Chris and Dave return from their post-Thanksgiving coma to break down a truly delightful holiday miracle: Matt LaFleur kicking Dan Campbell’s oversized, protein-powder-stabilized can all over the Motor City. It was a week of snow, nostalgia, mispronounced statistics, and the philosophical revelation that Jordan Love may, in fact, be a being in the process of becoming… elite?
The guys open with snowfall measurements (naturally), deep reflections on childhood metric conversions, and a perfectly normal Ticket King ad read that may or may not sound like Chris had a minor stroke. Then it’s time to relive the Packers’ Thanksgiving win — a game that somehow felt both comfortable and terrifying, in true Green Bay fashion.
Chris and Dave dig into:
- * LaFleur’s “man-up” game — Was he actually better, or did execution just magically work for once?
- * Jordan Love’s Zen-monk quarterbacking, complete with a pulse rate of 40 and a QB rating that outlived the turkey.
- * Dontavian Wicks’ coming-out party, strictly football-related (probably).
- * Romeo Doubs’ fumbles, hesitations, and future career as WR4.
- * Micah Parsons’ continued impersonation of a Category 5 natural disaster, casually rearranging Detroit’s offensive line.
- * Defensive scheming sorcery, including one play where Parsons dropped into coverage just to emotionally confuse the Lions.
- * The Bears preview, full of hope, fear, and the desperate wish that Keisean Nixon doesn’t commit a penalty so horrific it becomes a federal incident.
Then the episode dives into another chaotic round of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Picks, complete with bold predictions, broken logic, and Dave’s weekly segment: Things the Packers Should Do That They Absolutely Never Will.
Finally, the inbox explodes with Thanksgiving limericks, pastor-approved gratitude lists, Klaus’s poetry from Norway, and a poem from a five-year-old that is—frankly—smarter and kinder than 98% of Packers Twitter.
It’s classic Packers Therapy: part football analysis, part emotional processing, part accidental philosophy seminar, part carnival sideshow.
And after sweeping the Lions?
The boys are feeling dangerous.

Posting its first show in 2005, Packers Therapy is the longest-running Packers podcast on the Internet. Hosts Chris and Dave began the show as a way of capturing the spirited chats the two co-workers had about the team around the office. The two have no pretense about being experts: they are just two opinionated shareholders who love the team, follow it closely, but don’t always see the Packers fortunes eye to eye.
The guys encourage comments and questions via their Twitter feed @PackersTherapy or email to packerstherapy@yahoo.com and read and respond to as many as they can during each show.
