Agreed that WI needs to find a way to get back to teams that dominate the trenches. Figuring out everything else offensively and defensively needs to go from there.

Barry's road grader offensive lines and defenses that brought Bucky into the national spotlight at all were built on 5th year seniors mixed in with a handful of blue chip recruits at key positions - they were men literally playing against boys and the physicality wore more talented opponents down. College football isn't that way anymore with transfers and NIL, so Bucky needs a new way to build a winning program when the conference is now chock full of programs that will poach the 5 star recruits at will away from madison.

Hoskins exercises 18MM dollar option for 2025
Fear The Chorizo replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I actually don't mind this one bit - even if he repeats last year's "production" it's not a payroll killer, and at minimum he provides RH pop at 1B/DH. Another season removed from that knee injury, hopefully he's got one more free agent year level of production in him. -
Agreed. The AFC is kind of a slog besides KC and Baltimore....and their remaining schedule offers them a legit shot at getting back to that ~0.500 mark to eek into the postseason, where they could cause problems if they can figure out how to block and keep Rodgers upright.

Trout can't stay on the field - and he's now mid-30s I wouldn't touch trading for that guy with a 10 foot pole even if the Angels at a bunch of what's left on that contract to sweeten the prospect pot.

Kind of cyclical, since the Cowboys were a huge thorn in the Packers side with Favre/Holmgren, too a generation earlier

The Vikings have routinely proven to be posers following early season successes. Two years ago they were among the luckiest teams in league history winning 13 games with a season-long point differential of -3, and they got bounced out in playoffs round 1 by Daniel Jones and the Giants. They have serious skill position talent, but if Darrisaw (who I think is overrated) is out for any length of time after that knee injury their offensive line is once again going to be a problem for their offense. Defensively, they're following last year's pattern of taking advantage of early season rust with confusing pressure packages - that slowly fades as teams figure out what they're having to do to generate a pass rush and they wind up gouging them down the field with big plays, coupled with inevitable injuries and wear and tear mounting up to expose their lack of quality depth at key positions. I think their coaching staff squeezes the most it can out of a roster that is really good in a few spots but meh at best overall in terms of talent.

Finkel and Einhorn, Einhorn and Finkel.... LACES OUT!! One of the reasons teams have gotten away from backup quarterbacks holding is to maintain continuity with that kicking unit (if #1 qb gets injured, backup isn't holding anymore) - but most importantly it's so that unit can practice together constantly. Long snappers have the level of skill where good ones get the ball to the holder in the exact same position with laces in the exact right place for them to simply catch it and put the ball down in the perfect spot for the kick. Holders have to be able to make minor adjustments quickly, and do so with high/low or crooked snaps when it isn't perfect - if they can't accomplish that and the ball placement/position isn't consistent, the kicker's not going to be as consistent as his mechanics can allow him to be.
-
I think it's simply 'better playing surfaces'. open air stadiums have more consistent sod/turf matrices compared to the painted dirt of years gone by when growing seasons end

His older brother is one of the best kickers in the NFL and he lost his first gig with the Vikings due to a bunch of missed FGs his rookie season. Carlson was more a victim of the Packers team getting really good faster than most expected - a playoff caliber team needs a reliable veteran kicker and not a developmental project. The continuity issues between snapper and holder also are a factor in the kicking game right now, IMO.

As a fan of the smallest market organization in MLB, I hate the WS matchup to a degree. But, as a baseball fan who wants to see the best against the best for a title, I love it. These are the type of matchups that made MLB America's pasttime. The playoff format, good or bad, has limited the number of these huge market matchups in the Fall Classic due to baseball being pretty random in October. I'm looking forward to the series as a baseball fan, knowing had my team pitched one more solid inning a few weeks ago that they could just as easily be in this spot, too.

Naw, that teams window is about to be slammed shut - their core is getting long in the tooth and they are already up against salary cap hell without yet paying a quarterback. Key injuries, yes - but that's football, and they don't have near the depth of talent they once had. Purdy is what their roster needs, until he's the highest paid player on it - then it all falls apart because the roster around him gets worse.
-
The only thing that would be better is if the 49ers give him a $50m per season extension

When you have the best player in the NFL, and he's your quarterback, and you have a damn good coaching staff, you can have a dynasty in the NFL by finding ways to win, and more importantly avoiding mistakes that make you lose. The Pats did it with Brady and Belichek...now the Chiefs are doing it. Dynasties don't need to have a team that's a juggernaut every single year.
-
I think one way to do this the right way with an expanded playoff format is for MLB to also give itself more time to let extended playoff rounds take place. That means fewer regular season games, then having best of 7 series throughout after a wild card best 2 out of 3 series happens. 3 division winners plus 2 wild cards per league. Wild card teams play a best 2 out of 3 series right after the regular season then divisional, LCS, and world series rounds are all best of 7. Reduce the MLB regular season back to 154 games to allow for an extra couple of weeks starting late September through end of October to get lengthier playoff rounds in - damn the regular season counting stat records.
-
I'm not....I called it a month ago in this thread. So far only partly right since I'm assuming their GM is also headed out the door before the year ends, too. Surprised Saleh is gone so quickly, and it's likely a way for the GM to try and save his own bacon.

Game 5: Packers @ Rams - Sunday, Oct 6th at 3:25PM
Fear The Chorizo replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Other Sports
I feel like Gary just runs straight into the tackle and is blocked on every single pass rush...thinking back to his days in college as a bigtime recruit that underperformed as a down lineman, I can't help but think the scheme change to a 4-3 may have warranted him bulking up a bit more and he just isn't as explosive as he was coming off the edge in a 3-4 as an OLB. -
If Rodgers didn't have peak Davante Adams for multiple seasons, Love would have played a season sooner in Packerland And I've long been a Rodgers proponent all the way through his time in GB
-
Leadoff walks kill you in late inning playoff games, no matter who you have pitching.
-
Not really a series/show, but the Netflix Rockumentary on Nickleback: Hate to Love was actually pretty well done. Really cool seeing a band largely form out of middle of nowhere Canada that found a way to make it huge. Not the biggest fan of their music but have to appreciate what they were able to achieve, now having a cult following both for and against them. "ducks for incoming projectiles from Nickleback haters"

That is some incredibly rare air -
If he can stay on the field, he is capable of multiple 30/30 seasons with great defense....5 tool player
-
So Fangraphs unhealthily hates the Brewers just about as much as they love the Angels over the years...perhaps that has alot to do with overestimating impacts great players have on overall team W/L records (i.e., Trout and Ohtani on the Angels so long over the years), particularly once injuries start impacting those players routinely. Conversely, one thing I've long though the Fangraphs seasonal win projections struggle with is factoring in team defense and the cumulative pitching staff for teams who lean heavily on their full 40 man roster to churn out wins over the course of 162 games.
-
based on how it looked initially, that's actually good news - I assumed he was headed for the operating table. Hopefully he can heal up and get right in a month - 6 weeks.

Game 4: Vikings @ Packers - Sunday, Sept 29th at 12PM
Fear The Chorizo replied to Joseph Zarr's topic in Other Sports
Yeah, his throw to Watson into triple coverage in the middle of the field got him injured, several almost jump balls off the back foot to the endzone, too
