    Soooooooo soooooooo close! And about eight months earlier than normal, too.

    Even with trackers in the ball to tell yardage we'd have the same kind of arguments over when a player was actually down on contact.

    With a RB's short lifespan it feels like right now is one season too early to start thinking about replacing Jones with another Jones-type back. So with Gute saying he likes the power compliment to Jones it seems the higher priority is either re-signing Dillon or finding a Dillon-type replacement. That also dismisses the idea of Wilson getting a bigger role in the offense, but I'm fine with that. Granted, for someone like Jonathan Taylor you can certainly toss everything else out the window.

    Couldn't agree more and even the eye test shows it. At the next halving we've always been 40% off the previous ATH, but I think it was yesterday we made it to within 16%. So who knows if that means the upcoming dip is big and knocks us back into reality or hopefully it's a harbinger of an absolute monster bull season to come. Though I'm still debating taking profits here, not so much for gas fees but slippage can make a trade pretty darn expensive. Makes me think I should have at least one asset strictly on Coinbase so I can count selling that in its entirety as taking profits on all the others but only pay that small fee.

    Crossing my fingers we'll get to see Braelon Allen in a Packers uniform. Gute has said he really likes having a big back behind Jones for the bad weather, so with Dillon as a FA, Allen would sure fit the bill.

    Maybe there's some room in the mid-rounds for a DT who has fallen some because he's great against the run but bad as a pass-rusher. We don't have any big need for an added all-downs star DT, but a two-down run-stopping specialist would be the ideal depth piece maybe without having to spend a 2nd rounder to get him.

    Am I crazy in thinking that two 1sts and two 2nds doesn't sound like the worst deal in the world to get Harrison? I really like the Quinyon Mitchell idea. He's gone from early 2nd to mid-1st in most mocks and I'd bet his combine will make him look even better. I otherwise like Fuaga as I understand he could play both G and T so that would add a ton of depth and flexibility we usually need.

    Had been a good bit frustrated that I pretty well stayed even through January and February. Probably not helped that a couple I nearly pulled the trigger on like Crown and GTAI went nuts. But I'm also just being impatient and there's always ones you miss. We've got our pre- or post-halving dip coming up but I'm not quite ready to start taking profits for that just yet. Really mindful of doing that more consistently this go-around. Kinda looking for another one or two to buy. I'm not really committed to the API3 I have. And I had a good amount of MintLayer for a while, but their social engagement seems about dead and that's enough for me to want out. Picked up some BCUT not long ago as an AI token at what seemed a decent dip on it especially since everything else had already gone off, so I guess we'll see about that. Otherwise excited for GPU.net, IO.net and Ready Games to have their token releases probably early Q2. Same for the individual games BloodLoop and Gunzilla Games.

    I'd like to defer to the LambeauLeap guys and ask what I should be thinking of Rasheed Walker. He seemed to click toward the end of the season, but was it enough that we could pencil him in as our starting LT next year or is he more a "capable backup" type player just yet? It seems the Packers like Myers for whatever reason and then it seems like every year there's questions of whether Tom will bulk up to play RT or if he's better off at guard. Overall I don't really know what to make of this offensive line and therefore what I should be rooting for come draft-time.

    Billichek will be fine once he has the GM role stripped from him. I figure someone will get fired mid-season and Billichek will be the first choice. Although really I can't figure why a 71-year-old guy would want to keep working in the NFL in the first place. I know someone who had a much smaller role with the Badgers who would put in 20-hour days and sometimes sleep in his office because there was so much work to do. How in the world can a 71-year-old guy keep up the kind of hours necessary to be a head coach?

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going.

    Some inside information tells me Leonhard turned down the GB job because he saw it as something of a "Superbowl or you're out" kind of situation and wasn't looking for that. That seems an understandable thought to somebody who would have been new to coaching in the NFL. We're just kinda used to NFL opportunities being so rare that people don't turn them down when they come along.
  13. GAME05
    The best strategy if you're not rich. Meanwhile the Brewers begin a long stretch like the Herb Kohl-era Bucks--don't be really bad because it costs too much money but you won't have the gas to be really good, either. Just try to get that last spot in the playoffs every year.
  14. GAME05
    I suspect this longer time to do something is because everyone wanted to try and extend him before trading for him. Probably could have gotten about the same return mid-season, but with the expanded playoffs you gotta really stink to be out of contention, and we'd have a fan revolt if we were within a couple games and he leaves. If you're gonna trade him at all it has to be now for the best you can get. Seems like a fair return to me for someone pretty certain to be a one-year rental. The short list of teams who can afford Burnes next year probably doesn't include Baltimore. Not many ++ shortstops out there and now we have trade-or-no-trade flexibility with Adames.
  15. GAME05
    If he ends up being good it's not like we could afford the giant extension, but in the years we do have him he'll probably be closer to his prime. His age is a plus to me.

    I have a house I rent from my employer. So instead of me just paying my utility bills directly, now they pay it for me, then I have to research how much they've paid, and then I have to pay it myself into the work computer which doesn't have any line-item for "employee utilities" and I don't really trust that they've seen I've actually paid it. So much better! And we're paying some outside company to do this all for us, too. I guess it's to monitor our use, but since I pay for my own use, what's it to them? My state also has a "Law Enforcement Special Supplement" which pays me money between retirement and age 62. It's called a "benefit" but I have to pay for it each month. For me, I'll be paying more into it than I get out of it. I don't understand how they can make this payment mandatory, like it's a forced-annuity or something. I'd like my $50,000 back and you can keep your "benefit".

    I never had the impression you were bashing anyone. To say you want a more experienced coach isn't any knock on Leonhard any one bit. Perfectly reasonable opinion. Leonhard on skill/ability alone would have been cut from the NFL two years in. He's always been a coach in a player's body. And Harbaugh being some kind of great coach says there probably isn't some huge scheming difference between the two levels. I like that Leonhard would bring in a lot of new ideas and unique packages and wouldn't be what we keep seeing from coordinators--the sort of plays that the other team yells out because they know what's coming. Plus playoffs or no this is still a pretty young team that can afford to take a bigger risk on a coordinator. We're still kinda-sorta in that rebuilding stage. Adding to it the lifespan of a defensive coordinator is 2.6 years, so not too long to begin with. But in Leonhard, if he's successful, we can maybe maybe maybe get a guy who just likes staying in Wisconsin and may stick around a good bit longer. Anybody else, if they're any good, is gone in two years.

    Packers have made enough mistakes not drafting Badgers players, starting with Troy Vincent. I'd like to not do the same with former Badger coaches. If he even wants the job, anyway.
  19. GAME05
    Chargers hired that head coach from Michigan.
  20. GAME05
    Yeah, you don't become a DC in the first place by being bad at lower levels. I'm perfectly happy with him taking a lesser job, which he'd be doing with any other team, so why not in GB? I don't see him being any threat at all to the new DC. Any coordinator is going to have about everyone below them vying for their job. If anything, Barry below you is less of a threat as anyone else since it's not like he'd be getting re-promoted to the DC spot anytime soon. Biggest offseason need taken care of already!

    Love will force it anywhere when he thinks he absolutely has to complete a pass. Nobody close to open and it was a prayer of a pass when one wasn't needed yet. But ultimately this was 4th and 1, and too many field goals inside the 20.
  22. GAME05
    So it's not all bad.
  23. GAME05
    Fun while it lasted.
  24. GAME05
    Rodgers only needed 37 seconds.
  25. GAME05
    This is just setting up an even more epic Love performance, right?
