This is the Pack a Day podcast.

What's going on, Packer fans? Welcome into an all new episode of the Packaday podcast. I'm your host, Andy Herman. You can follow me on Twitter at Andy Herman NFL. I'm joined once again by the one and only Paul Brettel of Packers Wire. You can find him on Twitter at Paul underscore Brettel or X, whatever we're calling it these days. Paul, great to have you back. How have you been? I'm excellent, Andy. You know, as we have these conversations weekly, the way this

season's gone, I literally never know what we're going to be talking about or what the tone of

the conversation is going to be like because it has been an absolute roller coaster this season.

It has been as advertised going into the year. We knew there would be highs.

We knew there would be lows. We knew there would be frustrations and excitements.

that I cannot recall any other team in my lifetime hitting those levels of the extreme.

And I know that Detroit and Kansas City have gone through a little bit of stuff since Green Bay played

them, but Kansas City is still a really good football team.

That is a primetime game, Sunday night football, Taylor Swift at Lambo Field, Snow Bowl game, and that had a big fight feel to it.

And Green Bay came out on top in a big fight game. And then, and then they lose two straight to the New York Giants with Tommy DeVito, the Baker Mayfield led Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

And it's just, and it's been all year like this, that opening game.

And I know it feels like forever ago, but that Chicago Bears opening game, I was like,

okay, yes, this team is going to be able to play right out the gate.

And then you open those first three quarters against the Falcons.

And you're like, this is awesome.

Like, this team's going to be so much better than we thought. And then the fourth quarter against the Falcons.

And then you get three quarters against the Saints.

We're like, this is one of the worst football teams I've ever seen.

And then the fourth quarter comes and you're like, they're great again.
