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.
