4PM: Packers Reset Expectations, Bulaga Calls Falcons Loss “UNACCEPTABLE” & Miz Makes History

The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust forces Kyle to officially reset his Packers expectations after entering the season predicting 12 wins and an NFC Championship Game appearance. After a 1-2 start, Kyle lowers the bar to nine wins and admits he wouldn’t pick Green Bay to make the playoffs based on what he’s seen so far. But there’s one giant variable: if veterans Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton can turn a historically bad offensive line into even an average unit, Kyle believes the entire outlook changes. The guys also give Jacob Misiorowski his flowers after a remarkable regular season. They run through the numbers behind Miz’s dominance, including a .157 batting average against, a 1.80 ERA and more than 1,100 pitches at 100-plus MPH. Kyle and Ben debate where the season belongs in Brewers history and how aggressively Milwaukee should deploy Miz once October arrives. Then Bryan Bulaga joins the show and pumps the brakes on expecting the Packers’ veteran additions to immediately save the line. Bulaga says improvement is possible, but learning a new system and building chemistry takes time. More importantly, he draws a line under what happened against Atlanta: “unacceptable.” Unlike Minnesota’s exotic pressure packages, Atlanta repeatedly created free rushers through breakdowns in communication and assignments, leaving Bulaga with no more excuses for what Green Bay put on the field.
