Summary

The Packers have been dealt a devastating blow with Micah Parsons officially out for the season, but Ryan delivers a passionate rallying cry against the doom and gloom sweeping through the fan base. This episode dives deep into the "Ewing Theory"—the phenomenon where teams actually improve after losing star players—with compelling historical examples from the 2014 Cowboys, Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs without Tyreek Hill, and Nick Foles' Eagles.

Ryan breaks down the complete injury report with encouraging updates on Zach Tom, Christian Watson, and Evan Williams, all potentially returning soon. The episode features a comprehensive PFF grade analysis from the Denver loss, highlighting Josh Jacobs' dominant 88 grade, Matthew Golden's breakout 82 performance, and the surprising emergence of Darien Kennard as a legitimate offensive line option. Ryan also addresses the secondary's worst performance of the season and what Jeff Hafley must do to adapt the defense moving forward.

Put on your big boy pants, Packers fans—there's still football to be played.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast.

0:12.6

I am your host and resident fanalyst as always, Ryan Schlipp.

0:16.4

Check us out online, packernet.com.

0:18.7

Find me on Twitter pack underscore datab man i am uh pretty torn i think i know

0:26.8

the direction that we're going to go in today just based on time and whatnot when i when i first got up

0:33.7

today and certainly yesterday i thought zero chance we're doing PFF tomorrow.

1:29.5

It just, it doesn't feel like the right thing to do or whatever, but I don't know, the more I think about it, and I actually don't want to start with that, so we'll see how the timing goes. I don't, I have something else planned. It shouldn't take very long, but if it does, then we won't do PFF. But the reason why I decided screw it, let's do it, is because the season's not over. And I'm not going to sit here and change everything because, well, now our season's done. Now we have to start the postmortem and we got to start looking to next year. Bro, first of all, there's a good chance we have three weeks left. I shouldn't say good chance there There is a chance. We have three weeks left, and then our season officially is over, and then we can actually start crying. We don't need to start that today. This is a horrible, horrible thing that has happened. And in no way am I going to deny that this has been catastrophic. Our slim odds to win a Super Bowl got significantly more slim.

1:35.2

I do think, however, some people have taken this a little too far, and I want to at least put up a little bit of a wall into the complete doom and gloom that is not only as our season

1:40.2

over, but our franchise is ruined now. Everything is a disaster, and we're never going to

1:45.2

win another game ever again. I embellish a little bit at the end, but it doesn't matter because

1:49.6

it's equally ridiculous. Let's please try to remember, and we'll go through, I mean, we'll see

1:55.2

how devastating these injuries are. Obviously, there's a lot more people than Micah Parsons,

2:00.2

on top of already losing guys like

2:02.4

tucker craft and devonte wyatt and elton jenkins i mean critical pieces to our team you know we

2:09.1

we may be losing some other people it looks like pretty good news for um uh christian watson

2:15.9

we will have to wait and see about ev Williams, and I haven't looked in the last

2:21.9

hour.

2:22.4

Maybe there's been an update.

2:23.4

I just saw the official confirmation on Micah a second ago, which I think was basically

2:27.5

confirmed anyways.

2:28.4

I wasn't going to play the Will See game.

2:32.4

But let's also remember there was a time not too long ago that we were coming
