    Great playcall too
  2. Fear The Chorizo
    PI for sure...love the throw there!
  3. Fear The Chorizo
    And a missed facemask
  4. Fear The Chorizo
    Just a cluster right now....get out of this series without a turnover
  5. Fear The Chorizo
    Someone check to see if that sideline judge lives in San fran....Jesus what a terrible spot
  6. Fear The Chorizo
    The rain is definitely impacting Purdy throwing the ball, and the footing....gotta get a turnover. Samuel out with that shoulder is also huge - seemed like they were going to him often in those short swing passes and him out of the lineup takes them away from their original gameplan a bit.

    It's just the 49ers being more stout in the red zone compared to recent opponents - Love isn't getting enough time for some of these plays to free up receivers. Would like to see a back shoulder fade or jump ball to Watson down there when it starts getting compressed - at least take 1 shot at it.
  8. Fear The Chorizo
    It's amazing to me how often it seems like everyone screaming to spike the ball to preserve a timeout forgets that it also burns a down - especially if the preceeding play isn't a 1st down.
  9. Fear The Chorizo
    I'm also pretty sure that deep td to kittle was a blown coverage by the safety....he needed to be back deep instead of jumping the shallow out.

    I was referring to the 49ers leaning on their defense as a reason they are Uber conservative at the end of the half. Feels like making a couple plays would've had the Packers up by more than 7 at the half....but being down 1 against the 49ers isn't the end of the world, either. This team is growing up fast
  11. Fear The Chorizo
    They're going to lean on their defense....feels like they might have a shot play before half to try and score a td though
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    Will need a turnover to win this game....that missed INT for an easy 6 stings so much right now
  13. Fear The Chorizo
    Absolutely have to catch that
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    The key is to take away as much of the dink and dunk passing game away from the 49ers - they still have weapons on the outside, but force Purdy to have to make longer, lower percentage throws outside the hashes to move the chains....particularly with a wet football. A soggy track negates the advantage the 49ers have had resting the past few weeks, and likely slows down that 1st step off the snap by their Dline....keeping their defensive front from wrecking the game is a necessity for the Packers to have a shot, so I say let it rain like crazy.

    I believe the only current option is to have a flatbed tow truck pick you up and take you to the nearest charging station/home. Perhaps there will be a method developed for a mobile charging unit to drive out and give the car enough juice to get a few more miles down the road to charge, but honestly from a time/cost perspective it probably would be cheaper and more efficient to just tow the car off the road to a power source somewhere that will get it running again.

    Note that the 2032 EPA guidelines are "technology neutral" - they don't require EVs, just emission standards. While true, there simply isn't any other developing technology close enough to scaling up that would help with those guidelines in less than 10 years, thus the initial push in the last couple years to build and sell more EVs. Since auto manufacturers are already dropping the rate at which EVs are being manufactured, I'd expect that either the emission standard value would increase if it stays at 2032 or the year that the standard needs to be met will get pushed further into the horizon. I'm most hopeful for hydrogen being the true ICE replacement, with EVs serving to bridge that gap once enough people realize the practical limitations and environmental issues that sort of scaled manufacturing would be on a global scale, but hydrogen is still several decades away from being an option.

    The 49ers have benefitted immensely by getting compensatory draft picks for some players , but mostly coaches and front office people being hired away by other teams over the past few years - the volume of those extra picks has helped fill in what would be glaring holes in roster depth behind their marquee players. Those compensatory picks have offset the draft pick losses for Lance and to acquire McCaffrey, and frankly I think the current system gives teams too much in draft compensation for losing front office personnel/coaches to other organizations. That being said, the 49ers are currently one of the older rosters in the NFL, and they're already into having to play all sorts of restructuring/cap gymnastics to keep their core around past this season - without having to worry about paying their starting quarterback enough to afford a San Fran apartment. This is the year the 49ers need to win a title before some of these issues start swiss-cheesing their current roster. Hoping the 49ers get silly and give Purdy huge money only to find out he's a 7th round talent as the weapons around him and the defense ages out or leaves for more money than what the 49ers can pay them.

    I would add OLB to that mix, but agreed that adding a tackle early in the draft should be a priority - as they've seemingly hit on who their QB is for the longterm, get an impact tackle to protect him. I'd also add its nice to see Rhyan getting a good share of snaps at right guard. Runyan has been ok, but Rhyan profiles as a more physical/athletically gifted guard and it seems like he's figuring things out.

    hehe....it's actually been raining a ton in California over the last year +...it's just hardly ever written/talked about, because, well, I'll just leave that alone for now. And one thing I don't think can be said about this young Packers team is that it's not physical...the last few drafts have dramatically changed the physical makeup of the roster. If the Packers lose Saturday it won't be a surprise, and it won't be chiefly because they aren't physical enough....they would have just run into a better, more veteran team built to win now. The rainy weather conditions throw a variable into the game that doesn't show up in "on-paper" matchups.

    This equates to 25% of its current fleet of personal vehicles on the road in Norway, so they're still a long ways off eliminating ICE vehicles, too....obviously that percentage will change over time, but even that small country will have to deal with expanding its network of chargers/power supply infrastructure four-fold to meet the demand they are imposing with their current incentives/subsidies/tax exemptions. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few years, for sure.

    At this point, I'm guessing Boras' caller ID is is 99% outgoing calls he makes to different GMs/owners leaving voicemails and repeating the initial offers he expects players to sign for that every team has balked at, and 1% from his clients calling him asking if he's heard anything back from any teams.

    assuming good health, I think Knoth is going to fly up prospect lists in the next 18 months, and if his fastball sits in the mid 90s with further physical development he's got a higher ceiling than a mid-rotation starter. 2024 will be a "patience" type season of development with Knoth, with 2025 being the season where he might be jumping through multiple minor league levels.

    I just don't view forcing teams to account for deferred dollars paid to a player on a contract during the time period the player is actually playing (i.e., the competitive window of that player's contract) as being more restrictive. If anything, it should have been set up that way in the first place. I'm not advocating the luxury tax limit to be restricted or grow slower, I'm advocating for the rules to be set up to force teams to pay the penalties for going and staying over those limits to MLB and then those penalty dollars actually being provided to smaller clubs that would lead to increased free agent contract signings by them, increasing their payrolls. The way it's set up and with how the Dodgers are approaching things, it shouldn't be termed "competitive luxury tax". This hasn't been an issue until the Dodgers are now using their massive TV contract to give them a way to skirt permanently being over the luxury tax thresholds by deferring ~95% of actual dollars paid to the best player in the sport until after his playing term of the contract he signed in free agency ends.
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    Agreed - and that is actually just fine in my book to wind up getting as much of Burnes' best years of pitching as a Brewer before he spends all of next winter as a free agent before signing halfway into 2025 spring training with a different team. If the Brewers are in contention this season, the value of having one more shot to make a postseason run with Burnes anchoring the rotation coupled with QO draft pick compensation is pretty significant, and worth more than a deadline trade package for a couple month rental....and frankly it's worth more IMO than a trade package received this offseason for Burnes, too. Many will be upset he wasn't traded this offseason, or even last offseason to try and stockpile more prospects - but then will neglect that would mean the MLB club would have suffered because of it during a window where the division has been there for the Brewers to win.
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    Based on this offseason I can see the Dodgers not wanting to adjust the luxury tax accounting rules...but I don't think any changes need to have universal agreement on the owners' side of things in order to be adopted, and the other large market club owners are probably more on the side of the small market clubs. And I don't know why the players' union would care if a competitive luxury tax rule change forces a team to account for the full value of a contract against the team's luxury tax payroll during the playing years of a contract - if anything, Ohtani's almost entirely deferred contract actually sets a precedent the players' union should be leery about.
