Packers reporters Tom Silverstein, Ryan Wood and host JR Radcliffe look at a crazy start to free agency for the Green Bay Packers, including the loss of running back Aaron Jones to the rival Minnesota Vikings. In his place: former All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs, and the Packers also made a big splash in signing safety Xavier McKinney from the Giants. David Bakhtiari is released, as expected, and Keisean Nixon is back. On the Green 19 podcast, the guys react to it all.

It's a Packers News reunion! Former Journal Sentinel reporters Olivia Reiner and Kassidy Hill join JR Radcliffe and Tom Silverstein live in Indianapolis at the scouting combine.

What are the things most people don't know about the combine?

PackersNews.com reporter Ryan Wood joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss Ryan's series of articles giving grades to the players on the Packers roster this season. Which player got the lone A?

What offseason questions remain, including the future status of Aaron Jones, David Bakhtiari and Darnell Savage?

Reporter Ryan Wood and host JR Radcliffe take a look at the Packers decision to fire defensive coordinator Joe Barry. Obviously, the next question is "who takes over?" but Ryan says there's a bigger question to ask first. Was there anything Barry could have done to save his job? What are the next moves for the franchise? Plus: Another interesting move on the coaching staff and a new kicker.

Tom Silverstein, Ryan Wood and JR Radcliffe take a look back at a gut-punching 24-21 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs, the latest in a long line of Packers postseason heartbreak. Which missed opportunity stood out the most? How do we evaluate Jordan Love's performance in the game? What does the defense have to do to get to championship level (and is a change at coordinator part of those plans)? What's next for kicker Anders Carlson after a big miss?

Tom Silverstein, Ryan Wood and JR Radcliffe discuss the Green Bay Packers' playoff matchup ahead against the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers. Is there actually a way for the Packers to pull another upset? How does Matt LaFleur's offense compare to Kyle Shanahan's, and what weakness (if any) can the Packers exploit? What's the latest on Jaire Alexander's health? As Jordan Love has ascended, here's a thought experiment: How many quarterbacks in the league would you trade for Love right now, straight up?

On this mini-episode of the Green 19 Podcast, Pete Dougherty and Eric Baranczyk bring you "After Further Review." They'll break down the biggest moments and players that stood out after watching the tape of the Packers wild-card playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys, a dominant upset that ranks among the best Packers wins in recent memory.

The Green Bay Packers summarily defeated the Dallas Cowboys and former coach Mike McCarthy in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs, 48-32, matching the highest single-game scoring output in franchise playoff history. Tom Silverstein, Ryan Wood and JR Radcliffe discuss the elements that made this such a roaring success for the Packers, from Jordan Love's near-perfect day to Aaron Jones delivering yet another 100-yard performance to an offensive line that kept Micah Parsons at bay and a defense with two huge turnovers. Romeo Doubs, perhaps the forgotten man in the team's arsenal, has a career day. Darnell Savage and Jaire Alexander pick great spots for their first interceptions of the year. Kingsley Enagbare's injury is a sneaky tough one for the Packers to overcome. Do they have a chance to shock the world again in San Francisco next weekend?

The Green Bay Packers are headed to JerryWorld for the first round of the NFL playoffs.

Plus: Discussing the next defensive coordinator (if they need one?), what Ryan learned about Jordan Love doing a season-long deep dive and some surprising names for Team MVP.

On this mini-episode of the Green 19 Podcast, Pete Dougherty and Eric Baranczyk bring you "After Further Review." They'll break down the biggest moments and players that stood out after watching the tape of the Packers Week 18 win over the Chicago Bears, an uplifting playoff clinching victory that will send the Packers to Dallas next week.

With some defense and a whole lotta Jordan Love, the Packers beat the Chicago Bears on Sunday, 17-9, and advanced to the playoffs with a 9-8 record. First up: The Dallas Cowboys, a team coached by none other than ex-Packers coach Mike McCarthy. Tom Silverstein, Ryan Wood and JR Radcliffe look at an impressive showing against the Bears, from the active pass rush to the flourishing rookie class to more excellence from Love and running back Aaron Jones. Have Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks surpassed Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs on the depth chart? What's up with Anders Carlson? A weird end of the first half and some unfortunate breaks, but enough to overcome. Love has surpassed what Aaron Rodgers did in his first season; could he lead the Packers to a playoff upset, too?

PackersNews.com writers Tom Silverstein and Ryan Wood join host JR Radcliffe and look ahead to the Chicago Bears, the final opponent of the 2023 regular season ... will there be a game beyond that? The Packers are in the playoffs with a win, but the Bears have had a strong second half to the season and have emotional incentive to beat their arch rival at Lambeau Field. How is this Bears team different from the one Green Bay dismantled to open the year? How will the return of several offensive weapons from injury influence the game plan? Will De'Vondre Campbell's return help the Packers' linebacking corps keep Justin Fields under wraps? What exactly do we think is Justin Fields' future in Chicago? Jaire Alexander spoke to the media for the first time since his suspension; will he be tasked with shutting down D.J. Moore? Also: The Packers are left without a Pro Bowler and the writers' preseason predictions for the Packers are suddenly looking pretty spot-on.

On this mini-episode of the Green 19 Podcast, Pete Dougherty and Eric Baranczyk bring you "After Further Review." They'll break down the biggest moments and players that stood out after watching the tape of the Packers Week 17 win over the Minnesota Vikings, a stunning blowout that puts the Packers on the doorstep of the playoffs.

PackersNews.com writers Tom Silverstein and Ryan Wood join host JR Radcliffe to discuss a remarkable 33-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, one that puts the Packers on the doorstep of a playoff berth. All it's going to take is a win over Chicago at Lambeau Field next week ... but the Bears are playing better and the situation is eerily similar to a situation last year that went south. Jordan Love had another brilliant performance. Do we have enough of a sample to view him as Pro Bowl caliber? Jayden Reed, Bo Melton and the receivers found a way to get open all night long against the Vikings, and Joe Barry's defense bounced back in a huge way with a relentless pass rush. Also: Could Aaron Jones be back in 2024? What's the injury situation? Why does this team seem to be in greater sync with Carrington Valentine and Corey Ballentine in the secondary?

PackersNews.com reporters Tom Silverstein and Ryan Wood join host JR Radcliffe to discuss the surprising news about cornerback Jaire Alexander, suspended by the team for one game for conduct detrimental to the team, days after a strange coin-toss incident. It's a big game to miss with Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings set to host the Packers in essentially a must-win. How can the Packers handle Jefferson without Alexander? What do we know about newly appointed Vikings quarterback Jaren Hall? What's the latest on Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks, Luke Musgrave and Jayden Reed? Plus, looking back at the Lambeau Leap, 30 years after its birth, and some memories of Pro Football Hall of Fame finalist Julius Peppers.

PackersNews.com reporters Tom Silverstein and Pete Dougherty join host JR Radcliffe to discuss the Christmas journey that was Green Bay's 33-30 win over the Carolina Panthers. The defense struggled again and nearly lost what looked like a surefire win against a last-place team; what were the stumbling blocks this time? Is it really still all about Joe Barry? The offense, on the other hand, came alive, with Aaron Jones looking like his old self and Jordan Love still making things work despite a depleted cadre of skill-position players. Green Bay kept its playoff hopes alive, but if they miss, is there any chance it costs Matt LaFleur his job? Plus: Ups and downs with Anders Carlson, Tucker Kraft's bravery (or stupidity?) and Jaire Alexander is back on the field.
