Show Notes
Chris Lempesis is back with the season premiere of his Tuesday night mailbag show, “Emptying The Bag,” answering all the Packers questions and comments that didn’t make it into last week’s postgame episode.
He kicks things off with a hilarious Lambeau Field bathroom story from a past Packers/Commanders game before diving into fan takes from Twitter, BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram, and email. Topics covered include:
The impact Micah Parsons has had on the Packers defense — not just as a pass rusher, but as a tone-setter for the entire team.
The continued rise of Jordan Love, what he’s doing well, and what he still needs to conquer to become a truly elite quarterback.
Concerns and optimism about the Packers’ run game, with Josh Jacobs extending his touchdown streak but still seeking more consistency.
Shoutouts to rising stars like Tucker Kraft, Keisean Nixon, Javon Bullard, and Edgerrin Cooper, plus the resilience of the offensive line.
Listener questions about penalties, Matt LaFleur’s playcalling, and the overall swagger of a defense that feels like the best in years.
It’s a wide-ranging, fun, and spirited episode that perfectly captures the energy of a Packers team sitting at 2-0 and looking every bit like a contender.
