2024 Miscellaneous College Football thread
Fear The Chorizo replied to LouisEly's topic in Other Sports
If they do that, SEC will probably say "hold my beer' and make their conference championship games between the 3rd place teams in each of their divisions while giving the top 4 teams "byes" and then stating they should have 5 teams in a 12 team CFP. unintended consequences of an expanded playoff, here we come - that and the fact most people have next to no care about who's actually going to win it all anymore, and we're in year 1 of this 12 team expansion. -
After that Chiefs/Texans game totally hinged on several terrible roughing/unnecessary roughness calls on Mahomes, and also saw him flop like Vlade Divac on another run out of bounds that wasn't flagged, plus having Aikman in the national TV booth openly criticizing Mahomes getting those calls to extend drives that led to points and frankly being the difference in the game, I'm really hoping the NFL talks with whomever the officiating crew is for Sunday's AFC Championship game is to emphasize those calls or anything close to them can't be repeated. Especially not with the potential league MVP on the other sideline this time around. When you've got a quarterback actively looking to draw roughing penalties on defensive players because he knows they're already apprehensive to go full steam at him because of the rep he has drawing laundry from officials, it's not football anymore and takes away from everything else Mahomes does spectacularly on the field and becomes annoying as hell to watch if you're not a Chiefs fan. Man I hope the Bills win Sunday - and it wouldn't bother me at all if it's because they knock Mahomes out of the game early when he's extending a play outside the pocket by trying to play games with the sideline/draw a roughing flag and a defender with bad intentions reminds him how risky that should be for him to do.

Left to a blown blocking assignment to seal it, I guess. Crazy, but the Commanders should be the favorite next Sunday

Hang on...

It is impossible to play physical secondary defense in today's NFL. Totally clean hit on Smith on a deep pass into double coverage that Hurts hung him out to dry draws a 15 yard penalty. Then again, last week the Eagles were running g around spearing Packers and no flags - the only thing consistent is how inconsistently some if these rules are applied by officials.
-
What a stupid time to get gimmicky by the Lions. I don't trust Goff in a big game and don't trust a Campbell-led team to make good decisions in big games.. never have, never will
-
Jaire needs to be traded for just about anything at this point if the Packers walk away with some cap relief, too. The knock on him was his size coming out of college likely leading to injury concerns at the NFL level, and that has really played out as he's aged (and once he signed that extension which he honestly did deserved based on his on-field performance). Between him and Bakh, those contracts have been pretty rough.
-
I tend to agree on the Darnold decision, but either way I think the vikes are set for a big step back next year. I don't see how Flores doesn't get a head coaching gig somewhere else this offseason.
-
Yep - Jerry is the problem and will continue to be until he gets a gm/pres of football ops in there and stays in his owners box
-
They have a solid cap situation besides the fact they have a ton of free agents not counting toward their 2025 roster budget...and the fact they have to decide whether or not to overpay to keep Darnold around or let their 1st round QB from last year take over with zero NFL experience. The Vikings continue to field an "in between" roster that both isn't bad enough to tear down/rebuild and isn't good enough at key spots to win in January.
-
It doesn't help that the most physically gifted WR on the roster (Watson) hasn't been able to stay healthy enough to develop, and the receiver who appears best suited for those intermediate/possession type routes (Doubs) also now has head injury concerns. Those are probably #s 1 and 2 on the depth chart when healthy, and them on the field would make the depth the Packers have with the rest of the young wideouts look really damn good (especially Reed and Wicks as #3-4 options). It's not a surprise to me that the offense struggled with big plays in the passing game the last month or so, when both Watson and Doubs were taking turns missing games due to injuries. Both of them being question marks (or in Watson's case a likely afterthought with that knee injury) heading into 2025 means the Packers need to target signing a big time veteran WR and draft one early. Depth isn't valuable at a position in the NFL unless it's led by at least one impact talent - right now the Packers don't have that in their building at wideout.

Slay looks to have only 1 shoulder right now
-
dammit they had a hole for Jacobs there on that flag
-
they've gotta find some receivers down the seam of the field, in the middle of the field...and the running game has zero imagination besides the TE tush push go for it on 4th down
-
That's just a ridiculous play and INT by Slay...but not the right spot to go with the ball right there, either.
-
yes it is compared to personnel with him not on the field - him and Cooper are dynamic as LBs. Part of the issue why we rarely see it is the defensive line in front of them are anything but impactful/disruptive.
-
Philly is a damn good team, and if they can't generate a pass rush without blitzing it's going to be a very long day Also, Packer offense has to do something besides 2.5 yards and a cloud of dust. Defense mightaswell send the house repeatedly at will and force Hurts to make a play with his arm - hoping he makes a few bad decisions
-
yeah, it was all the way down the field then pushed him down - blatant
-
the other aspect of this is both organizations/front offices and the players union all root for their "side" regardless of the team/player involved, and there's pressure for those parties not to "cave" from established or desired market values if the two sides can't come to an agreement. Often times, prominent players and agents face pressure to go to arbitration no matter what in effort to re-establish market valuations for future arbitration cases/benchmarks for teams and players to negotiate from. I believe that was the case with Burnes and his representation, Kris Bryant/many players represented by Boras, etc. At the end of the day, if the two sides can't agree and head to arbitration, neither should feel hurt about the rest of the process - because they know what it entails. The best scenario in almost all cases is for the sides to reach an agreement in between and avoid the hearing - but that also takes both sides being willing to do so. The Brewers typically have 1 or no players they take all the way to an arbitration hearing - it's not like they're lowballing everyone constantly.
-
Jacobs is going to need to have a monster game for the Packers to win this one - and I think there will need to be a totally random receiver/tight end who has a huge day, too. If the Eagles' front can pin their ears back and rush the passer, Love is going to have a very long day without someone to truly take the top off the Eagles' secondary. On paper, Philly is the best team in the NFC and it's not really that close, they're healthy, and they should be motivated. I think the Packers give them a helluva test, but have a hard time seeing them putting together a complete enough game to win unless the Eagles suffer some catastrophic injuries or a series of fluky turnovers.

Contreras Trade
Fear The Chorizo replied to Scooterfletcher's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
If Quero has a solid AAA season and proves to be ready to be the everyday catcher in Milwaukee in 2026, the Brewers can then explore trading Contreras next offseason, shifting him to the primary DH and being a damn solid option as the ~30% backup catcher, or some combination of both. nothing to explore this offseason besides getting him signed via arbitration and letting him know he'll be catching ~120 games for the Brewers this coming season -
it was 3rd and 11 with 11 seconds on the game clock left - they ran a quick hitting play that wound up getting the ball ~14-15 yards downfield right on a hash where the center and lineman could run straight to the line of scrimmage, and the other receivers' job was basically to get set as soon as Moore was tackled. It was the fastest they could have reset and spiked the ball. it wasn't just the lineman getting to the line quickly - it was having all the other receivers basically go straight to getting set instead of being scattered all over the playing field after that play and having to wait on them to get back in formation for the next play, too. Running anything further downfield that was tackled in bounds or outside the hashes that would've required the officials to run with the ball back to where it would need to be snapped would've ended the game.

Doubs is their go-to intermediate route/deep crosser receiver that had monster games late last season as part of that play action game. He's been inconsistently available on gamedays the past month or so and the team's onfield production has suffered from that. Factor in Watson being iffy with injuries and now done with that knee, Jacobs just not being as dynamic a big play RB as Aaron Jones was in the running game, and Tucker Kraft seemingly hitting a wall and the skill position depth hasn't made plays for Love. I also think some of this is poor game-planning/play calling in trying to make Love an Aaron Rodgers clone. He simply isn't accurate enough to lead a precision passing offense that nickel and dimes you up and down the field. His biggest plus is arm talent and decent mobility, taking a big drop in play action, planting his foot and throwing based off a primary/secondary read. Even with Watson out, if Doubs is healthy the Packers have enough talent on offense to score 30+ a game against anyone if they put personnel in better positions to succeed. I don't think it's teams taking away what made them click offensively last season as much as it's the Packers getting away from it and instead tinkering with formations/plays to try and find a better widget.

That defensive call on 3rd and 11 is just trying to be too cute, and not giving the Bears any respect for being able to gain enough yardage for a 1st down in the middle of the field and being able to get up the LOS to clock it for a FG try. I get lining DBs outside of the trio of receivers to the right (keep any pass caught from getting out of bounds) - but doing that while taking 3 safeties completely out of any underneath play is insane wit 11 seconds on the clock in that spot. One of those deep safeties on Moore's side needed to be up 10 yards closer to impact a completion close to the 1st down marker in the middle of the field. The formation basically put the DB (Vallentine?) on an island against Moore with 2/3 of the field to work with - and impossible cover. Knowing the Bears needed to get the 1st down on that 3rd down play to even get a FG attempt (had they come up short, clocking it would've transferred possession), GB should've rushed 4 and played coverage at the 1st down yardage - forcing Williams to make a play deeper downfield if they wanted to take a shot.

If contract numbers make sense, Tyreke Hill wouldn't be a bad idea for a season or two.
