Packernet Podcast: Green Bay Packers

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—
