Listen "4PM: Packers Crush Commanders! Peaking or Finding the Ceiling?"

Episode Synopsis

The Green Bay Packers are 2-0 after dominating their second-straight opponent, beating the Washington Commanders, 27-18, at Lambeau Field! Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown for a Molly Victory Monday (on a Friday)! Molly opens the show after every Packers win this season so that we don't have to hear Jim's Packers negativity. But, the only negativity might be Molly's skepticism and some admitted nitpicking of the Packers' offense... With the defense looking THIS GOOD with the Micah Parsons effect (thanks Jerry), is Jordan Love finally being put in the best spot to succeed? They also discuss living up to the now lofty expectations, and is anyone worried about the idea of peaking too soon? Jason Wilde joins Jim & Molly to continue discussing Green Bay's commanding 27-18 win over Washington! They discuss the immense impact of Micah Parsons on this team and how much weight it takes off Jordan Love's shoulders. They also discuss whose bold prediction for the season is looking best right now, how's the vibe looking in the locker room and what's the outlook for the receiving room after Jayden Reed broke his collarbone. Also, would the Packers still be 2-0 if they hadn't traded for Micah Parsons, and why did Molly's face look so weird when she was enjoying Jason's hot-dog spot recommendation in Chicago earlier this week? Jim, Molly and producer Primetime recap their Don't Quote Me predictions for the show (did Dan Quinn hear Matt Hamilton's prediction), and they pick their LOCKS for their new Cover 5 show contest, inviting fans to show off their NFL knowledge against the show! Also, why are there so many grown men in Hawaiian shirts outside our building?
