Alex Strouf, Jason Wilde and Gabe Neitzel open State of the Packers from Summerfest by debating Matt LaFleur’s fresh contract extension, the late-season collapse, and whether “finishing” is really something a team can practice.

The guys then turn to Jordan Love, asking whether 2026 is the year he goes from good to great and starts elevating everyone around him.
