    Oddly enough, that dropped pass on first down seem to ruin the drive.
  2. OldSchoolSnapper
    So is the offense, for now. They can move the ball if Rodgers is limited. And if they keep running like this it's going to open things up at some point for Rodgers.
  3. OldSchoolSnapper
    Dang, I thought that was going right into Savage's chest.

    I'll never understand 3-4 plays to get 4 yards and instead you opt to turn 3 yards into needing to convert about a 10-yard pass, considering the dropback and point of the catch, etc. Once you throw it on first, then there's pressure to keep throwing. You really couldn't get 3 yards in four runs? I've seen it happen before I guess...but I really don't get the decision making. And teams do it a lot.

    I know MLF knows football better than I do. But just give Dillon the ball 4 times at this distance.
  6. OldSchoolSnapper
    That is clearly off the PR, but for some reason I expect them not to change the call.

    You know you aren't getting some Cannes film with Halloween...but the one from 2018 seemed to do a nice job of entertaining and at least inserting a plausible story given the circumstances. I love Michael, just thought this one was a lot less creative than the last.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    I feel like that is proper enforcement of the rule. Gary only had a sack because he committed the facemask, so enforcing it from the spot of the foul would be a little odd.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    NVM, no.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    Didn't he go out of bounds and be the first to touch the ball?
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    I wish this was acknowledged so much more than it is.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    I liked the call, and, frankly, he should have caught it. Great defensive play though. Jones is a dynamic playmaker and splitting him out wide is the kind of creativity Mike McCarthy would never try and it drove me nuts.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    Stepped into that one and it was on the money.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    Rodgers is throwing a lot of passes so far while stepping backwards. He is not comfortable back there.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    Watched Halloween Kills on Peacock. Thought the "new original" was a lot better. This one felt really silly and I found the central theme of "town must stop Michael now, themselves!" really schticky. For fans that just want to see Michael be Michael, it delivers that...but I thought it was silly, even for Halloween series.

    I think any GM that gets MKE into the playoffs is pretty good. Picking in the top 5 of an MLB Draft is pretty inconsequential to me. It's not exactly the same as doing that in the NBA and MLB otherwise we wouldn't see a lot of the same awful clubs year in and year out.

    Usually when people get amped up for an exciting game, the Packers get destroyed. I find that when people give up and fear the opponent, they at least tend to play really well. This game is giving me serious vibes of the season they went to Houston and played the undefeated Texans and beat the brakes off them. I dunno if tonight's a blowout, but I feel pretty good about the Packers chances. The defeatist attitude about a 6-1 team with an all-timer at QB is pretty astounding to me. I get thinking they're going to lose, and I get that some of their previous defensive performances are less than inspiring. But all this blowout stuff and basically losing on purpose to save injury...just sounds awfully weak.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    The offense in general was not very good that season. Think it was the year Jordy went down, Lacy was fat and Adams couldn't catch. The defense kept them in a lot of games.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    I think what both of them did has more to do with the trend of the game at the time than what they preferred. Maybe that is what Melvin preferred though, I don't really know. It was also just a pretty different inheritance that each had. Melvin had most of a young core. They drafted Hardy, Hart, Braun, Fielder, Weeks, etc. pretty early on in his time here. By the time most of those guys were MLB players, it made sense to do the big-ticket "over the hump" type of moves that he did. He didn't need to go bargain hunting for offense because he had a roster full of hitters. It is really difficult to bargain hunt FA for playoff pitchers. Not impossible, but difficult. So trading chips away for Sabathia and Greinke does make some sense to me for when he did it. Of course there's Suppan too. Yeah, I think Stearns is a bit more of a pragmatist and better overall. But Doug Melvin deserves a really nice place in Brewers history.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    Rodgers scored 13 points through 59 minutes of that game, too.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    I would never pine for Melvin over Stearns but Melvin was an amazing GM for the Brewers and did play a huge role in getting them back to respectability. DS took over a club that had enjoyed recent success, yes there were some lean years in there but nothing like the "there is no light at the end of the tunnel" years I endured as a kid. Their tenures were both during really different times for the league too. Really happy we got both guys, but I stop short of mocking what Melvin did to make DS look good. Acquiring CC Sabathia and his run that season is possibly the best time of my life as a Brewers fan...you wanted to see every inning that guy pitched for a summer. And it was a big moment in getting this team to the playoffs, which really felt absolutely insurmountable for me back then.

    As I've said I'm not a Badgers fan. I just happen to catch a game now and then due to circumstances. But what on earth happened to Mertz? I would accept him being a total bust, but he looked pretty good last season given his experience level. Now he throws 8 passes a game?
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    Exactly. And I remember every single company that had a person CALL me to tell I wasn't selected. Because I can fit them on one hand.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    Looks like he needs shoulder surgery and is likely out for the season. Consider that a bullet dodged. That stinks. Guy just can't catch a break health-wise.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    Unless you live outside of WI. I drove home from MI last weekend and listened to the game the whole ride. Yeah...I didn't really think of that. These days I find myself doing a lot of Packers/Brewers/Bucks radio at home as I can do other things more easily while it's on. And my nicer bluetooth things don't connect to AM.
