Welcome into the Wednesday edition of the Pack A Day podcast,

a playoff edition of the Pack of Day podcast.

I'm Steve Perratch, joined as always by Dusty Evely, Sarah Kelleher, guys, it's officially playoffs.

We've made it through the entire off the entire regular season.

How's everybody doing and nervous, excited?

What's been going on?

So Sarah, you missed you

last week. How are you doing? Yeah, I'm good. Glad to be back. Happy 2026, you guys, and to everybody listening. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little scared. I'm a little nervous, not scared of the Bears, just scared of the current state of the Green Bay Packers. It's been a while since we've seen a win. It's been about a month. So it feels

difficult to be positive going into the playoffs when you haven't seen the Packers win. But then when you look at the injury report, which we're going to talk about in a little bit and what guys are back and who's getting healthy, then I start to believe a little bit. So I'm a little nervous, but i'm excited i mean it's playoff football we're getting extra packers football anytime we get that

it's playoff

football. We're getting extra Packers football. Anytime we get that, is a treat. There's only been, I believe, 16 of the 32 teams in the NFL that have made the playoffs the last three years and the Packers are one of them. So we're lucky that we get to watch them in the postseason and excited to see what happens and I think, you know, against the Bears, let's get some revenge after that atrocious loss a few weeks ago and then just continue on. So, you know, feeling all the feelings, as they say, but I'm excited for playoff football for sure. Yeah, but Sarah, they're only the seven seed. And they've only been the seven seed for every year. So that doesn't count. It doesn't count. I don't know if you've checked Twitter, but that doesn't count. Even though they're in the playoffs, it's called the playoffs, doesn't count. Does see how you doing? I was going to bring that up in my most annoying voice I could possibly think of well actually

seven seed who cares listen they've been in the playoffs is that what I sound like in your voice

no no not you I was thinking like that I've seen that brought up as well that's what I always

pictured like the voices of those people well actually if you think about it so if they didn't

have the seventh okay all right man shut up I guess what have the? And they did. Yeah. If a frog had wings and all that stuff.

Yeah, no, I'm good. Listen, man, we've had, it's weird. Like Sarah said, I mean, I'm always

a little nervous going into play any playoff game. I get worried if I'm not nervous.

There are games I was not nervous for, and I will not mention those played out a certain way. So I'm nervous from that front. It is weird that we basically have not seen the Packers play competitive football or need to play competitive football in two weeks at this point. I mean, they got blown up by the Ravens. If they won that game, obviously, like the second C or the division was still the line at that point. They lost that, but it didn't feel like it mattered because they'd already clinched. So it's been two weeks since we saw them need to play. It's been over a week since we, but almost a week by the time this game comes up, though, we've seen anything even resembling like NFL football. So it's weird coming into a season or coming to the postseason where they only won nine games, but had this clinched for two weeks now. So I'm doing good. Feels a little weird. But yeah, it's it's playoffs. I wish some of those guys were back, man. You know, it stinks. They're without their full compliment of guys, but just we get a playoff game man i'm i'm hyped i'm doing well uh kids went back to school today so uh that was

a little weird and different uh kind of getting back into the swing of things a little bit got a new
