4PM: Packers Are NOT a Good Team & Bulaga Says They Keep “Shooting Themselves in the Foot”
The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust tries to make sense of a Packers victory that created almost as many concerns as a loss. With Edgerrin Cooper out for the season and Micah Parsons still sidelined, Kyle believes Green Bay has lost the one healthy defensive playmaker opponents actually had to account for every snap. More troubling, the Packers lead the NFL in penalties, drops and fumbles while also sitting at the bottom of the league in the running game and pass-block win rate. Kyle finally says it plainly: the Packers are not a good football team right now. Even with the offensive line finally looking competent, Green Bay managed only 17 points against Tampa Bay and again failed to put an opponent away. Kyle and Ben hammer the Packers for first-down penalties, an ineffective Marshawn Lloyd and an offense that continues going away from its best playmakers. Now Chicago comes to Lambeau with Green Bay missing Cooper, struggling against the run and looking nothing like the championship contender Brian Gutekunst expected entering the season. The mood is considerably better when the conversation turns to the Brewers’ 2-0 NLDS lead. The guys push back against anyone telling Milwaukee fans to calm down after Jackson Chourio’s walk-off, while also acknowledging the job isn’t finished. They look ahead to Dustin May and Game 3, debate how quickly Pat Murphy should turn things over to the bullpen and explain why jumping on San Diego early could crush a Padres team still processing two brutal losses in Milwaukee. Pasted text Pasted text Bryan Bulaga joins the show and admits he walked away from Green Bay’s win frustrated because the Packers could have been ahead by three touchdowns. He says the constant penalties, missed opportunities and wildly inconsistent running game continue preventing the offense from finding a rhythm. Bulaga also cautions that Tampa Bay barely tested Green Bay’s revamped offensive line, and he fully expects Chicago to bring pressure Sunday and provide a much more revealing test.

2PM: Packers Season on the LINE in Tampa & How Can This Offense Even Score?
The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust is live from Rally House in Greenfield ahead of a monster Wisconsin sports weekend, and Sunday already feels enormous for the Packers. Kyle declares Tampa Bay a “must-win times 10” game and says falling to 1-3 after losing to an undrafted rookie quarterback would effectively end his hopes for the NFC North, playoffs and anything resembling a Super Bowl run. Ben and Will get more creative with Name the Game, including the “Hot Seat Invitational” with Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst facing even more pressure if Green Bay falls flat again. Then comes the bigger football question: how exactly are the Packers going to score? Green Bay has the NFL’s worst rushing attack, Tampa Bay has been stout against the run and the revamped offensive line could be throwing veterans into action with almost no preparation. That leaves the game in Jordan Love’s hands against a vulnerable Buccaneers pass defense, but Love has been dramatically less effective under pressure and Green Bay’s 16% pass-block win rate is the worst since ESPN began tracking the statistic. Kyle still believes the Packers can win comfortably because Tampa Bay is starting rookie Jalon Daniels. Ben wants absolutely nothing to do with that prediction after watching Green Bay repeatedly play down to opposing quarterbacks and blow leads under LaFleur. The guys debate whether Kevin Zeitler and the new-look offensive line can change the offense quickly enough, and Ben explains why he has lost faith in LaFleur’s leadership after Green Bay’s recent collapse. Plus, the show discovers Will’s wonderfully chaotic three-TV bachelor setup, complete with two TVs on rolling carts, a massive couch and a weekend plan that apparently involves barely moving for 12 hours of Wisconsin sports.

3PM: Can Jordan Love FINALLY Break Out & Will the Packers O-Line Actually Protect Him?
The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust tackles the five biggest questions heading into Packers-Buccaneers. Kyle believes Green Bay’s defense will hold rookie Jalon Daniels and Tampa Bay under 20 points, while Ben points to the Packers’ history of making unlikely quarterbacks look far too comfortable. The guys agree the offense has the most to prove, but disagree on whether Sunday’s story will ultimately be Jordan Love finally breaking through or another Matt LaFleur coaching conversation on Monday. The biggest question remains the completely rebuilt offensive line. Kyle expects Laken Tomlinson and Kevin Zeitler to immediately provide more competent protection and finally give Love room to operate. Ben isn’t ready to trust a unit assembled in the middle of the season, especially with LaFleur already admitting the offense may need to simplify things. Still, both ultimately pick Green Bay to earn its first regulation win of the season. The K&B Fam also fires off its own burning questions, including whether Monday’s show would lead with the Packers or Brewers after a dream Wisconsin sports weekend and who could emerge as Green Bay’s MVP. Plus, Kyle gets put through another edition of Guess Who, featuring some of his finest out-of-context moments of the week, including “I love old men,” “I’m zaddy, he’s dad,” and his suddenly famous excitement over Kevin Zeitler. And Kyle drops a surprise Badgers prediction: despite Wisconsin’s comeback win at Penn State and entering Homecoming as a 10-point favorite, he has Luke Fickell’s team losing to Michigan State. Ben can’t understand how Kyle has endless faith in a 1-2 Packers team while demanding the Badgers prove themselves first.

4PM: Pick Your Brewers HERO & Packers Need Their Defense to SAVE Sunday
The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust starts with October baseball and one question: who becomes the Brewers’ postseason hero outside of Jackson Chourio? Kyle puts his faith in Garrett Mitchell, Ben rides with Jake Bauers and Will picks Brice Turang against a Padres bullpen that thrives on generating whiffs and chases. The guys also make cases for Joey Ortiz, Cooper Pratt and Andrew Vaughn as Milwaukee searches for the bat that can deliver the biggest moments of October. Then it’s time for Green Bay Props & Preview ahead of Packers-Buccaneers. Kyle and Ben expect Jordan Love to carry the offense against Tampa Bay’s vulnerable pass defense, while neither trusts Green Bay’s nonexistent running game. They debate whether rookie Jalon Daniels can produce in his first NFL start, whether Christian Watson delivers another explosive performance and whether the matchup turns into the ugly, low-scoring game the betting total suggests. Willingly Useless shifts back to the Brewers after Chris Sale’s emergency relief appearance sparks a question about whether Milwaukee has someone willing to demand the ball on short rest. The obvious answer is Jacob Misiorowski. Kyle and Ben debate how aggressively Pat Murphy should deploy Miz in October and agree the Brewers need to capitalize on every game their ace starts, especially with uncertainty behind him in the postseason rotation. Finally, Kyle makes his weekend proclamation: the Packers defense will win Sunday’s game. He expects pressure, sacks and turnovers against Daniels while the revamped offensive line gives Love enough breathing room to find a rhythm. And Kyle doubles down on Milwaukee, predicting the Brewers return Monday up 2-0 on San Diego before eventually finishing the series in four games.

2PM: Did Jordan Love DEMAND Help? Packers Reset Expectations After O-Line Overhaul
The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust wonders whether Jordan Love finally went to Brian Gutekunst and demanded help after spending three weeks getting battered behind Green Bay’s offensive line. Love declined to reveal whether he had conversations with the front office, which is enough for Kyle to believe something happened behind closed doors. Now, with Kevin Zeitler, Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton brought in, the guys debate whether Green Bay has done enough to give Love and the offense a fighting chance. That leads to a full Packers expectations reset. Kyle now has Green Bay finishing 10-7 and making the playoffs, while Ben believes the problems go much deeper than the offensive line. The K&B Fam puts its predictions on the record, ranging from 11 wins and a turnaround to five or six wins and a lost season. With Tampa Bay starting an undrafted rookie quarterback, Sunday becomes the first major test of whether Green Bay’s emergency overhaul actually changed anything. Plus, callers challenge Kyle to find nine more wins on the Packers’ schedule, while he argues even average protection could completely change the offense and keep Green Bay alive in the NFC. Then Over/Under shifts into Brewers postseason mode as Kyle and Ben attempt to name the last 10 Brewers to hit at least 25 home runs, with names like Christian Yelich, Willy Adames, Rowdy Tellez and Hunter Renfroe putting their Milwaukee baseball memory to the test.

3PM: Jason Wilde: Gutekunst “BOTCHED” the Packers O-Line & What Will It Look Like Sunday?
The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust starts with a debate over Jordan Love’s leadership style after he declined to reveal whether he went to Brian Gutekunst about Green Bay’s offensive-line crisis. Ben wants to see more fire from Love after taking a beating through three games, while Kyle argues Love doesn’t need to transform into Aaron Rodgers and publicly rip his teammates. With veterans Kevin Zeitler and Laken Tomlinson now in the building, the guys wonder whether Green Bay finally has some veteran voices who can provide that edge instead. Jason Wilde joins the show and tries to piece together what the new-look offensive line could actually be against Tampa Bay. Wilde expects Jordan Morgan, Laken Tomlinson and Sean Rhyan on the left side and middle, but right guard remains a mystery between Donovan Jennings and Zeitler. Mekhi Becton could eventually challenge Anthony Belton at right tackle, and there’s even a possibility all three veteran additions eventually find their way into the starting five. Wilde also delivers a sharp assessment of how Green Bay reached this point: Gutekunst has done plenty well as GM, but he has “completely botched the offensive line.” Green Bay moved on from players who may have been better, drafted players who haven’t developed and spent money on Aaron Banks while Zeitler was available. Wilde says Gutekunst deserves credit for reacting, but compares it to starting an inferno and then expecting praise for calling 911. Plus, he explains why the veteran additions should at least eliminate the catastrophic assignment mistakes that have plagued the Packers. Then the guys turn toward October after the Padres sweep the Cubs to set up an NLDS matchup with Milwaukee. The Brewers earned the advantage of sitting home after 103 wins while San Diego had to burn pitching just to advance, and Kyle and Ben begin looking ahead to Jacob Misiorowski taking the ball Saturday night.

4PM: Packers Face a MUST-WIN in Tampa & Bulaga Says O-Line Help Won’t Fix Everything
The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust starts with the Brewers and the importance of Game 1 against San Diego. With Jacob Misiorowski on the mound and Milwaukee entering as a massive favorite, Ben believes Saturday could set the tone for the entire NLDS. He trusts the Brewers’ resilience, but admits losing with the Miz would make him considerably more nervous about relying on an inexperienced rotation for the rest of the series. Then Willingly Useless gets everyone ready for October by revealing the Brewers’ ceremonial first pitches, including Carlos Gomez and Teddy Higuera, before reminding Milwaukee of some old Manny Machado beef. Will brings back Machado stepping on Jesús Aguilar during the 2018 postseason and argues Brewers fans need to have the boos ready when he returns to Milwaukee. Plus, an old video resurfaces of Kevin Zeitler practicing his pass-blocking sets while his wife was in labor, which naturally gives Kyle even more confidence in Green Bay’s newest lineman. Bryan Bulaga joins the show and says he does feel better about the Packers’ offensive line, particularly with Zeitler and Laken Tomlinson potentially taking over at guard. But he pumps the brakes on expecting an instant transformation. Bulaga expects fewer blown assignments and free rushers immediately, while improvements in the running game could take several weeks as the veterans get acclimated. Most importantly, Jordan Love should stop taking the kind of violent hits that plagued him against Atlanta. And Bulaga puts Sunday’s trip to Tampa Bay in perspective: this is about as close to a must-win as it gets. Falling to 1-3 with the rest of the NFC North already creating separation would make the playoff climb extremely difficult. Tampa Bay is starting an undrafted rookie quarterback, and Bulaga says if the Packers believe they’re the team they expected to be, this is a game they simply need to find a way to win.

2PM: Packers Sign Kevin Zeitler: Can THREE New Linemen Save the Season?
The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust reacts to the Packers finally signing veteran Wisconsin native Kevin Zeitler, completing a dramatic offensive-line overhaul alongside Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton. Ben compares Brian Gutekunst to Michael Scott hitting Meredith with his car and then taking credit for driving her to the hospital: Green Bay deserves credit for addressing the emergency, but Gutekunst also helped create it. Kyle believes the three veteran additions could legitimately save the Packers’ season if they simply give Jordan Love time to operate and make the offense functional again. The guys debate whether Packers fans should feel optimistic about the moves or furious that Green Bay reached this level of desperation only three weeks into the season. They also question Gutekunst’s track record developing and evaluating offensive linemen after moving on from players like Elgton Jenkins and Rasheed Walker while the replacements have struggled. And after a caller raises another issue, Kyle turns his attention toward offensive-line coach Luke Butkus and argues that Green Bay’s problems aren’t solely about personnel, they’re also about development. Plus, the guys revisit Tucker Kraft’s frustration with Packers fans booing during the disastrous home opener. Ben and Kyle argue those boos represented the standard Green Bay fans expect and that the front office’s aggressive response proves the performance was unacceptable. Then Matt Lepay joins the show to celebrate Wisconsin’s comeback at Penn State while pumping the brakes on declaring the Badgers “back” until they prove they can build on it against Michigan State

3PM: Brewers World Series or Packers Playoffs? Milwaukee Has MORE Hope Right Now
The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust asks a question that would have sounded ridiculous a month ago: what’s more likely, the Brewers winning the World Series or the Packers making the playoffs? Even Kyle chooses the Brewers. After Milwaukee’s 103-win season and dominant September, his confidence is soaring, while Green Bay sits at 1-2 with an offensive line that still has to prove its three veteran additions can actually turn things around. Michelle Smallmon joins the show and refuses to abandon her Packers fandom, but admits this is the lowest point she’s experienced since becoming a fan. She says the quickest thing Green Bay can change isn’t schematic, it’s fight, effort and intensity after looking lifeless against Atlanta. Michelle hopes veterans like Mekhi Becton can stabilize the offensive line and give Jordan Love a chance, but when asked whether she’d put money on Green Bay making the playoffs, she isn’t ready to go that far. Plus, the K&B Fam reacts to Kevin Zeitler, Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton arriving as Green Bay’s offensive-line reinforcements. Callers predict a Packers turnaround against Tampa Bay and Chicago, but Ben questions when a Matt LaFleur team has ever shown the nasty edge everyone suddenly expects. Kyle says the standard doesn’t need to be greatness yet: after three historically ugly weeks, simply becoming a normal, competent NFL offensive line could dramatically change what this Packers team looks like.

4PM: Packers Put Their SEASON on Three New Linemen & Kyle Is All-In Again
The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust turns into a battle over whether Kevin Zeitler, Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton can actually rescue the Packers’ season. Kyle believes Green Bay’s historically bad offensive line made it impossible to properly judge the rest of the team, and even becoming a competent NFL unit could transform the offense, keep Jordan Love upright and prevent the defense from spending entire games on the field. Ben isn’t buying the sudden optimism and wonders why three players who weren’t on Green Bay’s roster days ago should completely change expectations. The argument eventually reaches the ultimate line in the sand: if the Packers lose to Tampa Bay and undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels, Kyle says the season is over. Until then, he’s willing to put his faith in the revamped line and see if Green Bay can reclaim its season. Ben remains convinced the problems run deeper than one position group, from Matt LaFleur to the defense and the continued mistakes that have plagued the Packers through three weeks. Then the mood shifts to a team everyone can actually believe in. The guys explain why they’re done worrying about whether the Brewers draw the Cubs or Padres in the NLDS. After 103 wins and another strong finish to the regular season, Kyle says it’s time to trust Pat Murphy and Milwaukee’s “win our way” identity regardless of who is standing in front of them. Plus, Willingly Useless somehow turns Caleb Williams showering after a game he didn’t play into a debate about locker-room camaraderie. Homer joins late and immediately challenges Kyle’s renewed Packers faith. Kyle officially plants his flag that Green Bay will make the playoffs if the new offensive line can become average, while Homer and Ben remain out. One rule, apparently: Kyle reserves the right to abandon ship later, but nobody who jumped off is allowed back aboard.

2PM: Packers Are the WORST Team in the NFC North & Gutekunst’s O-Line Plan Has COLLAPSED
The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust with Alex Strouf filling in for Ben starts with an uncomfortable realization: the Packers currently look like the worst team in the NFC North. After watching Chicago win with third-string quarterback Case Keenum, Kyle admits the Bears, Vikings and Lions have all shown something Green Bay hasn’t through three weeks: the ability to compete for four quarters. Even Packers-Bears has been moved out of its original national TV window, adding another indignity to Green Bay’s brutal start. Then a Brian Gutekunst soundbite from less than a month ago resurfaces and ages like milk. Gutekunst said the Packers felt “really, really good” about their offensive-line depth and were worried other teams might poach their players. Three games later, Green Bay has turned to veterans Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton after injuries and disastrous performances exposed that depth. Kyle and Strouf question Gutekunst’s evaluation of the position and retrace the decisions involving Josh Myers, Elgton Jenkins, Aaron Banks and the young linemen that helped create the current crisis. Mark Tauscher joins the show and says the veteran additions are essentially emergency moves that reveal how dire things have become. Tausch says Green Bay could easily be 0-3 because the line hasn’t played well enough to win NFL games, and needing outside help at multiple positions makes this far more concerning than simply replacing one injured starter. Plus, Tausch explains why Wisconsin’s comeback win at Penn State now needs to be validated with a strong Homecoming performance against Michigan State.

3PM: Packers Aren’t Dead YET & Brewers Have a Chance to Rewrite October History
The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust with Alex Strouf filling in for Ben features a special edition of Are You Smarter Than Ben Brust, with Strouf stepping into the hot seat. Nate from Slinger puts up seven correct answers, while Strouf stumbles his way to four, proving that replacing Ben for a day doesn’t necessarily mean replacing him atop the trivia mountain. Then it’s all about October. The Brewers wait for the winner of Cubs-Padres, and the guys debate which matchup they’d rather see in the NLDS. Strouf wants another shot at the exact path Milwaukee faced last year: Cubs in the NLDS and Dodgers in the NLCS. After 103 wins and an 18-6 September, Kyle believes this Brewers team is better equipped to handle either opponent, with Jacob Misiorowski, Logan Henderson and Robert Gasser giving Milwaukee a rotation capable of carrying it deep into October. Plus, Xavier McKinney tells everyone to calm down about the 1-2 Packers, and Kyle surprisingly agrees. Green Bay has looked like the worst team in the NFC North, but Kyle argues the season can still change if the offensive line simply becomes functional. The hour ends with even more potential help on the way as the Packers host veteran guard and Wisconsin native Kevin Zeitler, giving Kyle yet another reason to believe Green Bay is desperately trying to repair the biggest weakness on its roster.
September 29 · 45 min
4PM: Packers Reach DESPERATION MODE & Could Kevin Zeitler Actually Save the O-Line?
The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust with Alex Strouf filling in for Ben reacts to another potential Packers offensive-line addition as veteran Wisconsin native Kevin Zeitler visits Green Bay. Kyle is ecstatic that Brian Gutekunst continues searching for help, while Strouf sees a giant red flag: a team that entered the season with Super Bowl expectations is already desperately searching for its third veteran offensive lineman. The guys debate whether Laken Tomlinson, Mekhi Becton and potentially Zeitler can actually improve the unit or whether Green Bay is simply trying to make a historically bad situation survivable. The K&B Fam floods the phone lines over who deserves the blame. Some callers argue Packers fans and media are overreacting to a 1-2 start, while others believe Green Bay’s sudden urgency proves Gutekunst badly misjudged his roster. Kyle argues the Packers deserve credit for admitting the problem and attacking it, while Strouf says the frustrating part is that these moves became necessary only three weeks into a season when the offensive line was already an obvious concern. Then Homer crashes the show and immediately pokes a hole in Kyle’s optimism: if Gutekunst built the offensive line that failed, why trust him to pick the players who fix it? That sparks a hilarious battle over whether these veteran additions are actually “better” or merely “different.” Kyle insists even marginal improvement could give Jordan Love enough time to function, while Homer compares Green Bay’s attempted fix to owing $1,000 and finding another $20. It’s technically progress, but the Packers still have a mountain of problems left to solve.
September 28 · 47 min
2PM: Packers Find NEW HOPE on the O-Line & Badgers STUN Penn State
The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust begins with Kyle finding something he desperately needed: Packers hope. Green Bay adds veteran offensive linemen Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton after Jordan Love spent the first three weeks under siege. Kyle isn’t expecting miracles, but after watching the offensive line post a brutal 16% pass-block win rate, he believes simply adding experienced players who understand their assignments could dramatically improve the offense. Ben pumps the brakes and wonders whether Kyle is already talking himself back into the Packers after declaring the season dead three days ago. Pasted text Pasted text Then it’s time to celebrate an actual Wisconsin football win. The Badgers erase a 17-point deficit to stun Penn State on the road, surviving three Colton Joseph interceptions before completing a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback. Kyle and Ben debate what the win means for Luke Fickell and whether Wisconsin can finally build momentum instead of following a big performance with another disappointment. With Michigan State, UCLA, USC and Iowa coming up, the guys say the next month will show whether the Penn State win was a breakthrough or just one great Saturday. Pasted text Pasted text Pasted text Plus, Kyle finally jumps aboard the Brewers World Series train after Milwaukee finishes with 103 wins and closes September playing its best baseball. The offense is heating up, the pitching staff is rolling and Kyle believes the Brewers have finally shown him enough consistency to make a deep October run. Ben, naturally, reminds him that Milwaukee has been giving him reasons to believe all season. Pasted text

3PM: Packers Have NO EXCUSES vs. Tampa Bay & Jason Wilde Warns It’s Not Fixed Yet
The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust finds Kyle clinging to his newfound Packers optimism after Green Bay adds veteran offensive linemen Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton. Kyle believes even average, experienced blocking could dramatically change an offense that has been historically bad through three weeks. Ben isn’t ready to buy it, especially with the Packers headed to Tampa Bay to face an 0-3 Buccaneers team starting undrafted rookie Jalen Daniels. After what happened against Atlanta, Ben says Green Bay has lost the right to have any opponent labeled an automatic win. Jason Wilde joins the show and pours a little cold water on Kyle’s “A New Hope” storyline. Wilde likes Tomlinson’s experience and says both additions are worth making, but reminds everyone they were available for a reason and shouldn’t be viewed as season-saving acquisitions. He believes Tomlinson has a legitimate chance to play immediately, while Becton could provide another experienced option if Green Bay decides to elevate him from the practice squad. Wilde also explains what actually has to change for the Packers to turn their season around. The offensive line doesn’t need to become elite, it simply needs to become functional enough to keep Jordan Love alive and create a running game. Green Bay has thrown the ball on 74.2% of its offensive plays, an unsustainable imbalance made worse by Josh Jacobs’ absence. And after surrendering 242 rushing yards to Atlanta, fixing the run defense is nearly as important as fixing the protection.

4PM: Packers Reset Expectations, Bulaga Calls Falcons Loss “UNACCEPTABLE” & Miz Makes History
The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust forces Kyle to officially reset his Packers expectations after entering the season predicting 12 wins and an NFC Championship Game appearance. After a 1-2 start, Kyle lowers the bar to nine wins and admits he wouldn’t pick Green Bay to make the playoffs based on what he’s seen so far. But there’s one giant variable: if veterans Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton can turn a historically bad offensive line into even an average unit, Kyle believes the entire outlook changes. The guys also give Jacob Misiorowski his flowers after a remarkable regular season. They run through the numbers behind Miz’s dominance, including a .157 batting average against, a 1.80 ERA and more than 1,100 pitches at 100-plus MPH. Kyle and Ben debate where the season belongs in Brewers history and how aggressively Milwaukee should deploy Miz once October arrives. Then Bryan Bulaga joins the show and pumps the brakes on expecting the Packers’ veteran additions to immediately save the line. Bulaga says improvement is possible, but learning a new system and building chemistry takes time. More importantly, he draws a line under what happened against Atlanta: “unacceptable.” Unlike Minnesota’s exotic pressure packages, Atlanta repeatedly created free rushers through breakdowns in communication and assignments, leaving Bulaga with no more excuses for what Green Bay put on the field.

2PM: Packers Hit ROCK BOTTOM & Kyle Says the Season Is OVER
The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust unloads after the Packers’ embarrassing 35-14 loss to the Falcons at Lambeau Field. Kyle says Green Bay has officially hit rock bottom after an offensive line disaster that left Jordan Love under constant pressure and produced a historically bad rushing attack. The Packers were bullied in all three phases, and Kyle and Ben question how Ed Policy, Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur allowed a team with championship expectations to reach this point. The guys also question whether LaFleur and Gutekunst can both survive the season if this continues. Atlanta piled up 498 yards, Bijan Robinson ran wild and the Packers looked physically overwhelmed against an 0-2 team at home. Kyle says Micah Parsons and Josh Jacobs eventually returning won’t solve the fundamental problem because neither can fix an offensive line that has completely broken Green Bay’s offense. Then Tucker Kraft’s comments about getting booed at Lambeau ignite another firestorm. Kraft called the boos disappointing and said they wouldn’t help the Packers win, but Kyle and Ben argue the fans had every right to react after a disastrous home opener, especially after Kraft struggled himself. Plus, the K&B Fam floods the phone lines to vent about LaFleur, Gutekunst and where the Packers possibly go from here.
September 25 · 39 min
3PM: Packers Have NO Answers, LaFleur Looks Lost & Is Jordan Love Being Ruined?
The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust continues the autopsy of Green Bay’s 35-14 disaster against Atlanta. The offensive line surrendered pressure from seemingly everywhere, including 10 pressures from Jagger Burton and five from Jordan Morgan. Matt LaFleur says the Packers have extra time to find solutions, but Kyle and Ben see one enormous problem: there may not be a solution on the roster. With Jordan Love already taking 29 hits between the Vikings and Falcons games, they wonder how much punishment their quarterback can possibly withstand. Then the conversation turns to Love himself. Callers question his accuracy and ability to respond to adversity, but Kyle and Ben argue the historically poor protection is beginning to alter how he plays quarterback. Love completed 75% of his passes when he wasn't pressured against Atlanta, but constant hits are speeding up his internal clock and making it nearly impossible to operate normally. The guys debate how much blame Love deserves when Green Bay’s pass protection has fallen to unprecedented levels. Plus, Tucker Kraft’s comments about Lambeau Field boos continue to infuriate the K&B Fam, Kyle gets fooled into thinking Sean Rhyan is healthy before learning he actually needed an X-ray on his snapping hand, and the guys debate whether LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst can possibly make it through the season if the Packers continue down this road.
September 25 · 45 min
4PM: Packers Are BROKEN, Tucker Kraft vs. the Fans & Has LaFleur Lost His Team?
The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust brings Torrey Lowe into the therapy session after the Packers’ 35-14 humiliation against Atlanta. Torrey says the entire performance was “trash,” from an offensive line protecting Jordan Love at a historically poor rate to a defense that surrendered 498 yards. The guys wonder whether anything can realistically fix Green Bay’s biggest problems and whether Matt LaFleur can survive the season if this continues. Tucker Kraft’s frustration with Packers fans booing at Lambeau becomes another major debate. Torrey argues the boos aren’t fans turning against the team, they’re the reaction of a fan base that expects more than getting steamrolled at home. Kyle and Ben agree that after Kraft dropped multiple passes and Green Bay fell to 1-2, blaming the atmosphere completely misses why fans were furious in the first place. Then Homer crashes the show and takes the conversation in another direction: the offensive line can’t possibly be THIS bad. Homer believes the historically awful numbers point toward players losing confidence in LaFleur and his staff, while Kyle and Ben argue the talent itself simply isn’t good enough. That sparks a fiery debate over whether the line can improve, whether LaFleur has lost his team and whether Green Bay’s problems have reached the point where major changes are inevitable.

2PM: Packers-Falcons: They CAN’T Lose This Game… Right?
Podcast Description: The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust gets you ready for Thursday Night Football as the Packers return to Lambeau for their home opener against Atlanta. Kyle predicts a 27-17 Packers win, but after losses to Minnesota and a nerve-racking overtime escape against the Jets, he’s learned his lesson about declaring any game automatic. The defense has given Green Bay reasons for optimism, but everything keeps circling back to the same giant problem: an offensive line that has struggled to protect Jordan Love, run the football and avoid costly mistakes. The guys debate what Green Bay actually needs to show against an Atlanta team that has yet to reach the red zone this season. Kyle says simply winning won’t dramatically change his outlook, but cleaner football could. Fewer penalties, better offensive-line communication and smarter decisions from Matt LaFleur would at least show that the Packers are starting to correct the problems that have plagued them through two weeks. Plus, Over/Under celebrates Lukas Van Ness’ hot start by challenging Kyle and Ben to name the last 10 Packers to record a 10-sack season. From Micah Parsons and the Smith brothers to Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers and a Kyler Fackrell appearance nobody saw coming, the guys dig through Green Bay pass-rushing history before turning their attention fully toward Packers-Falcons.
