He’s a Cowboy, I think? Lol, it's late for me! Preston Smith

Honest question, is Alton Smith still a Packer?

Ahem.... Did you predict Tonyan would be a good TE, I'm not sure?

We'll see a ton of Dillon tonight if they go up 30-3 or so.

Looks like the team quit on him already, may as well.

To be fair, you could probably track down Ed West and he could catch a few passes agaist this secondary.

Go for 1 here, too early chasing points going for 2.

Going back to ATL's goal line stand, I would have liked 4 passes there. Probably would score on the 1st throw anyhow. They had their secondary all kinds of confused, I just thought they would have scored easily.

Need a post from Fatter than Joey and two live brew. And High Heat. I need to hear a really good trade right now.

Need to steal a base here, need to take some risk.

And Suter.

I hate these injuries where I missed he was even hurt at all, and boom out for the season.

Sure looks like Buehler has liquid bandaid or something on his blister. I didn't think anything of it, but if you guys are saying that's not legal then it's the story of the game isn't it?

Yelich, Cain, and Hiura. We're getting half the expected production from our 3 best hitters. That will kill your lineup, and it's not going to be an easy fix if that continues next year regardless of any moves they make.

Lauer's past success vs Dodgers is why it's coming up.

I'd agree with that sentiment being a big part too. I think I mentioned something similar in a recent post on people dipping their toes in a bit more and living more, and its tough to blame them/us after this long. Which is really the way we were told it was supposed to work. Flatten the curve, then get back to work and most other activities. In a modified way, sure, and that's where some of the debate lies. But we knew all along the virus would still be out there in full force, but states have now had 6 months to prepare, and there's plenty of testing available. We can talk about masks for 10 more pages, and we probably will. Yet we all know even best case, masks have a marginal positive effect. What bothers me at this point is the biggest problem is still the problem. People who go out knowingly having Covid, or have symptoms and go out without getting tested and staying home until results come back negative. That is the message that should be hammered home, yet you really don't hear it much. I'm guessing it's because it's obvious, unfortunately it's not obvious to those who are ignoring it. We still don't have enough information to know if asymptomatic people are significant spreaders, but we definitely know symptomatic people are.

Brewers jump out to 5-0 lead, so they can push it a bit and get 7 out of Suter/Peralta, then finish up with Claudio/Rasmussen/Yardley. Brewers win 6-3. Game 2, Woodruff/Williams/Hader. Brewers win 3-2.

Maybe. I was at the Meadowlands when they played the Packers and I saw the arm strength, pocket awareness, feet. It's really hard to evaluate a QB when they're in a horrible situation like he's in. That said, I don't think they pass on Lawrence, nor would any of the other contenders for the #1 pick.

I don't think they could be as crappy as the Jets if they tried. Plus, many Viking fans told me Cousins was the answer, so that must mean they would teade the pick anyhow.

Maybe the World Series if you are a wishful thinker. The way they described it wasn't promising. Those strains can easily knock someone out well over a month if bad enough. Woodruff missed 6 weeks last year I believe. I would guess he wouldn't be available for at least 4 weeks post injury and at that point he would need to regain pitching strength. Thanks! I am a wishful thinker, at least when I'm in the optimism thread. I know obliques can be tough, but you're saying there's a chance.

Is Burnes out for the season, or could he be available for the NLCS or WS?

Those three plus Lewis...trying to recall if they suited up all 4 when they were all healthy, I think they did...seems like MLF has alot more read option or even misdirection plays in the offense utilizing multiple TE sets that have run action going one way with a TE darting across the formation to the opposite flat - if that weakside backer or safety gets caught looking at the run action Rodgers has the ability to pull the ball out and pick up a gimme 10-15 yards flipping it to the TE at will. I seem to remember similar types of plays with Graham running those routes last season hardly ever being effective. The would take way too long to develop because it would take Graham days to get across the formation (or on many occasions lining up on the weak side and putting less stress on the defense with little/no misdirection). Graham even in his prime was a TE much better suited to running seam routes - he had good straightline speed but he was never good at route running or playing laterally or relying on changes of direction to get himself open. Plus he was never a good blocker, so having him tight in a formation tended to bog things down more than anything. When you look at GB's skill WR/TE room, I'd say most all of them are really good run blockers for their position (Sternberger is probably an exception since he's a hybrid TE/WR who would be considered a poor blocker as strictly a TE). Being able to have a series of run/pass option plays with those personnel groupings and have balance makes playing defense against the Packers very difficult when Rodgers is playing well AND able to make line checks without fear of miscommunication since there is no crowds. I would pump the brakes a bit. Every catch by a TE was wide open, other than Big Dog's TD. Saints focused on MVS and the RBs, and never did adjust to that TE drag play. To their credit, Packers kept going back to it. Graham would have had no problem on those routes, it was all play design. That said, it's certainly a nice confidence boost for the young TEs, and you feel like if defenses ignore them it is another weapon now at least.

I'm a Wisc sports fan, I can't be expected to watch this osk.

who the flip is Garvin???
