Well… Alright Then: Packers–Cowboys ends 40–40 | LempsTalkinPack #221

from Packers Talk · host Chris Lempesis

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer Room after a game that somehow landed on 40–40 and just… stopped. Well… alright then.He opens with the final minute of overtime—where the clock turned into Green Bay’s clumsiest opponent—and talks through what Matt LaFleur and Jordan Love did (and didn’t) do with timeouts, tempo, and play calls inside the Dallas 12. From there, Chris gets into the bigger theme of the night: no complimentary football. The offense came to play—Love dropping dimes, Josh Jacobs and Emmanuel Wilson running angry, Tucker Kraft and Romeo Doubs making money catches—while the defense and special teams packed a rollercoaster and forgot the seatbelts.You’ll hear:Why that late sequence felt like playing for a tie, and how to fix the two-minute/OT operation so it never looks that sleepy again.The good stuff on offense: Love’s poise, the quick game finally humming, Jacobs’ second-half juice, Wilson’s spark, and why Kraft needs 7–8 targets minimum.The bad stuff on defense: a quiet pass rush against a patchwork Dallas line, soft zones that turned into explosives, and tackling that made you say words you shouldn’t say around kids.Special teams (deep sigh): the blocked PAT swing, return-lane leaks, and the case for big changes during the bye.A sampler of listener questions from Twitter, BlueSky, Facebook, and email—straight-shooting answers included, with a few folksy jokes to take the edge off.It’s cathartic, fiery, and very Packers Nation—a tie that feels like a lesson. Grab a beer and settle in while we try to make sense of the weirdest Sunday Night Football ending you’ll see in a while.You can follow Chris on twitter at LempsMKE (@ItsJustChrisNow)LempsTalkingPack is a part of the Packers Talk family of podcasts, serving up enough weekly podcasts to satisfy the most fervent of Packer fans.

Humanizing Change Tremendousness Join us each episode as we talk with innovators in their respective fields about their unique journeys and how they humanize change in their own work, right here, on Humanizing Change. AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
