Our beloved Green Bay Packers blew up like the Hindenburg at Lambeau Field on Sunday, falling to the Giants 37-20 in the Divisional Round of the 2011-2012 Playoffs.
Truly, it was a spectacular failure, and quite possibly the worst Packers playoff game in history. Donald Driver wins the final “Hero” award of the season, as it seems he was the only one on the field in Green and Gold who showed up with the will to win.
This is a hard one to digest, friends, but Metz and Shep soldier on for one more episode to bring you their thoughts on the abrupt end to what was an otherwise phenomenal year of celebration.
We hope you enjoyed listening to Titletown Today this season, because we had a lot of fun putting it together. Stay tuned to LombardiUnderground.com because Metz and Shep aren’t finished. We will be back, bigger and better, and even more confident that the Packers are going to win the Superbowl.
Thank you so much for listening, Packer Nation, for all your support, and for being the best football fans in the world.

In a stunning regular-season finale at Lambeau Field on New Year’s Day, Matt Flynn passed for an insane 480 yards, completed 31 of 44 passes, and piled up an even crazier 6 touchdowns. Officially, the best single-game performance by a Green Bay quarterback ever, and it wasn’t even AR-12 at the helm. Wait, really? It’s painfully obvious at this point that #10 could be a tremendous asset this offseason, but here at Titletown Today we hope he will wear the Green and Gold jersey for just awhile longer.
Hey, the PACK is now undefeated in 2012! Epic.
Gratz to Bruce Risk, winner at 11-5 for the final week of our Titletown Picks. Gratz again to Bruce Risk for dominating the picks all season long, claiming the moniker of the FIRST EVER Titletown Picks Champion. Thanks to everyone for playing along with us.

The 2011 season is over for 20 teams and all their fans, but the Packers are not among those on the outside looking in, and so Titletown Today soldiers on as well. There won’t be a Packers game next week, but stay tuned to LombardiUnderground.com anyway, because Metz and Shep may have a few things to say next week as we count the hours towards the divisional round.

The (14-1) Green Bay Packers finished off the Bears 2011 playoff chances on the arm of AR-12, who threw for 5 touchdowns and locked up the #1 seed for themselves in the bargain, with the score 35-21 on Christmas Day. HO-HO-HOMEFIELD ADVANTAGE!
This episode of Titletown Today is dedicated to Kyle, who just returned home from his deployment in the Middle East. He may be a Chicago Bears fan, but we’re very happy he made it home safely for the holidays. It’s because of the men and women like him who serve in the Armed Forces of the United States of America that we are all free to enjoy things like football. So, from both of us at Titletown Today, we would like to send a very special ‘Thank You’ to him and to all the service men and women of our nations’ military.
Gratz to Bruce Risk, winner by default of the Titletown Picks for week 16, tied with Shep at 12-4. The very last week of the Regular season is upon us, so we will be posting the overall season winner soon. Nothing official yet, but Titletown Today may have a special competition lined up for the postseason, too, so stay tuned for more.

This episode is rated “pg” for family-friendly Bear-Bashing (though, shockingly, (and this is rather out of character for Metz and Shep), we didn’t really do much of that. Oh well, we’ll make up for this oversight with an extended cut of “The Bears Still Suck” for your listening pleasure to close out the show this week.

It’s Over, It’s Over, It’s Over…
The Green Bay Packers beat themselves 19-14 at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, ending their epic run on history in an unbelievable upset. I’m still not convinced I ever woke up on Sunday. Yes, in just a few more hours this bad dream will end; I will wake up in Oklahoma City, toss my bags in the car and set out East on I-44 for Illinois. I’ll set the cruise control for a comfortable 80 mph, and come noon I’ll tune into the game on AM Radio and listen with elation, counting down the miles through Missouri as the Packers dominate the Chiefs for 60 great football minutes.

What’s on tap from Metz and Shep?

Second, The Green Bay Packers put down the Lions at the Detroit City Zoo on Thanksgivingwinning the historic holiday match-up 37-15 And really, the Lions only scored their 15 AFTER the Packer’s D had already checked out of the hotel.

On this Special Bye-Week Edition of Titletown Today, Metz and Shep talk about 16-0.
Since 1970, Week 8 is the most common week for the season’s last undefeated team(s) to lose their first game of the season;it has happened 9 times. Week 8 for the 7-0 Packers in San Diego was earmarked as early as September by many fans as the first major test of the 2011 Packers season. Statistically speaking, the Packers are more than a little likely to fall short in the next few weeks… Or are they? I for one can’t wait to see what happens. It can’t be denied: the best football of the season is yet to come.
Congratulations to Jon “P-I-DoublejiZee” Piszczek, Titletown Picks Winner for week 7.
