything else happening on a Sunday, even big wins and playoff pushes. The conversation shifts to the NFL’s injury epidemic: 309 players placed on IR this season through Week 15 Up from 274 at the same point in 2023 Trending toward one of the highest totals in league history Schefter discusses whether this mounting injury wave could empower players to push back against the NFL’s long-assumed plan to add an 18th game in the next CBA — or if the financial incentives will make it inevitable. He also gives his perspective on: Why Mahomes’ situation is different from Parsons’ Why teams and players must prepare for injuries as part of the modern NFL Why the next CBA fight could be the biggest since the 2011 lockout 🎧 Clear-eyed, informed, and brutally honest — this Schefter appearance unpacks the most significant injury weekend of the NFL season and what it means for the league’s future.

The Green Bay Packers’ season changed instantly in Denver. Jen, Gabe & Chewy break down the emotional and on-field fallout after Micah Parsons’ presumed ACL tear, the moment that sucked the air out of the stadium — and the Packers’ sideline. The crew revisits the sequence: leading by nine, setting up to put the game away, Christian Watson injured on a deep shot, Parsons going down moments later, and the defense unraveling without their most dominant player. They discuss how Denver went from 2.9 yards per carry to shredding a clean pocket once Parsons exited. This hour digs into: 🔥 Rashan Gary’s reaction Gary insists he’s “been playing at a high level” and just needs to “do his 1/11th.” Chewy calls it delusional, pointing out Gary’s long sack drought and visible effort drop-offs on film. 🔥 Why the defense collapsed No sacks No pressures beyond Enagbare Corners isolated without help Sean Payton exploiting the Parsons-less front The loss wasn’t just physical — it was emotional. The team looked stunned, and the show breaks down why injuries to Parsons and Watson created a meltdown even the offense couldn't recover from. 🔥 Bears week outlook Despite the injuries, Vegas has the Packers favored by 1.5 — and Chewy is baffled. The crew debates: Why the Bears smell blood in the water Whether Green Bay’s run defense can hold up Why this may be Chicago’s “Super Bowl” How the Packers can avoid a late-season collapse 🔥 LaFleur’s job security The show discusses whether missing the playoffs due to injuries would reflect on Matt LaFleur at all — and whether the Packers should consider an extension now or wait. 🔥 NFL injuries & comeback fantasies Fans want old stars like Clay Matthews or Za’Darius Smith (with his eyeball emojis) to walk through the door. The crew breaks down why that’s not happening — and why toughness injuries like Josh Jacobs’ knee are far more complex than fans realize. 🎧 Honest emotion, tough questions, Bears-week anxiety, and classic JGC chaos — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Everything changed in one quarter. The Packers were up 23–14, the offense humming, and the season trending toward a possible Super Bowl push… until Micah Parsons suffered a presumed ACL tear and Christian Watson left for the hospital. Jen, Gabe & Chewy unpack the emotional gut punch of losing Green Bay’s most dominant defensive player — a moment that instantly shifted the tone from optimism to devastation. The crew discusses how quickly momentum vanished, why the stadium went silent, and how the injury fallout unraveled the Packers on both sides of the ball. They break down: How much Parsons’ absence changes the defense, from pressure packages to coverage expectations Why the team’s entire identity — physicality, swagger, confidence — was centered around Parsons The challenge ahead for Jordan Love, who must now elevate like Rodgers and Favre once did in crisis moments Matt LaFleur’s new reality: replacing a game-wrecker while dealing with injuries to Watson, Kraft, and an O-line already stretched thin Whether Green Bay can handle a suddenly surging Bears team that “smells blood in the water” Why this upcoming matchup may be one of the hardest emotional resets the team has faced in years The crew also compares this moment to past devastating injuries in franchise history, discusses how long it takes players to mentally recover, and debates whether the Packers can still win the NFC North or must now fight simply to survive. 🎧 Raw emotion, honest perspective, and the reality of a season-changing injury — all on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

With Micah Parsons’ season almost certainly over, Jen, Gabe & Chewy ask the biggest question in Green Bay: who must step up now? Jordan Love? Matt LaFleur? Someone unexpected? The crew debates whose burden grows the most without Parsons wrecking games. Chewy argues it's Matt LaFleur, who must get aggressive and build 35-point game plans the rest of the way. Jen sees the pressure shifting to Jordan Love, who now must carry the offense through injuries to Watson, Kraft and a battered offensive line. They revisit Jason Wilde’s comments about the team needing to lean on the same mindset they had before Parsons even arrived — a reminder the Packers believed they were good enough long before the superstar edge rusher arrived. They also examine: • Matthew Golden’s breakout signs, and whether he becomes the WR spark they need • Why LaFleur may need to embrace a “Detroit Lions-style” aggressive mindset on 4th down • Why the Packers may need to win shootouts, not slugfests • Whether the Packers’ WR room is their deepest since Jordy–Cobb–Adams • How the Bears will defend them differently this week — and what it takes to beat a division rival smelling blood Then the focus shifts to Bears week pressure: Chicago is confident, motivated, and prepared — and with no Parsons, the Packers must find new ways to generate pressure and force mistakes. The guys map out playoff and seeding scenarios and explain how Saturday’s game could turn the NFC North upside down… or keep Green Bay clinging to hope by a thread. 🎧 A tense, urgent, and brutally honest hour of Packers talk — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Micah Parsons goes down, Christian Watson leaves for the hospital, the Packers blow a 9-point lead in Denver… and Jen, Gabe & Chewy walk into the studio feeling like they’re going to a funeral. The crew relives a brutal afternoon in Denver where the injuries in the fourth quarter completely flipped the game — and possibly the season. They break down: How different the defense looked with Micah on the field versus the clean pockets Bo Nix saw after he left Why Sean Payton absolutely ate Jeff Hafley’s lunch, even before the injury The defense generating no sacks, hardly any pressure, and dropped interceptions that came back to haunt them Why this Broncos game went from “Super Bowl statement opportunity” to “season just changed in one quarter” They also dive into: The emotional gut-punch of losing Parsons — and why this feels worse than most regular-season losses How much blame (if any) Matt LaFleur deserves, what his extension could look like, and whether the front office would really consider moving on How different the mood would be if they had simply lost the game but kept Parsons healthy Then it all pivots to Bears week: Why Chicago will treat Saturday night like their Super Bowl Why the Bears now “smell blood in the water” with no Micah Parsons and a banged-up Christian Watson How this game likely decides the NFC North and could set up a Lions–Bears play-in game in Week 18 The mental grind of going to Soldier Field right after losing your second-best player and possibly a top-10 piece on offense Chewy compares the feeling to past Packers gut punches — Reggie White’s hamstring tear, Sterling Sharpe’s neck, Aaron Rodgers’ collarbones — and explains what it’s like in the locker room when a season-altering injury hits. Plus: callers from Chicago and Broncos country weigh in, fans describe waking up feeling like it’s a funeral, and the crew wrestles with the wild emotional swing from “this might be a Super Bowl team” to “can they even be good without Micah and Watson?” 🎧 Raw emotion, real football talk, and full-on Bears week anxiety — all in one hour of Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

ESPN’s Rob Demovsky joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy from Denver after a gut-wrenching day for the Green Bay Packers — a loss on the field and an even bigger loss off it, with Micah Parsons suffering a likely season-ending injury. Rob describes the scene inside the visiting locker room, including the powerful moment when Rashan Gary paused for 12 full seconds before answering how the team moves forward — a silence that said everything about the emotional weight of the moment. Rob shares updates on the other key injuries: • Christian Watson, taken to the hospital but cleared to fly — a promising sign for his return • Zach Tom and Evan Williams, both “week-to-week” with knee issues The conversation turns to how the Packers actually replace Parsons, with Rob emphasizing: • Blitzing will increase, because organic pressure won’t be enough • Coverage players must now withstand long, sustained drives • Dropped interceptions — previously erased by Parsons’ dominance — now become game-changing mistakes Rob also contextualizes the defensive collapse with a stunning stat: Micah Parsons generated 64 pressures — Rashan Gary was second on the team with 28 — a 36-pressure gap, the largest drop-off between a team’s No. 1 and No. 2 pass rusher in the NFL. Without Parsons, every corner, safety, and linebacker now plays with less margin for error — and the coaching staff must completely rethink the pressure package. 🎧 A revealing look inside the Packers’ toughest moment of the season — only with Rob Demovsky on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Jen, Gabe & Chewy welcome ESPN’s Jason Wilde to discuss the most encouraging news Packers fans have heard in months — the team is nearly fully healthy. Wilde explains what Jaden Reed returning means, why Matthew Golden’s frustration is understandable, and how Bo Melton, Wicks, Watson, Reed and Golden give Green Bay its deepest WR group since the Jordy–Cobb–Adams era. The conversation shifts to the tight end room, where Wilde details how Luke Musgrave, FitzPatrick, Wiley and Kennard are being deployed to replace Tucker Kraft’s all-around skill set. But the biggest headline remains Rashan Gary. Wilde breaks down why Gary and Kingsley Enagbare playing almost identical snap counts is alarming, what it says about Gary’s current performance level, and why Jeff Hafley publicly defending Gary’s run defense doesn’t erase the production drop. The crew also debates conditioning, effort, and whether Gary’s passion for football has waned. Additional topics include: • Why Carolina’s two-high shell blueprint remains the Packers’ offensive kryptonite • Why sustained 10+ play drives are still Green Bay’s biggest challenge • How WR injuries have forced LaFleur into unusual rotations • Whether Jeff Hafley is truly a frontrunner for the Giants’ job 🎧 Packers insight, honesty, and clarity — every weekday with Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

The biggest storyline heading into Packers–Broncos isn’t Jordan Love — it’s Josh Jacobs’ knee. After learning Jacobs is dealing with swelling and limited range of motion from a deep bone bruise, Jen, Gabe & Chewy debate whether Green Bay should sit him this week to avoid worsening the injury. Chewy breaks down the medical side (“doctor hat” activated), explaining why swelling and fluid around the knee late in the season are red flags and why Jacobs may need protection from himself. Gabe argues the counterpoint: this is a crucial stretch, and without Jacobs, beating the Broncos and Bears becomes significantly harder. The crew also breaks down the Broncos’ top-ranked defense, which is No. 1 in the NFL in both yards per rushing attempt and passing attempt allowed. They discuss: • Why Denver can sit in two-high shells all game • Why the tackles may matter more this week than the running backs • How Green Bay must reach 21 points to win — and whether they can • Why the run game is essential to beating Cover-2 looks They compare the Bears’ offense to Denver’s, assess the Packers’ chances without Jacobs, and talk through realistic playoff and division paths depending on how the next few weeks go. And in classic JGC fashion, the hour features a hilariously chaotic detour into the Top 8 at 8 touchdown scorers, shoe mishaps, and family frustrations — all before returning to whether Jacobs should play or rest. 🎧 Packers injury talk, game-planning strategy, and signature Jen, Gabe & Chewy chaos — every weekday on ESPN Milwaukee.

ESPN’s Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy with encouraging news: the Packers are finally close to full strength, with only one player missing practice and Jaden Reed, Matthew Golden and others trending upward. Wilde explains how much healthier the offense looks — and why reinforcements at WR and TE are changing the game plan. The crew also debates the wide receiver depth, with Wilde noting that this might be the deepest group since the Jordy–Cobb–Adams era. Bo Melton’s emergence, Golden’s frustration with injuries, Wicks’ inconsistent availability, and Watson’s resurgence all factor into a layered WR rotation that finally gives Jordan Love options. Then comes the biggest red flag: Rashan Gary and Kingsley Enagbare played nearly identical snaps. Wilde breaks down why that is deeply concerning for a $96M pass rusher — especially when Enagbare is making more impact plays. He also reacts to Chewy’s blunt assessment that Gary looks like a player “ready to retire,” explaining why it’s fair to question Gary’s fire and conditioning right now. Additional topics include: • The TE rotation replacing Tucker Kraft • Why Musgrave, Wiley, FitzPatrick and Kennard are being used situationally • How defenses like Carolina’s two-high shell limit Packers possessions • Why sustained 10–12 play drives remain Green Bay’s offensive kryptonite • Whether Jeff Hafley is on track to become a head coach elsewhere 🎧 Packers insider clarity, roster insight, and honest debate — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Jen, Gabe & Chewy break down the biggest shift in Green Bay’s offense: explosive plays are back, and Jordan Love is throwing the deep ball with confidence and precision. Love says it comes from timing, trust, and chemistry — the crew highlights how better footwork, quicker resets, and willingness to throw into tight windows have changed everything. Meanwhile, Christian Watson is finally healthy and playing his best football ever, Dontayvion Wicks is winning one-on-one matchups, and the offensive line shuffle — including Sean Ryan at center — has improved the run game just enough to force defenses out of two-high shells. Key stats tell the story: • Explosive pass rate (Weeks 1–4): 7.1% • Explosive pass rate (Weeks 9–12): 13.8% • Average depth of target has jumped from 6.4 to 9.1 yards The group discusses why Denver presents a drastically different challenge — the Broncos are elite at stopping the run, can sit in Cover-2 without fear, and lead the NFL in sacks. The question becomes: can the Packers stay explosive when defenses stop blitzing and force Love to string together long, mistake-free drives? They also hit on: • Why the middle of the field vs. Cover-2 remains underused by Green Bay • How play-action and heavy personnel are opening up deep shots • Why this WR group, when healthy, may be the deepest since Jordy/Cobb/Adams • The impact of getting Jaden Reed and Matthew Golden back 🎧 Smart Packers analysis, deep-ball breakdowns, and Denver preview — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Jen, Gabe & Chewy dive deep into why Jordan Love’s explosive passing game has taken off — and whether the Packers can keep it going against one of the NFL’s toughest defenses in Denver. Love explains that timing, trust, and communication with receivers have finally clicked. The crew details the improvements: • Love’s footwork is more consistent • He’s throwing earlier into tight windows • He’s trusting more than just Romeo Doubs — especially Wicks and Watson They highlight a stunning stat shift: Explosive pass rate first 4 games: 7.1% Last 4 games: 13.8% The O-line changes matter too — Sean Ryan at center and Belton at guard have helped unlock a more efficient run game, forcing defenses to play more honestly instead of sitting in Cover-2 all game. The crew debates whether defenses will clamp down again by: • Sitting in two-high shells • Forcing Love to sustain long 12–14 play drives • Daring the Packers to run into light boxes They caution that Denver’s defense is the best test yet, with elite run stopping and league-leading sacks, which may limit deep-shot opportunities. The hour also touches on: • Why the Bears’ defense is vulnerable in every area except takeaways • How play-action and heavy personnel have opened up the Packers’ vertical game • Why the middle of the field vs. Cover-2 remains underused by Green Bay 🎧 A smart, detailed breakdown of how the Packers’ offense evolved — and what must happen next — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Jordan Love is suddenly near the top of the MVP odds — but is he elite? Jen, Gabe & Chewy break down why national voices are finally coming around on Love, including why Colin Cowherd believes he’s been underrated for years, and why Packers fans still hesitate to crown him. The crew revisits the startling stat comparison: through their first 45 starts, Jordan Love’s numbers mirror Aaron Rodgers’ almost exactly. Completion percentage, passer rating, touchdowns — all nearly identical. But as Gabe points out, Rodgers made a massive leap after those first three seasons. Can Love do the same? They also dive into: • Why Love’s biggest remaining test is sustaining long, efficient scoring drives • Why his interceptions feel worse than they are • How quickly defensive coordinators adjust once film builds up • Why Micah Parsons’ dominance may be inflating Love’s margin for error • Why the Packers’ run-game surge is unlocking the deep passing attack And with Denver next on the schedule, the crew discusses why this stretch — Broncos, Bears, Ravens — will define Love’s MVP candidacy and the Packers’ Super Bowl legitimacy. 🎧 Packers quarterback debate, MVP energy, NFC chaos — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

MVP buzz is swirling around Jordan Love, and Jen, Gabe & Chewy break down whether the Packers QB belongs in the conversation — or if Micah Parsons is actually the most valuable player on the team. The crew examines why Love’s back-to-back top-tier performances have pushed him into the national spotlight, while also acknowledging the one remaining box he must check: driving long, mistake-free, sustained scoring drives against top defenses. They compare Love’s first 45 starts to Aaron Rodgers’, discuss whether the league has adjusted to Love yet, and debate how quarterbacks should truly be evaluated once defensive coordinators have real film to game-plan against. The group also explores: • Why Jordan Love’s interceptions feel so memorable • How well Love bounces back from mistakes — a major sign of maturity • The “goalposts” constantly shifting for Love due to past Packers QB greatness • Whether this season’s MVP race is about good QB play or bad defense leaguewide With the Packers headed to Denver next, the crew turns to the Broncos trap-game danger, reviewing Green Bay’s brutal AFC-road track record and noting Denver’s elite run defense and NFL-best sack total. 🎧 Smart debate, MVP talk, and Packers realism — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

The conversation gets real on Jen, Gabe & Chewy as the crew breaks down whether the Packers’ 28–21 win over Chicago proves Green Bay is now a legitimate Super Bowl contender. With the NFC filled with flawed teams — from the Eagles unraveling to Detroit sliding and Tampa fading — the hosts debate whether the Packers’ steady rise puts them near the top of the conference. The show digs into the Jordan Love debate, comparing his first 45 starts to Aaron Rodgers’ numbers (shockingly similar), discussing whether he belongs in the MVP conversation, and questioning whether Micah Parsons might actually be the Packers’ most valuable player. They also explore: • Why fans hesitate to call the Packers “very good” • Which NFC teams can actually win a Super Bowl • Why Green Bay looks more complete than Seattle or Detroit • Why the next three games (Broncos–Bears–Ravens) could swing the season And as Denver looms, the crew warns of a classic trap game: the Packers haven’t won a road AFC game in years, and Mile High remains one of the toughest environments in football. 🎧 Packers confidence check, MVP arguments, NFC landscape chaos — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

The MVP conversation around Jordan Love is heating up — but is he even the most valuable player on the Packers? Jen, Gabe & Chewy dig into the debate, making the case for Micah Parsons as the true engine of Green Bay’s success. From his game-changing pass-rush influence to how he elevates the entire defense, the crew weighs whether Parsons holds more actual value than the Packer quarterback. The group also breaks down Love’s rising national profile, how his efficiency and big-game performances are boosting his MVP case, and why upcoming showdowns — especially against Buffalo and Baltimore — could swing the award race. With the Packers heading to Denver next, the crew reviews Green Bay’s ugly history vs. the AFC West, including four straight AFC road losses and only one win in Denver since 1978. They discuss altitude, noise, the mental games of Mile High, and why this matchup is crucial in the tight NFC North race. Additional topics include: • Why quarterback play across the NFL is down this season • The unofficial rule that MVPs must come from top-seeded teams • Statistical comparisons between Jordan Love’s first 45 starts and Aaron Rodgers’ • Why losing in Denver could crush Love’s MVP momentum • How the Bears’ last performance actually made next week more dangerous 🎧 Packers insight, MVP debates, and big-game pressure — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

It’s a Victory Monday, and Jen, Gabe & Chewy react to the Packers’ 28–21 win over the Bears — a win that pushes Green Bay into first place in the NFC North and drops Chicago from the #1 seed in the conference to the #7 seed in a single afternoon. The crew reviews every major moment of the game, including three explosive Packers touchdowns and how Green Bay generated big plays despite a quiet first half outside of those highlights. They also tackle the growing debate: Are the Packers very good? And are the Bears actually good? Christian Watson continues his breakout stretch, with veteran-level adjustments on his routes and electric footwork that show how far he’s come. The hosts break down: • Watson’s physical dominance and slant-game explosion • Why he’s becoming Jordan Love’s most dangerous weapon • Why LaFleur must keep Watson, Reed, and Wicks on the field together They also analyze how the Bears’ coaching and run game make them a legitimate threat, what Ben Johnson is already doing at an elite level, and how Green Bay stacks up against teams like Seattle, the Rams, and Denver.

It’s a Victory Monday after the Packers’ 28–21 win over the Bears, and Jen, Gabe & Chewy break down every angle of Green Bay’s huge divisional victory. They dive into Jordan Love’s downfield resurgence, including multiple explosive touchdowns and his impressive bounce-back after a bizarre interception. The crew analyzes why the defense faded in the second half — from Chicago’s long, grinding drives to Green Bay’s two three-and-outs that left the defense exhausted. They also debate whether Matt LaFleur actually got conservative or whether execution simply fell apart. Of course, no Packers Monday is complete without officiating drama: • Keyshawn Nixon’s unsportsmanlike penalty and what the refs missed on the play • Whether the overturned Bears interception made any sense • Why Micah Parsons still doesn’t draw holding calls, and LaFleur’s frustration with it The crew also discusses Chicago’s fight, whether the Bears are actually good, the importance of the upcoming Broncos game, and how many wins the Packers realistically need to secure the NFC North. 🎧 Packers reaction, rivalry energy, and Monday mayhem — every weekday morning on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Dec 5

They dive into Jordan Love’s personality and leadership style, whether the Packers have that true “swagger game” yet, and how Green Bay should attack Chicago over the next two matchups.

Dec 4
The Giannis drama is officially back. Jen, Gabe & Chewy spend the morning unpacking Shams’ report that Giannis and his agent have had conversations with the Bucks about his future, and why this time feels different. Doc Rivers fired back pregame, insisting Giannis “has never asked for a trade,” but the crew digs into why his denial doesn’t directly address the report — and how NBA agents strategically leak information to create pressure. They compare this saga to past superstar situations, including Aaron Rodgers’ yearly theatrics. The show also hits the next major tension point: Giannis’ injury. After a scary non-contact fall, Doc says the Bucks believe it’s not an Achilles tear — but a calf strain still means missed games, and the Bucks are just 1–5 without Giannis this season. If the team continues to slip, does that increase the risk of losing him? The crew also debates: • Why Giannis isn’t shutting the rumors down • Whether his silence signals frustration • How teammates handled the noise • Why fans are starting to turn on the situation • And whether Giannis' preferred destination (if he ever leaves) has been hiding in plain sight Plus — classic JGC chaos: Chewy rants about liars, the psychology of passive-aggressive Post-It notes, and whether your friend dumping a bottle of wine on your stairs is grounds for losing house-watering privileges. 🎧 Smart NBA talk, Wisconsin humor, and brutally honest Giannis discussion — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Jen, Gabe & Chewy dive deep into the Packers’ NFC North path and why Sunday’s matchup with the Bears carries enormous playoff implications. Despite Chicago sitting at the top of the conference, the crew breaks down why the Bears might be more smoke-and-mirrors, leading the NFL in turnovers but still ranking 25th in points allowed. The group debates whether Green Bay can confidently beat Chicago, why splitting the two matchups would put the Packers behind in the division, and why the Baltimore game may ultimately decide the entire season. They run through every possible outcome: Packers sweeping the Bears, splitting, Lions winning out, and three-way 11-win scenarios. They also discuss: • How many losses Green Bay can afford and still win the NFC North • Whether Detroit is officially out of the race • Why Chicago’s run game — not Caleb Williams — is the true threat • Why the Packers’ inconsistencies make projecting the stretch run nearly impossible • How playoff seeding could match Green Bay with San Francisco, Seattle, or Philadelphia And in true JGC fashion, the episode includes great detours — from toilet-repair debates to the weirdest accidental inventions of all time. 🎧 Packers logic, rivalry tension, and Wisconsin morning chaos — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

It’s a massive Packers–Bears week, and Jen, Gabe & Chewy kick things off debating whether this is the most meaningful matchup between the rivals in a decade. With Chicago suddenly sitting atop the NFC and the Packers surging behind recent wins, both teams have everything to play for — and the NFC North could swing dramatically in the next two weeks. The crew discusses how Bears coach Ben Johnson has lived up to the hype, becoming the hottest name in the NFL coaching carousel, and whether his success is sustainable. They also examine why Jeff Hafley’s name is starting to circulate, what makes certain coordinators attractive head-coaching candidates, and how often young offensive minds truly pan out.

Jen, Gabe & Chewy dive deep into the Packers’ wide receiver identity as Green Bay heads into a massive matchup with Chicago. With Jaden Reed expected back and the WR room healthier than it has been in weeks, the crew debates Romeo Dobbs’ place in the offense, whether he’s simply a “nice” player or a replaceable possession receiver, and why Dontayvion Wicks and Christian Watson may deserve more of the offensive focus. They also question what’s going on with Matthew Golden, who was hyped all offseason but has barely been used during the regular season. Is it injuries? Coaching decisions? Or the Packers learning every lesson the hard way? From there, the conversation shifts to the Bears matchup: • Why Green Bay has more on the line than Chicago • How the Bears’ run game is the only path to beating the Packers • Why the outcome may hinge on whether Green Bay plays with the swagger it found on Thanksgiving Plus: fantasy football drama between Gabe and Josh, snow-removal politics, Packers playoff scenarios, and whether Marshawn Lloyd will ever actually be activated. 🎧 Insightful, funny, and fully Packers — every weekday morning on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Dec 2
It’s one of the biggest Packers–Bears matchups in years, and Jen, Gabe & Chewy break down why Green Bay has far more at stake than Chicago. The Bears have already exceeded expectations and can call this season a success with a playoff berth — but the Packers are chasing division titles, home playoff games, and long-term validation in the Jordan Love era. The crew examines the NFC North race, whether the Packers should focus solely on winning the division or dream bigger, and how the Bears’ dominant 281-yard rushing performance against Philadelphia raises major concerns for Green Bay’s run defense. They also discuss Caleb Williams’ inconsistency, how much credit Ben Johnson deserves for Chicago’s offensive turnaround, and why the LaFleur–Ben Johnson dynamic suddenly feels like one of the most interesting coaching matchups in the NFL. Plus — fantasy football drama between Gabe and Josh, Chewy’s paranoia at restaurants, long-winded snow-removal debates, and much-needed laughs amid rivalry week tension. 🎧 Smart football talk, rivalry energy, and classic Jen–Gabe–Chewy chaos — every weekday on ESPN Milwaukee.

Jen, Gabe & Chewy dive into what feels like the biggest Packers–Bears showdown in a decade. With Chicago sitting atop the NFC and Green Bay right behind them, Sunday’s rivalry game will decide first place in the NFC North and potentially shift the entire playoff bracket. The crew debates which team has more on the line — and they agree it’s the Packers, who have higher expectations, more invested in Matt LaFleur’s program, and a clearer path to a home playoff game if they take care of business. They also break down why the Bears’ run game is a major concern, how Caleb Williams remains inconsistent despite Chicago’s success, and why Ben Johnson vs. Matt LaFleur might be the real coaching battle to watch. On the Packers’ side, run-defense struggles, Devonte Wyatt’s injury, and Jeff Hafley’s adjustments take center stage. But if Green Bay wants to win, they may simply need to let Jordan Love throw — especially if the Bears shorten the game with long, grinding drives. The hour also includes: • Whether the division title or the No. 1 seed should be Green Bay’s goal • Why this Bears team is more legitimate than past versions • How inconsistencies have defined the Packers season so far • Why this week could be a “prove-it” moment for the entire NFC North 🎧 Packers insight, rivalry tension, and smart football breakdowns — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

It’s Packers–Bears week, and this one feels different. Jen, Gabe & Chewy explain why Sunday’s game is the biggest Packers–Bears matchup since 2013, with both teams above .500 this late in a season for the first time since 1932. With first place in the NFC North on the line, the crew breaks down what Green Bay must do to win the division, why Chicago’s unexpected surge changes the equation, and how the Packers’ biggest weakness — defending the run — will be tested by a Bears offense that just rushed for 281 yards against the Eagles. They also tackle the Packers’ biggest challenge all season: inconsistency. Big wins over Detroit and Minnesota mean nothing if Green Bay lays an egg this weekend. The group debates whether Jordan Love is ready to carry the offense if the Bears shorten the game, and whether Matt LaFleur can trust his QB to win late if time of possession turns lopsided again. Plus — snow shoveling chaos, Wisconsin winter misery, neighborhood drama, and why Chewy insists on warming up his diesel truck for 45 minutes as a personal protest. 🎧 Jen, Gabe & Chewy deliver daily Packers talk, rivalry energy, humor, and relatable Wisconsin life — only on ESPN Milwaukee.

The crew breaks down Green Bay’s path to winning the division, why this matchup carries so much weight, and how the Packers’ biggest enemy remains their own inconsistency. They discuss the Bears’ run-heavy success, how Caleb Williams factors in, and why the Packers’ defensive issues against the run make this matchup especially dangerous.

Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs also stepped up, giving Love multiple reliable options for the first time this year.
