Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to break down the Packers' mounting concerns heading into their rivalry matchup against the Chicago Bears. With Green Bay ranking near the bottom of the NFL in rushing, third-down conversions, penalties and time of possession, is there any reason to believe things will improve? Jason explains how the return of Kevin Zeitler could help stabilize the offensive line and why Jordan Morgan's struggles aren't entirely his fault. He also discusses Pierre Strong Jr.'s role in the backfield and the defensive challenge of facing Chicago's dominant rushing attack without Edgerrin Cooper. Plus, Jason reveals where he'd use his one guaranteed victory between the Packers and Brewers — and why neither team is actually getting his wish!

It's Packers-Bears week, but does it feel like it? Jason Wilde joins Alex Strouf ahead of Green Bay's Week 5 showdown with Chicago at Lambeau Field, with the Packers sitting at 2-2 and facing mounting injury concerns. Jason explains why he still believes the Packers can win 11 games despite their rocky start, what Kevin Zeitler could bring to a stabilizing offensive line, and why Green Bay's struggling rushing attack remains a major concern. Plus, the season-ending injury to Edgerrin Cooper, Jonathan Gannon's challenge against Chicago's dominant ground game, Jordan Love's improved protection, and whether the Packers can finally put together a complete performance. And, of course, Jason shares his thoughts on Ben Johnson and why he wanted the Packers-Bears rivalry to matter again, even if Chicago's head coach is making that difficult to enjoy.

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe, and Chewy ahead of another Packers-Bears showdown, and there's no shortage of tension between these NFC North rivals! Wilde provides an update on Kevin Zeitler's readiness to play and addresses the uncertainty surrounding Jayden Reed's future following neck surgery. He also explains why Matt LaFleur and the Packers aren't taking the bait from Ben Johnson, even though the rivalry has become increasingly heated. Plus, Wilde sets the record straight on Jesse Nelson's past comments about Pat Murphy and explains why fans should spend more time celebrating the Brewers than digging up old takes. With the Brewers stealing the spotlight, has Bears-Packers really become an afterthought in Wisconsin?

Jason Wilde joins Molly & Jim They ask him if he's ever made any big clothing blunders and what kind of open-toed shoes he would wear before finally bringing up the Packers where he opines on Evan Williams' success, the defensive injuries, special teams, and much more!

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy and explains why Matt LaFleur’s measured public comments shouldn’t be mistaken for a lack of intensity toward the Bears or Ben Johnson. Wilde believes LaFleur is particularly frustrated because the Packers had opportunities to win all three meetings with Chicago last season. He discusses why Sunday’s matchup could change the outlook of Green Bay’s season and whether the offensive line has finally stabilized. Wilde also breaks down the Packers’ lingering issues with turnovers, penalties, red-zone execution and drops while addressing concerns about Christian Watson’s health.

Jason Wilde joins Molly & Jim on the Yuengling Guest Hotline ahead of the Packers' MUST-WIN game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with backup QB Jalon Daniels this Sunday! Jim asks if the Packers can be fixed with their new-look offensive line, and Jason wants to know why Molly looks so much like Alex Strouf today???? -- Will Kevin Zeitler start, and can he make them a playoff team still? They dive deeper into whether this season is still salvageable, can Jordan Love survive with this terrible O-Line, and do Gutey & Ed Policy always sit together at games?

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to debate who deserves the most blame for the Packers’ offensive line disaster. Wilde explains why the players have to share responsibility for missed assignments while also questioning Green Bay’s personnel decisions and preparation. He expects Kevin Zeitler to play at right guard and Laken Tomlinson at left guard as the Packers try to stabilize the unit. Wilde also discusses whether Mekhi Becton could eventually become an option at tackle and provides an update on Savion Williams’ return timeline. Plus, the crew revisits the lofty Cordarrelle Patterson comparison Williams received coming out of the draft.

Jason Wilde joins Jen and Gabe to break down the Packers’ dramatic attempt to repair their struggling offensive line. Wilde explains why he agrees that Brian Gutekunst shouldn’t receive much credit for addressing a problem he helped create and discusses the long-term questions surrounding the unit. He also weighs in on whether Kevin Zeitler could realistically play against Tampa Bay after coming out of retirement. The conversation shifts to Jayden Reed’s season-ending neck injury, the uncertainty surrounding his future and how much the Packers will miss him offensively. Wilde also looks at Green Bay’s remaining receiver options and whether another roster move is necessary.

Jason Wilde joins Alex Strouf after the Packers made an unprecedented overhaul of their offensive line, adding veterans Kevin Zeitler, Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton following three disastrous weeks of protection for Jordan Love. Jason explains why Brian Gutekunst deserves credit for acting, but not a victory lap for fixing a problem the Packers allowed to reach this point. They discuss how quickly the three veteran additions can actually help, where the blame belongs for Green Bay’s offensive line failures and whether the changes can salvage an offense with plenty of talent elsewhere. Plus, Jayden Reed is out for the season and will undergo neck surgery, Green Bay searches for answers at wide receiver and running back, and Jason explains why Jordan Love’s frustration is understandable as the Packers prepare for Tampa Bay.

Jason Wilde joins Molly & Jim! He discusses Brian Gutekunst and the recent offensive line additions and struggles, takes umbrage with Matt asking about the possibility of moving on from Gutey, and much more!

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to assess the Packers’ attempts to repair their struggling offensive line with Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton. Wilde explains why he isn’t giving Brian Gutekunst credit for addressing a problem that was apparent before the season and discusses how quickly the new additions could get on the field. He also reacts to Tucker Kraft addressing his comments about Packers fans booing and the backlash that followed. Wilde looks ahead to Green Bay’s matchup with Tampa Bay and whether the Packers can take advantage of an inexperienced opposing quarterback. Plus, he discusses Jordan Love’s leadership style and whether the quarterback needs to become more vocal during the team’s adversity.

Packers reporter Jason Wilde also joins Molly & Jim on the Yuengling Guest Hotline to talk about the Packers' EMBARRASSING, 35-14, loss to the Falcons in their home opener, diving into their glaring problems on offense, especially how the mismanagement of the offensive line has seemingly left them at rock bottom!

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy after the Packers’ 35-14 loss to Atlanta, and there’s no dancing around the biggest problem. Wilde says he has never covered a Packers offensive line this bad, and questions how Green Bay can function offensively when it can’t consistently execute even the fundamentals up front. The protection has become so poor that the Packers may have to rethink their entire offensive approach just to keep Jordan Love upright. The guys also discuss Jagger Burton’s rough night and whether the rookie is physically ready to handle NFL defensive linemen. Even after spending weeks wondering why Burton wasn’t playing, Wilde acknowledges the performance showed why Green Bay may have been hesitant. And the problems aren’t isolated to the line: Tucker Kraft and Matthew Golden added costly drops on a night where the offense needed virtually everything else to be perfect. Finally, Wilde explains why this 1-2 start feels different from previous Packers teams that recovered from early struggles. The 2014 team had Aaron Rodgers and an elite offensive line to fall back on. This group doesn’t have that foundation. Green Bay has now allowed 38 quick pressures through three games, nearly three times its previous high through three games since Love became the starter, leaving Wilde with very little to point toward as an obvious reason the offense will suddenly turn around.

Jason Wilde joins Kyle & Brust ahead of Packers-Falcons with the biggest question once again surrounding Green Bay’s offensive line. Wilde lays out the likely starting five of Jordan Morgan, Jagger Burton or Donovan Jennings, Sean Rhyan, Jacob Monk and Anthony Belton and says progress tonight would be simple: open some running lanes and keep Jordan Love relatively protected. He also explains why the continued mystery surrounding Burton is so fascinating after the Packers spent much of the offseason talking him up and giving him first-team reps. Could the Packers actually become a defense-and-special-teams team? Wilde says that possibility suddenly looks much more realistic. Green Bay entered the year expecting the offense to carry the load, but Jonathan Gannon’s defense has become the early strength. Wilde explains how Gannon’s constantly moving and disguising secondary differs from Jeff Hafley’s approach and why players like Lukas Van Ness, Edgerrin Cooper, Javon Bullard and Evan Williams are thriving in the new system. Plus, with Jayden Reed unavailable, Wilde breaks down how Green Bay replaces his production. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden should command even more targets, but the Packers may also have to lean on Bo Melton, Skyy Moore and J. Michael Sturdivant or increase Jonnu Smith’s role and use more two-tight-end formations against Atlanta.

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to break down a Packers offense that has struggled statistically despite finding ways to win. Wilde explains why he doesn't believe Matt LaFleur deserves all the blame for Green Bay's penalties and why players need to take responsibility for their mistakes. He digs into the Packers' puzzling handling of Jager Burton and why their decision-making along the offensive line has left him baffled. Wilde also discusses Matthew Golden's impressive development and the options Green Bay has in the slot with Jayden Reed sidelined. Plus, he shares why he's intrigued by Kaleb Johnson and wants to see the young running back receive more opportunities.
