The Homer Hour

The Homer Hour is LIVE on a Wednesday on ESPN Wisconsin. Rain Main featuring Mike in Franklin. Jason Wilde joins with the latest from Green Bay, including some notes of his conversations with Packers Defensive Coordinator Jeff Hafley and Safety Evan Williams. FOX6 Sports Director Tim Van Vooren joins the show to discuss Packers and Bears Part 2, the Packers defense without Micah Parsons, and more.

Homer and Missouri professor John Anderson revisit the Packers’ loss to the Broncos and debate whether a win on Saturday against the Bears would qualify as Green Bay’s best victory of the season. They compare this year’s Packers defense to last year’s unit and discuss whether the team’s Super Bowl hopes are fading. With Christian Watson sidelined or limited, they explore whether Matt LaFleur will lean more heavily on intermediate and short passing routes. The guys also predict the Packers’ record over their final three regular-season games. Packers reporter Jason Wilde joins with the latest from Titletown, and the show closes with a look at why Marquette has struggled this season.

Homer and former Packers offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga break down Green Bay’s tough loss to the Broncos in Denver, digging into the uphill battle the Packers now face with Micah Parsons sidelined for the season with a torn ACL. They dive into how the offense sputtered after Christian Watson left with an injury, hit on the “Three Pillars” of the matchup — including another standout performance from Josh Jacobs, the rising importance of Matthew Golden, and how a wave of injuries ultimately swung the game Denver’s way. ESPN Packers insider Rob Demovsky also jumps in with the latest out of Titletown and weighs in on whether the Packers can bounce back and take down the Bears on Saturday.

Homer and former Packers and Badgers running back Gary Ellerson break down what could be a Super Bowl preview as the Packers get set for Sunday’s showdown with the Broncos. They dive into the strategic chess match between Matt LaFleur and Vance Joseph, especially how Denver might try to double-team Christian Watson and what Green Bay can do to counter. Gary shares how his confidence in this Packers squad has grown compared to his preseason expectations. They also hit on whether Tucker Kraft’s injury has actually been less impactful than many thought, and if Gary’s surprised to see the Packers listed as favorites heading into the matchup. With Josh Jacobs’ status uncertain, the guys discuss whether Emmanuel Wilson can shoulder the load against Denver. Plus, they evaluate just how good Jordan Love has been, and The Fat Jack jumps in with his best bets for the football weekend.

Homer is rattled by a closed McDonald’s, but once he recovers, The Homer Hour locks in on Packers–Broncos with former Green Bay offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga and a visit from Packers insider Jason Wilde. The crew digs into how good this young Packers team really is, why their ceiling might be sky-high, and what December games like this reveal about playoff readiness. They break down Josh Jacobs’ knee situation, how Matt LaFleur has adjusted the run game to his personnel, why Denver’s defense is truly Super Bowl-caliber, and whether Jordan Love and Christian Watson can keep the offense humming in the altitude against the league’s top pass rush. Plus: what it’s like for players to trust young teammates in big moments, why coaching philosophy doesn’t really change as much as fans think, and whether this version of the Packers has the special pieces needed for a future Super Bowl run.
