  1. Glad they're at least on the board...need to score some TDs instead of self destructing in the red zone - which is the MO of the MLF offense against teams they should trounce
  2. If the Dodgers want him, he will be a Dodger....even if he's a better fit at 1st eventually, Freeman will eventually get old and he'll just slide over there a few seasons from now.
  3. I get it, but the Brewers have had a really well run front office for a decade, played in a division that hasn't had a huge disparity in payroll because the Cubs were borderline incompetent for a good chunk of this stretch, and still dont have a WS appearance to show for it....largely due to the Dodgers. Basically, having everything go perfectly for the Brewers has led to them winning nothing in October/November when it matters most.
  4. The economic imbalance in MLB has led to half the league being irrelevant no matter what they do. The Dodgers basically took the regular season off and slep-walked their way to a division title against teams besides the Rockies that spent beyond their means to try and "keep up with the Joneses". They'll be able to do the same thing over and over again. Their economic advantage over the rest of MLB allows them to pay the best player of all time $2M in real dollars per year through his prime in order to pay the rest of their all star team more, because shelling out $68M to a retiree 10 seasons from now for a decade will have zero impact on what they'll be able to afford for payroll in 2040. I honestly dont know how the rest of MLB can allow this to continue into the next CBA.
  5. Kudos to the Dodgers, for finding a way to win another World Series. I hate them, but oh well. Guessing they'll look at how close they came to losing this one and decide to spend some more money this offseason to shore up their roster. I've never been more excited at the state of the entire Brewers organization (majors + minors )than I presently am...that being said, I'd be willing to miss multiple seasons of baseball for MLB to enact meaningful change to their economic structure so the Dodgers cant just be penciled into the NLDS every season just because their TV deal hands them $350+ million a season.
  6. In retrospect, the Brewers' best hitters were onnthe verge of tearing a hamstring at any moment (Chourio) and flat out sucked (Yelich, Turang). A huge reason for the anemic Brewer offense from Game 3 of the NLDS on was that 3 of the top 4 hitters in most of their lineups werent the same hitters that fueled their offense most kf the regular season. When a handful of game stretch that stinks can end your season, these things really stand out.
  7. Yeah, and it didn't hurt that Love didn't get to the read in the red zone that would've been a walk in TD for Golden in the 4th quarter. He was dinged up...and he still is getting open. Key will be to keep him getting experience/comfortable as this season wears on -
  8. those 50-50 heaves Love threw to Kraft and Watson that resulted in huge Packer plays would've looked alot different had Steelers caught them though - the game swinged huge in the Packers' favor on both throws. I don't like how Love tends to backpedal to buy time on blitzes and then makes those kind of tosses downfield....but it was effective last night. What I did see more frequently last night was using play action to get Love to designed deep drops and hit some of those deep in-breaking routes on time that both Doubs and Watson excel at running. That's how their 2023 playoff demolition of Dallas looked. Oline blocked it up pretty well and when those guys can get into routes 15-20 yards downfield it opens everything up for RB swing passes and TE intermediate routes, too.
  9. This team could easily be 7-0 if not for some well-discussed nonsense against the Browns and Cowboys
  10. I wonder if "replay assist" is just what the booth official color guy says the call should be. Collinsworth has a point about replay assist being really randomly applied...especially on potential scoring plays. Ask Calvin Johnson if that was a TD or not
  11. Great play by Hopper on that 2 pt conversion
  12. Yeah, no timeouts for the steelers, so replay assist can still change that call with more than 2 minutes left?
  13. Love is unconscious right now
  14. The personnel grouping of Watson/golden/Doubs plus Kraft and then either Jacobs or Wilson in the backfield is a problem for defenses...Hopefully health holds and allows for that personnel to play alot together
  15. Best TE in the NFL....Tucker Kraft At least until Gadsen figures things out more for the Chargers
  16. Watson, Kraft, and Love having themselves a night
  17. These blitzes are leaving wide open outlets if Love finds them quick enough
  18. Lets march down and drop 8 points this drive
  19. The RB is right there (even though there was zero intent to complete it)
  20. Because the running back trying to block a lineman was right in his lap, by rule it is...but that rule sucks
  21. I get that by rule thats an incomplete pass....but that rule should be changed so that type of play becomes intentional grounding.
  22. Horrific tackling on that swing pass
  23. I think the days are long gone for when juggernaut teams just destroy everyone right from Week 1 in the NFL and ride that wave all season long - and a big part of that is how the game is played and 17 weeks of the season. Now it's about how you are playing in December and health - theres a blob of about 10 teams that could either peak at the right time or wind up 10-7 and get bounced in the 1st playoff round. I'd say the Packers are in the upper echelon of that blob and have plenty of room for improvement. They could also fall on their face instead of improve, too. I dont like anyone's odds beating the Lions at Ford field in the playoffs - but I'd say the same thing about the Packers, Tampa, San Fran, or a focused Philly team at home in January right now, too.
  24. Getting Watson and Reed into the mix makes the Packers offense alot more explosive with a decent line, too. I think the Lions are really good, but as has been pointed out twice on the road on grass fields, their offense can be held in check. At home that team is a different animal.
