Chris Lempesis returns for another edition of the midweek mailbag — even if, yes, it’s recorded on a Wednesday again — and this one starts on a far more personal and heartfelt note. Before diving into all the rage, sadness, confusion, and gallows humor of Packers Twitter/BlueSky/Facebook, Lemps opens the show with a moving tribute to Renee Prussie: his former editor, mentor, first boss, and one of the people most responsible for the career — and life — he has now. She was a brilliant writer, a phenomenal human being, and a massive Packers fan, and this episode is dedicated entirely to her.
After that, it’s time to rip open the mailbag and let the chaos spill out.
Lemps works through 24 questions and comments from Packers fans about the 10-7 loss to the Eagles — a game that somehow managed to be both depressing and infuriating despite a lights-out performance by Jeff Hafley’s defense. He talks through why the offense looks like Matt LaFleur found a 2006 Madden strategy guide and never updated it, the bizarre insistence on running into stacked boxes, Jordan Love’s mental mistakes under pressure, the absolute comedy of the kicker situation, and why the national media lecturing Packers fans is more condescending than helpful.
He also hits:
- * How to actually jump-start this offense
- * A possible new offensive line configuration
- * Whether Belton should play more
- * If LaFleur is coaching for his job
- * Why Parsons might be the only thing keeping this season afloat
- * The messiness of the kicking decisions
- * And the growing frustration with short-yardage play calls that everyone can see coming from space
Along the way, you’ll get the usual Lempisms, sarcasm, emotional therapy, advanced stats, a Dirty Work reference, and multiple moments of “Christ in a dump truck” energy.
It’s heartfelt, funny, frustrated, honest Packers talk — exactly what this fanbase needs after another offensive rock fight.
