Ty & Bob Pod S5 E5: State of the Packers with Tom Silverstein

There’s been some good, some bad and a touch of ugly. But here are the Green Bay Packers, at 3-2, with hope renewed off a 31-7 clubbing of the Chicago Bears. With co-host Bob McGinn on vacation, Tom Silverstein joins me this week. Thirty-eight years on the beat strong, “Spoon” continues to analyze and cover this team with the sharpest eye. Follow all of his work at PackersNews.com . We examine what went right at Lambeau Field vs. Chicago and try to figure out where the season goes from here for Matt LaFleur’s team. Is Silverstein confident what we saw in this game is sustainable? Instead of…

Peter King, ‘The Game’ and a life at the eye of the pro football storm
All of us, in some form or fashion, grew up on Peter King. His coverage has been synonymous with pro football itself. Now, he’s got a new book hitting the shelves: “The Game” is available for purchase everywhere you get hardcover, Kindle or audiobooks. Peter became the standard for taking fans places they could not go. “The Game” is far more than a collection of old stories, too. It’s packed with fresh reporting and stories you’ve never heard before. Loved welcoming a friend onto the Go Long Podcast here. He’s insightful, entertaining, a timeless true titan in the industry. We get into…

Sicko mode, engaged: On Josh Allen’s fight, Tyler Bass, James Cook & a stammering Bills D in 37-34 OT thriller
Pour a fifth cup of coffee, all. This hair-raiser was worth the midnight adrenaline rush. Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford are the two most recent MVP winners. So I suppose there was never any doubt they’d eventually swap TD for TD for TD in a Monday Night Football classic. Buffalo prevailed in overtime, 37-34, thanks to Greg Rousseau’s blocked kick and Allen’s legs. The Bills are 4-1. As Allen told Go Long : “I’m going to play football how I know how to play it until I can’t.” He brought those words to life in this one. The Bills, of course, also have some major issues. Stafford (383 yards,…

Real Football: Jalen Hurts flops, Josh Allen YOLOs, Packers’ reckoning & requiem for Terry Fontenot’s Falcons build
NFL Jalen Hurts is College Tim Tebow in the best and worst ways. (Allow Jim Monos to explain.) Josh Allen’s late-game interception was a colossal fail, a rookie mistake… but no. Joe Brady should not send him to the chalkboard to write “I Will Not Throw Into Double Coverage” 100 times. As the Bills QB told Go Long , he isn’t going to change his play style. We examine the QB-HC dynamic. Buffalo’s Defense. There are issues in the secondary. Maxwell Hairston wanted no smoke with the game on the line. Next up: the Los Angeles Rams. Hey, what about those Atlanta Falcons? A year ago, I sat down in…

Ty & Bob Pod S5 E4: It’s Packers-Bears Week
They meet again. A year ago, the Chicago Bears stunned the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field. (Packers sources explain what happened here. ) Since then? Ben Johnson continues to build a machine of a rushing attack and win with both No. 2 (Tyson Bagent) and No. 3 (Case Keenum) quarterbacks. Matt LaFleur has the Packers at 2-2 after squeaking past winless Tampa Bay. This may be the most important regular-season game of LaFleur’s eight-year tenure. Green Bay’s season could realistically take a very hard turn either direction Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field. Here on the “Ty & Bob Pod,” we…

How Andrew Brandt makes all of us “Smarter About Sports”
His stories are endless. Andrew Brandt has lived it all in pro sports. As a sports agent. As a Green Bay Packers executive. As a member of sports media. Even as the GM of the Barcelona Dragons. We all know so much more about how the NFL works because of his voice, his ability to articulate complicated stuff to the masses. Now, Brandt has documented his journey for us all to read. “Smarter About Sports: My Life Navigating Athletes, Agents, Media, and the Business of the NFL” is available everywhere books are sold . Be sure to add Brandt’s book to your library today. It’s excellent. Here on…

Real Football: 2024 Quarterback Class, revisited
Six teams placed six high-stakes bets on April 25, 2024. It’s now Year 3 for all six quarterbacks. With Drake Maye’s mind-boggling struggles, injuries to Caleb Williams/Jayden Daniels, more Bo Nix fourth-quarter magic, the J.J. McCarthy trade and Michael Penix’s return from another ACL, I thought it was a perfect time to discuss the 2024 quarterback class in full here on Real Football with co-host Jim Monos. All QBs can still veer all possible directions. We start in Foxborough where Maye’s career arc is particularly shocking. Last season, he nearly won MVP. The North Carolina product zapped…

The full two-hour, five-minute episode is available to Go Long paid subscribers above. If you prefer to listen on Apple or Overcast, bang it here to sync your subscription. Instructions on syncing on Spotify are also here . Case Keenum defied the odds on Monday Night Football, shredding the Philadelphia Eagles for 247 yards on 24-of-34 passing with two touchdowns and no turnovers and no sacks. How did he do it? Our Bob McGinn details on this episode of the Ty & Bob Pod. Also, Ben Johnson must’ve enjoyed seeing a quarterback operate with such timing. This 27-7 dismantlement could have the…

Bills-Chargers: Zero apologies necessary for Joe Brady and co.
Offensively, it was ugly. Five turnovers could’ve doomed the Buffalo Bills. But defensively? This is the sort of victory Joe Brady loves to see this time of year. Some teams fold when everything starts going wrong. ( Hello, Matt LaFleur. ) Other teams treat the football like a hot potato and still find a way. Here’s a quick recap on the Bills’ 24-16 win over the Chargers. The last time Buffalo won a game despite committing five turnovers? That’d be against the Jim Harbaugh-quarterbacked Indianapolis Colts in 1997. Oh boy, does Harbaugh have his work cut out for him with these 0-3 Chargers.…

The Jermichael Finley Conversation
One moment, Jermichael Finley is dreaming of championships and a gold jacket. The Green Bay Packers tight end truly believed he was turning a corner. The next? He’s motionless. He’s told he may never walk again and starts imagining a life of eating through a straw. Football can be cruel. His life completely changed in one split-second. Thirteen years later, Jermichael Finley tears open those old wounds right here on the Go Long Podcast. Back in my days covering the team at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, I got to know Finley the player and the person . There simply weren’t tight ends…

Ty & Bob Pod S5 E2: What makes this Minnesota Vikings defense so damn ruthless?
This Vikings-Bears game at Soldier Field was everything everyone should love about football — hard hitting, inclement weather, every inch was earned. Here on the Ty & Bob Pod, we dissect it all. Two games in, the Minnesota Vikings should be feeling damn good about themselves, too. Brian Flores has his unit hunting , and the defensive coordinator is armed with an ascending star in edge rusher Dallas Turner. So, what makes this blitz-happy Vikings defense unlike any other? McGinn has studied the film (as only he can) and I’ve spent some time around the personalities who make this defense go.…

Bills-Lions Aftermath: Josh Allen ‘n Joe Brady are a wagon on offense, so... what about that D?
What a night it was at Highmark. The Buffalo Bills authored a storybook inaugural game against the Detroit Lions with, of course, Josh Allen taking centerstage. Here’s my column from the 41-31 win . This “lunatic” of a quarterback with a smelling salt hanging from his mouth is playing more free than ever. (And he’s not alone.) And, icymi, here’s our story off an exclusive 1 on 1 with owner Terry Pegula. He details why football always needed to stay in Western New York. “The Bills are here. The Sabres are here. And they’re going to stay here.” In addition to our two main podcasts — “Real…

Real Football: Is Patrick Mahomes BACK?!
I believe it’s illegal in at least 27 states to publicly doubt Patrick Mahomes. He has earned that right. He was a central the-one-that-got-away figure in our first story ever at Go Long. There’s a strong case to make that Mahomes is the best quarterback ever this side of Tom Brady. The Kansas City Chiefs star has captivated us all with a magic to his game . Yet, last season, Mahomes posted career lows across the board and the Chiefs missed the playoffs. In my piece on C.J. Stroud and the gnarly Texans defense , sources detailed the team’s blueprint vs. Mahomes — one that Philadelphia used…

Substack Live! Previewing Bills-Texans with Jay Skurski…
Greetings from Orchard Park! I’ll be getting on a plane to Minneapolis Friday AM for Packers-Vikings. But first? Let’s talk some Bills-Texans with Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News. It’ll be an AFC heavyweight fight at Reliant Stadium… a place that’s been a house of horrors for Josh Allen. What changes in 2026? We discuss the matchup and the identity of the Bills here on a quick Substack Live video. This Texans defense is a different animal, as we learned. Now, Joe Brady takes charge. His boss, Brandon Beane, certainly understands the stakes of this season. Also: Keep an eye out for an…

Glover Quin on a wild decade in pro football
He played for two teams with Super Bowl aspirations this 2026 NFL Season — Houston and Detroit. Glover Quin’s rise from the boondocks of Mississippi to NFL All-Pro is instructive for players, too. This week on the Go Long Pod, I catch up with one of the best safeties in recent memory. Quin spent four seasons with the Texans and six with the Lions in starting 148 straight games. His best season, hands down, came in 2014. That playoff year in Detroit, Quin picked off an NFL-high seven passes. He guides us through them all. Many war stories are shared. (Once, Quin caught three picks with a cast…

New head coach, new vibes, a title for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens?
After 18 years of John Harbaugh, it was time. The Jesse Minter Era is here for the Baltimore Ravens. We drove down to Maryland to sit down with “Big John” Simpson — that feature is here , icymi. Is this the season Lamar Jackson finally gets to a Super Bowl? To get more answers, let’s welcome on a new guest: Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun . Wacker recently penned this excellent story on new Ravens OC Declan Doyle. We dig into everything here on the Go Long Pod. * Minter’s voice, and why it was needed. * What’s new on defense? (A lot!) * How is Doyle coaching Jackson? His attention to…

Real Football: AFC Kings... who goes the distance?!
We’ve got a packed episode of Real Football for you this week. Jim Monos will be with me all season long. The longtime NFL personnel man always brings A+ stories from his years in the league with the Eagles, Saints and Bills. This week, we try to figure out who’ll represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Topics include: * We must start with Jed York and the prostitution sting that made all of us throw up in our mouths. * Deshaun Watson is QB1 in Cleveland . Shedeur Sanders stinks. What do we make of the Browns? * The Buffalo Bills. Monos — the team’s former director of personnel — has some real…

‘Just Give Me A Chance to Fail:’ A chat with Paul Domowitch on his Sam Mills biography
Always love welcoming authors onto the Go Long Podcast to discuss their passion projects. I think you’ll be eager to read this book after listening, too. Longtime NFL reporter Paul Domowitch is the author of “Just Give Me a Chance: The Life of NFL Hall of Fame Linebacker Sam Mills.” Mills is one the true all-time greats and his rise to football stardom is littered with people who didn’t believe someone who stood 5-foot-9 could ever play linebacker. Domowitch spoke to 80+ people for this book, which you can purchase right here on Amazon . There are numbers to study. At linebacker, Mills…

Substack Live: Are the Detroit Lions built to win it all?
They’re the cute underdogs no more. The time to reach the Super Bowl is now for the Detroit Lions. This week, we’ve got a piece on Tate Ratledge — a man who represents the cutthroat nature of the sport itself. Thanks to all who’ve subscribed, read and shared. Ratledge opened up on the night that changed his life and much more. With Lions on the brain, I thought we were due to hit record on a Substack Live with our friend Justin Rogers of The Detroit Football Network. Ratledge put the championship expectations perfectly in our chat: “What’s known doesn’t have to be talked about. Why are you…

Happy Hour Replay: Doug Whaley on UFL’s growth, Sammy Watkins & the Buffalo Bills/Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 hopes
Good morning! We’ve got a fresh Happy Hour Replay for you. This week, subscribers had the chance to ask a former NFL general manager questions. Doug Whaley oversaw the Buffalo Bills as GM from May 2013 through May 2017. Before Buffalo, he spent a decade on the Pittsburgh Steelers scouting staff and earned a pair of Super Bowl rings. Since Buffalo, he’s helped build the UFL into a viable league as the senior vice president of personnel. Loved welcoming Whaley back on the show. Much was gleaned. He explains why the UFL is working and answers a string of excellent questions on how best to…

Secret to winning a title? Jordan Poyer & Christopher August reveal...
Jordan Poyer was in a very dark place. Jordan Poyer got to the other side. Last season, the longtime Buffalo Bills safety opened up on it all . Alcohol addiction. Pain pills. A teammate nearly dying on the field. Countless injuries. Playoff heartbreak. All of it took a debilitating toll on Poyer. Yet, he plowed ahead at one speed because that’s all he knows. He was able to survive — and thrive — by getting in touch with mind, body and soul. You leave a conversation with Poyer determined to change your own life.

Let's get inside the mind of Joe Burrow
This is the year Joe Burrow stays healthy and his defense isn’t steaming-hot junk. It’s got to be. Finally. Right? Right!?! Hotdiggity did Burrow’s somber press conference on his 29th birthday harken back to Andrew Luck’s abrupt retirement. He looked and sounded defeated. Now, Joe Cool is completely rejuvenated — and for good reason. Cincinnati busted out the checkbook and got itself a defense this offseason. Boye Mafe. Bryan Cook. Dexter Lawrence. Unlike summers past, the vibes are damn good. So, let’s get our pal Paul Dehner Jr. on the horn. A recurring guest on the Go Long Podcast, Paul…

We study what led to this all and where it’s going. * Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams enter Year 2 together, and the Bears coach is talking a big game. Can this offense light it up? They may need to with a big injury hitting the defense. * The heat should be on Matt LaFleur to get it done in his eighth year as the Packers head coach. Brian Gutekunst has done his…

'K1' is the new QB1 in Minnesota
Good morn! Hey, it’s Kyler Time. The Minnesota Vikings announced this week that Kyler Murray is their starting quarterback.

The Kyler Project, a two-part series, is live for paid subscribers. Part I takes a close look at Michael Bidwill, Marvin Harrison Jr. and all grime in Arizona, as well as J.J. McCarthy. Where did things go wrong for the QB selected to be the franchise guy in ‘24? Teammates had much to say. Keep an eye out for Part II this morning. We gaze…

Ahman Green has a new battle to fight
Football’s back, y’all. A beautiful thing. On the podcast, I catch up with the Green Bay Packers’ all-time leading rusher: Ahman Green. The episode’s off ‘n running with Green detailing life post-NFL. He’s doing everything in his power to maintain a healthy lifestyle — and for good reason. Green opens up on a new opponent that could prove more daunting than anything he experienced on the field: Parkinson’s. But he’s not scared. Of course, we also look back to his fondest Packers memories. Green had six 1,000-yard rushing seasons in Green Bay. In 2003, he eclipsed 2K scrimmage yards. What…
