There’s been some good, some bad and a touch of ugly. But here are the Green Bay Packers, at 3-2, with hope renewed off a 31-7 clubbing of the Chicago Bears.
With co-host Bob McGinn on vacation, Tom Silverstein joins me this week.
Thirty-eight years on the beat strong, “Spoon” continues to analyze and cover this team with the sharpest eye. Follow all of his work at PackersNews.com.
We examine what went right at Lambeau Field vs. Chicago and try to figure out where the season goes from here for Matt LaFleur’s team.
Is Silverstein confident what we saw in this game is sustainable? Instead of getting granular with the NFCN X’s and O’s, as we do with Bob, let’s take an episode to zoom out.
Video and audio is above.

The legend, Mike Ditka, also passed away. Here’s a piece from “Blood and Guts” on the legacy he leaves.
Thanks, all.
