    I'm coming around to the fact Williams has alot more Ryan Leaf to his mental game than Bears fans would be hoping for
  2. Fear The Chorizo
    I think they somehow retroactively pay him $64M of that new money based on his 2024 postseason contributions and then have him count like ~$2.5M per year the next 5 against the luxury tax. A 5 year contract for a utility man that rounds up to 9 figures in guaranteed money...because, the Dodgers.
  3. Fear The Chorizo
    I watched him carry Tyreke Hill in zone pass coverage 30 yards downfield. He still has a bit too much passive ness at shooting gaps and shedding blocks in the run game, but he also does plenty of things a LB simply should not be able to do athletically.
  4. Fear The Chorizo
    They're almost there at the half...and I think 30 might be plenty for the W Still plenty of "young team" mistakes...but this team is starting to roll a bit
  5. Fear The Chorizo
    My goodness the flags
  6. Fear The Chorizo
    He doesn't play offense Detroit can be beaten in a shootout-type game. Their opponent would just need to dominate offensively and their defense would need to pick Goff off a few times. He gave the Bears a pick on their 1st drive and they dropped it.

    What is unfair about it, is they are the only organization that basically receives more than a large market team-sized payroll windfall from their own TV deal, even before the built in advantages of being in essentially the largest market in all of baseball. Isn't it like over $300M a season?? No other team in MLB can afford to defer huge sums of $$$ on player contracts to skirt the immediate hit (for example, Ohtani's deal with no deferred money would be a $70M payroll hit annually, not ~$46M with the accounting gymnastics it currently is) - and they can do so simply because they know they have a much bigger gold mine to always provide plenty of money to continue buying the best players. Other teams do defer a bit of player contracts when they can, but they don't have the ability to do so indiscriminately while also not caring about their luxury tax position. It's honestly the Dodgers and then everyone else in that regard.
  8. Fear The Chorizo
    yes, but it needs to happen, and i think fanbases of the small market teams can see why it's important to straighten this mess out.
  9. Fear The Chorizo
    And if you factor in deferred salaries currently on their books to count fully against current payrolls, their penalty would be much, much higher than whatever it will be.
  10. Fear The Chorizo
    If MLB doesn't make significant changes to force all TV revenue money to be shared (both MLB-wide and individual team TV deals), then they have to change the rules on deferring money in contracts to avoid or minimize luxury tax penalties in the here and now. It's the Dodgers and then everyone else simply because of their TV deal and market size - they even make the Yankees and Mets look like a small market clubs by comparison. This is just stupid - and honestly it's worth it for small market team owners to band together and force an extended work stoppage to make legitimate changes to MLB's financial model. It's not even about creating an even playing field - it's about getting all 30 MLB teams on the same planet in terms of financial resources they are able to dedicate towards player payrolls.
  11. Fear The Chorizo
    I think as the calendar shifts into December and if health persists, the rest of the NFC playoff field is going to be hoping to find ways to avoid playing the Packers, too. If Love stays consistent, their offense has balance and talent all over the field - and they're going to be able to score with anyone, anywhere.
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    agreed, but that doesn't mean that just about any other team in the NFC playoff picture couldn't walk into Ford Field and beat them. Any given Sunday (or saturday/monday/thursday/etc with today's NFL schedule)
  13. Fear The Chorizo
    Who are we talking about? Zach Wilson, #2 overall pick in the draft a few years ago. In retrospect, that draft year seems generally awful for quarterbacks now...but he still bungled that pick.
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    much deserved, and glad Murphy won manager of the year right after Coun$ell won offseason manager of the year
  15. Fear The Chorizo
    Jets GM canned...and deservedly so. Pick a pumpkin high in the draft and no matter what else you do to try and scramble to fix that position, that bad pick will eventually cost you your job. Trading for Rodgers didn't quite pan out too well, either, lol. Gute probably has a massive bowl of popcorn out enjoying that train wreck right now....
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    It's honestly about how Love plays, and if he avoids making any Favre-like foolish decisions with the football. Even the games they've won with him behind center, his ill-timed INTs have kept opponents in the game. If he can find the rhythm that he had the last couple months of last season, the Packers can beat anyone, anywhere. I just don't know if he's at the point in development where we can expect that type of sustained performance and consistent decision-making. Prime Rodgers spoiled all of us expecting that eventually clicks for all toolsy QBs with arm talent.
  17. Fear The Chorizo
    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.
  18. Fear The Chorizo
    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.
  19. Fear The Chorizo
    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.
  20. Fear The Chorizo
    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.
  21. Fear The Chorizo
    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.
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    Kind of cyclical, since the Cowboys were a huge thorn in the Packers side with Favre/Holmgren, too a generation earlier
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    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.
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    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
