  2PM: Can the Packers Stop the Losing Streak? LaFleur Has Something to Prove & the O-Line MUST Respond

  Sep 18, 202647 min

  The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust turns the page toward Packers-Jets and asks the question hanging over Green Bay: can this really happen again? Kyle admits another loss is possible after the offensive line’s disastrous opener, but says a repeat performance would force serious questions about Luke Butkus and the entire operation. Josh DiMaggio joins the conversation and actually picks the Jets, leaving Kyle to declare that he’s going down with the Packers ship rather than abandoning them after one game. The guys also debate whether Matt LaFleur can do anything Sunday to change how Packers fans view him. Kyle says simply beating the Jets won’t earn LaFleur any extra credit after Green Bay’s six-game losing streak and repeated inability to finish games. The expectation is to win, protect Jordan Love and prove the Week 1 collapse didn’t expose problems that will define the entire season. Plus, Kyle delivers the pregame speech he wishes LaFleur would give the Packers, while Sean Rhyan keeps his actual message much simpler: protect Jordan Love and move the ball. After Love was hit 18 times against Minnesota, Kyle wants to see Green Bay’s offensive line respond with some attitude and finally show an edge against the Jets.

  3PM: Packers-Jets Burning Questions: Can the O-Line Survive & Will Jordan Love Save the Day?

  Sep 18, 202643 min

  The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust puts the guys on the record with their five biggest questions entering Packers-Jets. Can Trey Smack handle potentially ugly kicking conditions? Will Green Bay’s offensive line actually hold up? Kyle predicts Jordan Love will take fewer than 10 hits and believes the protection will at least be good enough to win, while Ben remains unconvinced. The guys also expect changes up front, with Kyle predicting Aaron Banks and Anthony Belton will become the new starting guards. Then comes the most important question: will Kyle still be in “Packers psychosis” on Monday? Ben bets Kyle $20 on Green Bay failing to cover the 3.5-point spread, adding another layer of potential pain to a game Kyle insists the Packers desperately need to win. Rain could complicate matters even further, especially with Green Bay struggling to run the football while the Jets feature Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. Plus, Guess Who? revisits Kyle’s wildest comments from a week spent processing the Packers’ sixth straight loss, from blaming Green Bay’s offensive-line development on seemingly everybody to explaining why Ben secretly enjoys watching him suffer. And yes, that infamous “Baby, I can’t right now” clip makes another appearance.

  4PM: Packers-Jets Predictions, Can Green Bay Beat the Blitz & Kyle Guarantees a Bounce Back

  Sep 18, 202644 min

  The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust puts the final bow on Packers-Jets week as Kyle tries to convince everyone that Green Bay is ready to turn the page. He still has plenty of faith in Jordan Love and the defense, but admits the offensive line remains the giant flashing warning light. If that group can simply become functional, Kyle believes the Packers have enough everywhere else to get their season back on track. Then it’s time for Green Bay Props & Preview. The guys debate Marshawn Lloyd’s rushing production, whether the Packers can hold the Jets under 20.5 points, which of Green Bay’s four primary receiving weapons will top 3.5 catches and whether Jordan Love can avoid becoming the first quarterback intercepted by the Jets since January 2025. With rain potentially impacting the game, Ben expects a low-scoring fight and even wonders whether overtime could be lurking. Finally, Kyle plants his flag: Packers 27, Jets 14. He predicts Jonathan Gannon’s defense will shut down the Jets’ rushing attack, pressure Geno Smith and create turnovers, while Matt LaFleur and the offense finally find answers for the blitz. Most importantly, Kyle takes the under on Jordan Love getting hit 9.5 times after the beating he endured against Minnesota. If he’s wrong, Monday could get radioactive.

  2PM: Can the Packers FINALLY Finish? LaFleur’s Troubling Trend & Jordan Love Still Believes

  Sep 17, 202648 min

  The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust begins with Kyle Wallace attempting to recover from what he calls “Packers-induced psychosis” after Green Bay’s sixth straight loss. From the mysterious basement mouse to literally questioning his own shadow, Ben wonders whether a win over the Jets is the only thing capable of returning Kyle to normal. Then the guys uncover another troubling Matt LaFleur trend: since the start of last season, Green Bay is just 7-5 in games in which it has held a nine-point lead, while the rest of the NFL wins in that situation at a 95% rate. Kyle questions how an offseason built around “finishing” and stripping the offense “down to the studs” immediately produced many of the same problems, and argues the Packers need more than a win against the Jets. They need to impose their will and prove they can finally put an opponent away. Plus, Jordan Love expresses confidence that the offensive line will bounce back, and Kyle finds some reasons for optimism in an offense that produced seven plays of 20-plus yards, 147 receiving yards from Christian Watson and nearly 100 from Matthew Golden. And Over/Under tests Kyle and Ben on the last Packers offensive linemen to earn All-Pro honors, providing a painful reminder of how far Green Bay’s once-dominant line has fallen.

  3PM: Packers’ Championship Window, Badgers Fans Have Had Enough & O-Line Changes Are Coming

  Sep 17, 202642 min

  The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust reacts to Chris Canty questioning whether a loss to the Jets could close the Packers’ championship window. Kyle and Ben push back, arguing that Jordan Love isn’t the problem and that a core featuring Love, Tucker Kraft, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Micah Parsons gives Green Bay a much longer runway. But Sunday could tell us whether the Packers need to completely rethink an offensive line that put Love under constant pressure in Week 1. Then the conversation turns to Madison after Barry Alvarez says Wisconsin students have a responsibility to help restore Camp Randall’s intimidating atmosphere. Kyle and Ben disagree, arguing that the Badgers have to give students a reason to show up by winning meaningful games and rebuilding excitement around a program that has struggled under Luke Fickell. Jason Wilde joins the show with the latest on Green Bay’s search for offensive-line answers, including the addition of veteran Cordell Volson and the possibility of Jagger Burton or Anthony Belton entering the starting lineup. Wilde also explains why he doesn’t believe Matt LaFleur and Adam Stenavich are actually disconnected and shares the story behind Jayden Reed comparing Jordan Love’s fadeaway throws under pressure to Kobe Bryant’s signature jumper.
