Chris Lempesis empties the bag on Packers’ loss to the Browns — O-line woes, Jordan Love doubts, and classic Cowboys hate ahead of Dallas week.
Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room for another Tuesday night edition of Emptying The Bag, cracking a beer and sorting through a mountain of listener mail after the Green Bay Packers’ 13–10 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He opens with some classic, good-natured Cowboys Week venom (because of course), then gets into what went wrong by the lake: a historically bad offensive line performance, a run game stuck in mud, too many penalties and special-teams gaffes, and a tough day for Jordan Love and Matt LaFleur.
From Twitter, BlueSky, Facebook, and email, Chris reads your questions and comments and gives straight-shooting answers—folksy jokes included. He talks why the protection fell apart, what the film says about Love’s decision on the late interception, why Tucker Kraft needs more touches, and how the defense (hello, swagger) still gives this team a championship ceiling if the offense cleans up the details. There’s practical stuff, too: how LaFleur can tweak the game plan (more quick game, fewer self-inflicted wounds), what needs to change on special teams, and why you shouldn’t jump off the Jordan Love bandwagon just yet.
It’s cathartic, fiery, and very Packers Nation—the perfect mailbag to reset the vibes heading into Packers vs. Cowboys on Sunday night at Lambeau.
