20 minutes a day,

365 days a year.

This is the Pack a Day podcast.

Welcome into Behind Enemy Lines, a collaboration between the Paul Farrington show and the Packaday podcast. Paul, joined by Robert Ziggy Ziegler and Andy Herman of the Packaday podcast for what feels like it might be turning into an Andy Herman therapy session. I hope that Andy that Zigiggi and I can be a good use today.

That, look, the Broncos game from a couple weeks ago felt like it couldn't get much worse.

And then the Chicago game on Saturday night truly left me in shock.

And, you know, I'm not a Packers fan, not a Bears fan. I'm just a neutral party watching this. My team's been eliminated for a while here. And I couldn't help look at the television going like, oh my God, I need to call my Packers friends. Like make sure they're okay. So now that you've had a few days to sort of digest this, it's looking like the Packers are

going to go to the playoffs. At least you got that going for you. How are you feeling a couple

days after the disaster? Well, you mentioned that last part first. I think as just brutal,

and we'll talk about that momentarily as that six-day period was between the Broncos game

and the Bears game, I think what would have broke me is if the Steelers blew that game on Sunday. If they would have blown that one on Sunday, I think I would have been truly broken of just like this is the season from hell and there's no coming back from it. And, you know, just it would, you know, Green Bay would have had opportunities still to make the playoffs with two wins or what, you know, a variety of things could have happened to get in. But it just was like, oh, right, well, at least the Steelers are winning this game. They've got the lead and they're going to kick a field goal to go up eight and maybe Detroit ties it. But like this is and then they missed the field goal. one of the most reliable kickers in the league misses a very makeable field goal in good conditions and then in perfect conditions. And then, of course, lines go right down. And then you get that point where it was it, Amon Ra or whoever got the first touchdown and then they got the, they got called for the push off. And as soon as the touchdown happened, I'm just like, this is insane.

This is absolutely insane.

And then thankfully, you know, the football gods actually smiled upon us for a few seconds.

And back-to-back, you know, offensive pass interference penalties, you know,

save the complete disaster fest of what could have been for that weekend.

And again, gave at least a glimmer of hope but i talked about this a little bit the other day green base had some of the most

heart-wrenching playoff losses that i can ever you know you know that anyone should have to go through

there is a at least when that happens a finality to things you don't have to go and relive that the very next week again and have another heartbreaking crucial loss to go through the denver situation where again everything was going as perfectly as it could have nine point lead with the ball nobody's hurt yet Zach tom was banged up but outside outside of that, you were, you're feeling pretty good.

To the disaster that happened there and Micah going out for the year.

And then to your point, it's like, well, they can't hurt us again this week, right?

Like you can't. And then to have literally relive the 2014 NFC championship game, live and in living color,

in almost the exact same way that that game goes down,
