Cheeseheads in Chicagoland Mike Fleischman

The Green Bay Packers beat the Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott led Dallas Cowboys 48-32, but it wasn't actually that close. Kyle Shanahan said he started scouting the Packers midway through the second quarter, and we started entertaining the thought of playing the 49ers after the second drive.

Jordan Love was basically flawless. The defense was solid. Anders Carlson missed an extra point. Two of these things are regular occurrences, one is unusual. We hope the unusual one shows up again on Saturday night.

The Packers were projected to be rebuilding. They won a playoff game. We'd like it if they won a second playoff game because this team is fun to watch and we'd like to keep watching them.

Stay cheesy, drink beer, watch football. You don't have to be nervous about the game on Saturday. It's all found money at this point.

The Packers beat the Bears to squeak into the playoffs, where they'll face off against Mike McCarthy's Dallas Cowboys. Matt LaFluer has still not lost to the Chicago Bears yet. The ownership of the Bears has transferred to Jordan Love, we'll see if he inherited the ownership of Jerry World on Sunday.



Mike & Matt discuss their least favorite but most memorable experiences with the public at work and chat about how maybe it's time for Bill Belichick to hang up the sleeveless hoodie. Don't do TV Bill.



Matt went through some of the earlier episodes from this season and found some of the takes Mike was right about. Jayden Reed does have sauce, the Packers did finish with 7 to 9 wins, Jordan Love's accuracy issues were overblown, and Sean Payton is a bad coach. Batting 1.000 on things selectively chosen to make us feel good about our predictions.



Stay cheesy, drink beer, watch football. You don't have to do anything if you don't want to. You can just not do it.

The Packers won two games over the holidays! Mike and Matt watched from all over the United States as Joe Berry's defense did its best attempt at losing against the Panthers and the Vikings offense successfully beat themselves. Jordan Love looks like a superstar. Jayden Reed looks like a superstar. Matt LaFleur should win Coach of the Year for what has happened with this offense. But all of that hinges on the "Win and You're In" game against the Chicago Bears in Week 18, in a poetic Yin-Yang version of the 2022 season.

Is Kyle Shanahan in the Mike McCarthy "Pooping Their Pants in Big Games" tier yet? And at what excruciating point of this postseason will the 49ers take a big stinky poo poo dumpy in their diaper? Or will they finally cross the Rubicon and go potty in the big boy potty?

It's another highly educated and smart and genius and brilliant episode of Cheeseheads in Chicagoland. Did you know Rasul Douglas is tied for the most touchdown catches from Justin Fields at Lambeau Field?

Stay Cheesy, drink beer, watch football. You don't have to be a genius superwizard. Just do the things that have been effective for years, and it'll work out alright.

Matt got a concussion. Mike got a head cold. The Packers are getting ahead of the playoff race. A lot of head-based things have occurred over the last few weeks.



The Jets laid Tim Boyle to rest. We didn't talk about it much, but RIP Tim. We loved you. Have fun outside of the NFL buddy.



The Packers are good? Jordan Love is finally getting the respect he has deserved all season? Shohei Ohtani to Green Bay?



Stay cheesy, drink beer, watch football. You don't have to write new relatable things if you can just re-release the old relatable things you already made.

The Green Bay Packers won the game vs the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers worked harder to lose it than the Packers did to win it, but the W still shows up in the column.

Jayden Reed is the best healthy running back on this roster (?). Jordan Love looked great. Valentine & Ballentine combo did something to make Keenan Allen drop two touchdowns. It was definitely their doing.

How young is too young to get into the Grateful Dead? Is it ok to pour your Pappy Van Winkle over diet cola? Can our tastebuds understand the luxury of $3000 whisky?



Stay cheesy, drink beer, watch football. It's ok to trade for a solid backup quarterback. You shouldn't have to start Tim Boyle.

Look, the Packers' defense just looked like it prepared for a different team on Sunday. I wish we could say we took their lead and talked about a different game, but we didn't.

Christian Watson has been ineffective at best and the defense was confoundingly bad but at least Jordan Love and Jayden Reed looked good.

Stay cheesy, drink beer, watch football. Get the cheap beer at the store by your house and drink one while considering what a down lineman is.
