Fear The Chorizo

As for the trend about shredding coaches who go for it vs taking the points....I think it has gone too far the other direction, and more often than not taking points in those situations makes sense. I will say, I think it makes more sense to "go for it" on 4th down if you're in the red zone than kick a FG if it's a goal to go or very manageable 4th and 5-8 yards or less in those situations, because failing to convert at least pins the opponent deep in their own end taking over on downs. With the improvement in kickers making longer FG's, I actually dont like going for it in most 4th and short or medium situations outside the red zone compared to kicking the FG - the school of thought had been, long fg is a coinflip anyway and punting only nets you 10-20 yards of field position, go for it....i think that calculus has changed a bit. even a conversion on 4th down from the 30 likely means you need at least 1-2 more first down conversions to score a touchdown. Taking 3 points 85 percent of the time the first opportunity you get seems like a better percentage play to finishing the game scoring more points in those spots The crazy 4th and go for it scenarios from midfield or even on your own side of the field that Ben Johnson or other coaches are doing now is just reckless when it isnt a do or die end of game drive.

As long as the NFL is ok with restructuring this "Pro Bowl" to mean what it actually reflects - NFL players who are healthy enough after 17 regular season games who have openings on their calendar to play flag football Does anyone even watch? Is anything even broadcast?? Totally joke

I think some people are putting too much into the Pats' quick turnaround post Belichek, when that team pretty much was below average to stinking after Brady left following the 2019 season. They were an afterthought until Vrabel pulled everything together this year - and they caught some seriously convenient breaks. They hit a home run with Maye with the #2 overall pick last season (he's been decent but not setting the playoff world on fire), spent a ton of money in free agency because they had enormous cap room, and then walked through 3 games of playoffs in the AFC without having to beat Mahomes, Jackson, or Allen. Their defense will keep them in the Super Bowl, but I'd be surprised if they win - and I think it's easy to see them being among the teams who got to a Super Bowl once in a 10-15 year stretch. Lose and you're out in the NFL playoffs deals harsh doses of reality to teams with coaches who let the moment get to them - unfortunately I think MLF is one of those coaches and he just got extended.

Thinking the NFL may just want to replay the NFC championship game for the super bowl instead of having one of these AFC teams in it. Woof

It's alot more about the staff running the labs and how these labs are utilized to change pitcher's deliveries, add a pitch, etc...which still goes back to personnel departments identifying talent that can be enhanced using this type of technology to evaluate performance. Anyone nowadays can get the equipment to have a "lab"...it's more about how you use it - and the Brewers are among the best in the business at doing so.

It's a trade the Brewers need to make in most years under the current financial system - that being said, I get the angst of dealing your Opening Day starter from the past few seasons and how it impacts the MLB club in 2026, which could be the last full regular season for a few years. I think the return in terms of talent + years of control is fantastic for the trade - still stings though....even though Freddy is a roller coaster ride from one start to the next. Hoping the younger starter depth steps up in this organization and minimizes the immediate MLB hole created by Peralta pitching in Gotham.

I'm just wondering if these companies have removal/disposal included in the life cycle cost of the panels - which apparently they don't. I do know the commercial solar industry has concerns on disposal costs, but that's probably more to do with the scale and poor reception of landfilling all the spent panels while claiming a solid portion of the overall mass is recycled....which is basically just the aluminum framing/racking. Guess the cost of individual residential panel disposal isn't that high to just have sent to the dump whenever it's spent. Hopefully that ROI perfectly mirrors the model the company who sold the system to you presented. Maybe those residential models are much more accurate than what I'm seeing with clients I work with for community and generation-capacity solar developments that are less than a decade old - several of which are currently undergoing panel replacements.

Curious, does the company you work with cover removal/disposal costs for the panels, any racking, or inverter/battery systems when things need to either be replaced or removed? You are correct that as panels/system ages, they generate less energy - while the technology has improved somewhat, you're likely to start seeing diminishing returns start to happen right around the time your system "pays for itself". It won't get really significant until between years 20-30, at which point you've hopefully sold and gotten some sort of bump on the home price - without having to worry about the disposal/removal costs.

I think it depends on what you want the team you root for to accomplish - The Packers have been great at being pretty good for a very long time, going on a magical Super Bowl run as a 6 seed once....then they largely underperformed preseason expectations under McCarthy in the postseason until that nucleus got old along with a mix of bad defenses and atrocious special teams, and he got fired. MLF's hiring came with an infusion of free agency and a few good drafts to bolster a defense and saw a Rodgers resurgence, then they couldn't win home playoff games to get to the Super Bowl when they were expected to do so. Since then, they've been in perpetual 7 seed mode - injuries did derail them from having a higher seed and more realistic chance at a Super Bowl run this season, but they still should have at least made the divisional round. With the current roster, I just don't feel like the Packers are on the upswing with the same head coach. They still have consistently awful special teams that cost them games, and their defense has been inconsistent at best with alot less quality depth than what all the draft/free agency capital used to build it should. Some of that is Gute, but player development by the coaching staff is also important. Fact is that McDermott got fired because the NFL still can't figure out what a catch is, and MLF got an extension despite his teams repeatedly showing they can't close at crunch time in the playoffs - that has spanned multiple starting quarterbacks more than good enough to win in the postseason and typical NFL roster and coaching staff churn. The only common denominator is MLF. I don't like the fact he's still the Packers' head coach.

Love hasn't had anyone else coaching him since joining the NFL...and Parsons came from the telenovela that is Jerry's team. Couple that with the "youngest team in the NFL" moniker, and I take what the players publicly say defending him with a grain of salt. I'm sure his demeanor makes them comfortable...but that hasn't led to anything but early playoff exits based on team expectations developed during regular seasons. Frankly I think this roster could use a good kick in the posterior, and MLF isn't the guy for that after developing the culture that warrants that type of shift. MLF has been around coaching this team long enough for its culture to reflect him - I don't think continuity is the recipe for the Packers taking the next step in January football

Rodgers literally gave it back to Bear fans f bombing him all game long and reminded them that he literally did own them in the heat of the moment. Ben Johnson has to be related to PCA - I bet he blushes when someone tells him he's accomplished nothing at the NFL level worth a damn yet, either. Its more about the Bears spearing Love, getting a 15 yard penalty on Nixon for choking him after a play, and then getting their panties in a bundle when Packer players were quoted saying they wanted the Bears in the playoffs - which was obvious to any rational football fan because they knew that was their best chance to win a road playoff game. It's ok though - the amount of actual on-field success Bears fans have experienced since I was a toddler is so small, I can at least understand why they have no clue how to handle it. Oh, and the Bears still suck

I think it's more of an "act like you've been there before" approach....something the Bears organization has never had to worry about understanding.

Have fun with a first place schedule and the realization you're going to have to start shedding veteran contracts this offseason to pay Williams on a roster that still needs a ton of help on defense, Bears fans. At least you beat the Packers twice though - hang that banner!

Chicago will still throw a parade...Will be a good send-off when they move the stadium back to Gary

Thank you for proving me wrong, Ram special teams

This cannot come down to a rams field goal to win it...because they will screw it up

Hey look, another Brett Favre play!

Offensive geniuses...lol

He'll be on the verge of superstardom until his style of play blows out a couple knees

Both qb's playing like that, actually

Bears are going to stumble into an actual drive by getting back to the run at some point

Awful, windy conditions to pass...so naturally attempt 30 passes and run it only 10 times when you're getting 4.5 yards a carry. What the actual hell, McVay?

This game reeks of awful Ram special teams costing them late

I cant see them walking into Seattle and winning next wkend....but yeah its not zero percent possibility at this point Still think the Rams pull this one out

Crazy one handed catch....that probably shouldnt be a catch. That ball moved once it hit the ground in his hand
