  1. very weak sauce on that call
  2. thinking it's going to be a long day for both offenses, though. Going to be more turnovers in this game
  3. Walker is going to get Love killed, and he's getting beat on run downs, too. Just a thought - perhaps it's not the best idea to focus all of your runs and throws directed towards areas your backup LT has to be the focal blocking point.
  4. That's 100% on the ST unit (holder/kicker) - the kicker was taking ages to get himself set up for the attempt. Frankly I'd rather they not burn a timeout in that spot, so I don't know if MLF was aware of the clock running down or not. Just something that should never have to be worried about.
  5. great start...not how do you get a delay of game on a FG attempt in that spot?? On the heels of the backup LT putting that attempt over 50 yds with a false start penalty, no less...
  6. I will say it's gotten to the point where tackles are obviously getting a half second half start in their pass pro drops before the ball is snapped.
  7. Starting LT, RB, and #1 WR out for week 2, on the road. This will be tough sledding no matter what, hoping for any sort of a way to get a win, and defensive front needs to show up in a big way this afternoon!
  8. Honestly, if this is his intention, sitting out games that are on field turf, the Packers may as well look to trade Bakh before the deadline this season. It's frustrating enough for Packer skill position players to constantly have hamstring issues that wind up costing chunks of the season, but if it's gotten to the point where Bakh won't play on turf because of risk of reinjuring that knee I don't care how good he looks when playing sporadically - he's not reliable enough to be this team's starting left tackle, and he's likely as good as gone after this season anyway due to his 2024 cap # compared to what his dead cap # would be. Just a shame that the Packers got so little production out of him following that contract extension. And I'd add that even if Bakh sitting out today is due to a knee injury management issue and not just his preference of not playing on field turf - they just played a game on arguably the softest/slowest grass surface in the entire league at Soldier field in early September on perfect weather day - if Bakh can't go back to back weeks with 6 days' rest in between Sundays at the start of the season, then he truly is damaged goods and can't be relied on for any given game.
  9. The Brewers don't own the stadium or the land it sits on - so like it or not the current arrangement has to be a public/private partnership. if people want to get government out of ballpark financing in this instance, sell the land and park to the team for $1 and tell them theyre 100 % on the hook for any improvements along with property taxes and call it a day. The state would never do that, so its kind of foolish to expect a tenant to heavily finance renovations on something they don't own.
  10. Mr. Steele is now 40 IP over his previous high for a season. For a pre-arby starter in what is his 2nd full MLB season, that wouldn't be outside the norm...part of his maturation/development to take on that kind of increased workload. Then you see he's the same age as Corbin Burnes (28) 😲 , and wonder when his arm is going to fall off over one of his next 3-4 starts.
  11. It started with the playoff loss last season to the Giants...they had the mother of all horseshoes most of last season but this year's schedule and the fact they still have a very thin roster at key position groupings is going to make for very tough sledding this year. Some of that is the GM in his second year continuing a much-needed rebuild - but part of that is his own doing with a few poor high draft picks. They've got undrafted FA safeties and a Harrison Smith fossil playing safety over his 1st draft pick that has barely seen the field due to a poor 2022 start/broken leg/even worse 2023 training camp (Cine), and Ingram (2nd round 2022 draft) is probably their weakest starting OL. Their defensive scheme after two weeks seems like they know they have to blitz constantly to generate pressure (its either sending 5+ or faking a zero blitz and dropping 8 back into coverage on 3rd and long situations), and they hope the quarterback isn't good enough to gouge them. And not being able to stop the run when teams actually dedicate to it is going to lead to some bad time of possession team stats, because their offense is terrible at running the ball so far.
  12. Darrisaw is a damn good LT...when he's healthy enough to be on the field - however that is becoming an issue for the young man.
  13. Your garbage time production call proved very correct....although there's also some thursday night craziness going on, too. I don't think the Vikings can run the ball even against bad run defenses, so assuming Kirk doesn't get knocked out by blindside rusher through that sieve of an Oline, he's going to put up huge passing #s
  14. I don't see the Brewers needing to add untested prospects at the MLB to their 40 man roster the final couple weeks of this season - it just doesn't make much sense in terms of an organization that values years of team control and service clock management, particularly for position players. I though Gasser was the only non-40 man prospect that could see Milwaukee in September, and I think with how the rotation is rolling I doubt that happens, either (unless this stretch of games w/out offdays has the existing staff taxed due to overuse/injury between now and last week of September.) It is colorado, so any lead is unsafe...but at this point I can see the Cubs missing the playoffs altogether moreso than them taking the top wild card spot or even less likely making a run at the division. Their pen and pitching staff in general is on fumes right now...It would be gravy to have the division locked up headed into that last series and then also play a hand in knocking the Cubs out of the playoffs, too.
  15. Definite no on Cousins tomorrow night in Philly...Vikings in general have a brutal recent history there, and their Oline is not going to give their QB much time to do anything of significant fantasy value. I think it'd be a coinflip as to Mayfield or Jones putting up more fantasy points, but the Dolphins got abused in the run game last week so I'd probably lean towards Mayfield at home against what appears to be a pretty awful Bears team.
  16. This is all well and good and could obviously be done - but having to start that type of restructuring charade game even before exploring longterm extensions to some of their marquee young players on rookie deals is a tough way to maintain a quality NFL roster, particularly with a big longterm question at QB that's also going to pose a significant dead cap hit at some point in the next few seasons when Rodgers does formally retire or get cut. Those are the type of moves that get done when you've got a QB in his prime on a longterm deal secured for 4-5+ more seasons to maintain roster continuity - not on the heels of a 40 yr old QB recovering from a ruptured Achilles carrying a huge contract with him.
  17. As a Packer fan living in the MPLS area, I'm very much looking forward to watching the Vikings play on the road in Philly tomorrow night against that front 7....their O-line got exposed at home pretty significantly by a good Buccaneer front 7, but I think this could be one of those race to the QB type evenings and come Friday morning that 13-4 2022 record that included an unfathomable 11-0 record in 1 score games is going to look like ancient history.
  18. lol - yes, based on less than one MLB game, he's for sure in that conversation. Doyle just made a diving catch in center for the Rockies, so Andruw Jones and PCA might have some company on the Mt. Rushmore of defensive centerfielders. I'm sure he'll be a really good to great defensive player based on his skillset, but I've watched 10 minutes of the Cubs game tonight and I'm already incredibly annoyed by how much helium is being pumped into the hype train on a guy who looks like a young Eric Sogard physically because he ran down a couple gappers at Coors Field. He'll be yet another fun player to watch Cub fan expectations exceed onfield performance
  19. This also goes back to the end of the McCarthy era in Green Bay - when they insisted on playing with a sugar huddle-type tempo and keep the same offensive personnel on the field at all times and became incredibly predictable with their route trees and formations, likely because Rodgers fell in love with hunting for free plays when defenders were trying to substitute. McCarthy's strength as a playcaller early on (including the year the Packers won the super bowl) was putting a ton on film and having all sorts of personnel groupings/formations. Once Rodgers got to the level of veteran QB status who knew what all defenses were doing, he very likely handcuffed offensive creativity in effort to be the smartest guy on the field - and once their offensive personnel around him couldn't remain elite due to age or contract limitations of the roster they weren't good enough to make plays in the absence of game planning creativity. Instead it just turned into Rodgers waiting for plays to break down and try playing sandlot football all too often.
  20. I feel like Clark historically has been a slow starter in terms of onfield splash plays during the season, and as the season wears on he starts showing up more frequently. He can still dominate 1 on 1 blocks, but he's also 27 and been in the league 8 seasons already - that's a good amount of wear and tear on an interior DL at any age.
  21. The Jets defense played well last night and is very good indeed - but they actually forced zero of the 4 turnovers Allen was responsible for. DBs made good catches on balls thrown to them, sure - but had Allen not made three terrible throws into coverage that had zero chance of being completed or simply caught a shotgun snap, Buffalo probably scores at least 6 more points by default and the Jets wouldn't have received short fields that really helped account for 10 of their 16 points in regulation. Had Allen not played horrible and mistake-prone football, Buffalo wins that game by 10 even if they aren't that good. The Jets will really need to lean on their good defense again this year - if that unit remains near totally healthy like it did last season when they played against a last place schedule to the tune of a 7-10 record, then yeah they could probably stumble up the standings to finish near 0.500. I'm not buying it at this point, though.
  22. well, next season is also a distinct possibility if they don't get a massive haul for Burnes in an offseason trade
  23. But Wilson does lose the ball consistently. They've got Dallas, KC, Philly, and Chargers mixed in with New England, Denver, and the Giants over their next 7 games...will their defense find a way to win a couple of those games over the next 2 months? Probably, but I doubt all of those quarterbacks lay an egg the way Josh Allen did last night and gift the team 4 turnovers to give the Jets a shot to win a game with a punt return in Overtime.
  24. Yeah, for all the roses thrown Rodgers' way to restructure his deal in effort to get other players into the mix this season, it's the same story Packer fans have grown accustomed to for future seasons with extending present cap problems into the future. This is a complete and total disaster for the Jets in terms of longterm strength of their roster.
