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.

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? Plus, listener questions! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, we feature many, many questions about Joe Barry and his relationship to the rest of the Packer organization. Why is Joe Barry still here? IsJoe Barry Matt LaFleur’s biggest mistake? Did Matt throw his players under the bus, and are they mad? Will keeping Joe Barry hurt the locker room, even next year? And is Matt LaFleur’s biggest weakness simply hiring people?In addition, who should replace him now and in the future, and is a familiar name the best choice? Is Ejiro Evero great at third downs, and are we about to find out the hard way? The guys do take some time to analyze the offense, the ascendance of Wicks Kraft, Love’s remaining bugs, and whether, when it’s all said and done, this may all be for the best. Plus Barry puns, Christmas songs, and of course, listener questions, as RAE rolls into the holidays. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, the guys recap a truly terrible loss in which the Packers failed in every aspect of football, and possibly a few other sports. Why can’t Love throw a spiral? Has Keisean Nixon played the game before? Is Matt LaFleur still calling jet sweeps somewhere peaceful and quiet? Did Rashan Gary and Preston Smith get “Varsity Blues Wasted” before the game? And is the prevent defense a good idea? Of course it isn’t! But despite it’s 0% success rate people continue to run it. So where does this leave the team? Are they still playoff bound or will they be embarrassingly passed by the Bears at some point? Which problems will stick and which were just a poor game? And just how much can we expect with all of the receivers injured? And also, why didn’t Jordan Love just follow Tucker Kraft? I mean, good lord man! Plus listener questions, as Reporting as Eligible serves up a huge helping of copium. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and JR celebrate the best win of the season, as they go over everyone who played great, on offense, on defense, on special teams, everyone! Love was great, Watson was great, Doubs was great, Dillon was Great, Wicks was great, Kraft was great, the Line was great, and Matt LaFleur called a brilliant game. Let’s revel in the greatness! And then on defense, the young guys kept gelling, Lukas Van ness broke through, and Keisean Nixon made one of the plays of the year to protect a tenuous lead. Has Joe Barry turned a corner? Do we even need Jaire Alexander? Let’s discuss. All of that, plus Taylor, Simone, and of course, listener questions, as the young Packers roll on! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, the gang is recklessly optimistic because over the last several games, we seem to have become a legit good team. The offense sparkled against the Lions on Thanksgiving as Jordan Love hit every receiver in every conceivable part of the field, turning in his best game as a professional, and turning heads across the league. Love was bolstered by a bounceback from Christian Watson, and continued excellence from Jayden Reed, and on the defensive side, from Rashan Gary. But can they keep this up against the outstanding Kansas City defense, and do we actually want them to make the playoffs this year? And are they going to make the playoffs this year? And while Joe Barry is Matt’s friend, what if a better friend becomes available? Who cares! The team is good and we talk about all the good as the Packers enter the home stretch.

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, JR, and special guest Tyler Brooke of Fanbuzz, who wrote a book, get together in the spirit of thanksgiving to discuss the Packers’ scintillating win over the Chargers! Jordan Love broke the 300-yard game streak! Tucker Kraft just might be a player. Dontayvion Wicks is definitely a player. Jayden Reed is like, the king of the players, just like Tyler said he would be. Romeo, well, he catches touchdowns. Things look good. So, can this team make the playoffs? And what about the defense? Rashan Gary showed up big, as did Kenny Clark, but is a secondary headed by Carrington Valentine good enough for this team to do some damage down the stretch? Will Joe Barry stay out of his own way? Will they actually play more than two down linemen against the punishing Detroit offense next week? And just how badly is Anders going to cost us? All of that, plus listener questions as RAE rolls into the holiday season! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt and JR discuss the Packers as the shining example of a Wisconsin sports franchise at the moment, and whether we really learned anything against the Steelers, or if this was the same old garbage. They also went over Matt LaFleur’s definition of a down lineman, and why it matters including just how damaging Joe Barry was to the outcome. But there were positives as well! Dontayvion Wicks is good! Luke Musgrave is rapidly improving. And Jayden Reed? He might just be a legit stud. The Steelers have a good defense and the Packer performance was probably better than you think. Especially if NFL replay actually worked for once. Plus, as always, questions from you, the listener. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

On the latest episode or Reporting as Eligible, the gang is back together as Paul, Matt, and JR recap a Packer victory over what was almost certainly an NFL team, even though they cut all of their healthy quarterbacks the very next day. Was the defensive performance real in any way? Is Valentine the future? Is McDuffie actually good? Will Simone Biles still be our own Taylor Swift for a while longer? And is Lukas van Ness improving? And what off the offense, which faced off against an actual NFL unit? Jordan Love finally hit a deep shot, but does it count if the receiver gets injured in three discinct ways on the play? Has Love ever been good at this? And can we take anything away to build on going forward, like the downfield presence of Luke Musgrave, or the ascension of Dontayvion Wicks? All of that, plus listener questions, as the Packers roll into Pittsburgh! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

On this spoooooky edition of Reporting as Eligible, Matt and Paul discuss the disappointing loss to the Vikings and the Packers’ historically inept first half offense, and offense generally. Why can no one catch the ball, and is a general culture of malaise impacting the entire team? They also go over Joe Barry’s seeming lack of situational awareness, Minnesota’s success without a running game or Justin Jefferson, and why we can’t do that. Plus the Gary contract, the rasul trade, and of course, listener questions! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

On an all new episode of Reporting as Eligible, JR, Paul, and Matt tackle the embarrassing loss to Denver, unweaving the rich tapestry of horrible failure binding the Packers into the the bottom five cellar of the NFL. Is Love struggling because of poor play calling by Matt LaFleur? Is Matt LaFleur struggling because he cannot trust his line? Is the line struggling because Adam Stenavich was Peter principled to offensive coordinator? Are Luke Musgrave and Jayden Reed struggling with incorrect usage, and is that Gute’s fault? Or Matt’s Fault? Is Joe Barry the shining star, or should we still pay attention to every time he send out nickel for 3rd and 1? The answer, of course, is a little bit of everything. Is Christian Watson a bust, or simply struggling while learning the route tree, and with a quarterback who can’t throw a go-route to save his life. Why end zone fades? Will trades be happening? Will people be fired? And what, if anything, is there to be optimistic about after losing to one of the worst teams in football? All that, plus listener questions! Wow, that exclamation point seems a bit out of place. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message

Host Paul Noonan reads a series of statements containing one incorrect fact among them, and the guys try to be the first to identify, and correct the flaw. Clues span the entire history of the franchise, several types of media, and of course, we finish with the Super Question as these three titans of Packer media take it down to the wire. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reportingaseligible/message
