The Packers blow a winnable Week 1 game in Minnesota, and Therapy is already getting spicy. Chris and Dave tackle LaFleur’s decisions, the offensive-line disaster, Jordan Love, dubious flags, Trey Smack, Christian Watson and whether 2026 is already becoming Season 21: The Rerun.
Week 1 is in the books and the Packers are already in the shop. Chris and Dave open with a two word verdict from the team chaplain and spend the next hour deciding whether this is fixable or just familiar.
Dave admits he didn't watch it live and makes a surprisingly strong case for why. Chris breaks down the fourth quarter sequence that flipped US Bank Stadium, including a Matt LaFleur decision that wiped points off the board, a Jordan Love sneak that never had a chance, and a penalty parade the NFL Network was too embarrassed to show.
There were bright spots. The defense held up under Jeff Hafley's replacement. Trey Smack went boom from fifty nine. Christian Watson put up a monster line and Keisean Nixon picked a very convenient week to look like a CB1.
Then it's Week 2 betting lines, a hotel casino guest who may need a fake ID, and two guys who came into September together and are now staring at very different seasons.

Posting its first show in 2005, Packers Therapy is the longest-running Packers podcast on the Internet. Hosts Chris and Dave began the show as a way of capturing the spirited chats the two co-workers had about the team around the office. The two have no pretense about being experts: they are just two opinionated shareholders who love the team, follow it closely, but don’t always see the Packers fortunes eye to eye.
The guys encourage comments and questions via their Twitter feed @PackersTherapy or email to packerstherapy@yahoo.com and read and respond to as many as they can during each show.
