    That feels like a backbreaker game that decided the series. I have to credit to LA. All the talk of their marginal bullpen and they held on for 9 innings of extras.
  2. OldSchoolSnapper
    Watson is a huge boost to them offensively. They just don't have another go up and get it type WR.
  3. OldSchoolSnapper
    By far. The only game that even compares is the Lions, and that has the asterisk of being Week 1. I think Pittsburgh is mediocre and just won some games early, but this is a good win and the offense finally showed some rhythm in the second half.

    Parsons is every bit as good as advertised. The sack after the touchdown was a total drive killer. If he is not double teamed he is virtually unblockable.
  5. OldSchoolSnapper
    Steelers really melting down.
  6. OldSchoolSnapper
    I can agree he left 3 on the board. The 57 yarder is tough to just assume.
  7. OldSchoolSnapper
    The elephant in the room a lot of this season for me has been that Wilson is just simply more efficient than Jacobs at times. I'm a huge Jacobs fan, but Wilson always seems to make someone miss. He just looks more explosive.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    Don't know what Collinsworth is on about. That was as much DPI as it was a push off from Kraft.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    Kickers don't get to miss many 40ish yard FGs anymore. Standards are high.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    This offense has just been anemic all season. That is not acceptable for what they are paying the QB and allegedly having a genius offensive mind as the HC.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    Lucas Havrisik step on up.

    I knew someone would say that, but nope, it isn't the same. This year is a perfect example of how and why. Look at the version of the Dodgers that the Brewers went 6-0 against as opposed to the one that swept them. It is barely even the same team. The Brewers can't throw Peralta and Preister on the DL at their leisure for "rest" and come out on the other side with 95 wins. They have the luxury of half-arsing it to 94 wins, but for the Brewers to do that, they have to scratch for every win on the margins, which they've gotten exceptionally good at doing. You have been seeing this in the NBA for quite some time now, and the expanded playoff field is allowing that strategy into the MLB. The Dodgers going full throttle this season may have won 120 games and scored 1000 runs. Only kidding a little bit.

    Except it doesn't when the brand of the sport played in October is almost unrecognizable from April - July. It means you were 3rd in runs in the regular season and nothing more. Those run totals, over 162 games, are racked up against a billion situations where you're facing a pitcher who will never touch a baseball in a playoff series, batters that will not even be on a roster, spot starters, 15 games against the Pirates, etc. With 12 teams in the postseason it has officially become about getting there with any seed, and if that means you drop a bunch of games in June, so be it. I think the Dodgers have realized that 110 wins doesn't get them anywhere special. You have to do what you have to do to get through those 162 games, which favors the Brewers as they have mastered the art of winning those margin games. But when it comes to stacking the best lineup possible, I don't think we're on the level of teams like TOR, LAD, PHL, NYY. Doesn't mean we can't ever beat them, but they have better weapons.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah I don't put a whole lot of stock into runs scored as a measure of offense, it's not like football. When you play 162 games and manufacture runs the way the Brewers do, you are putting a ton of base runners on against the schlubs of the league. It's a totally different dynamic when you have to get actual hits against elite teams throwing their 4 best guys in a brief do or die series. Then it becomes talent on talent and there is no way looking at that lineup, that I can say we have more talented hitters than Toronto. It was apparent when the Brewers patience was neutralized just by Snell throwing strikes. Before the 6th he did the same thing to Toronto, but they started hitting him anyway. We were 3rd in RS in MLB. Does someone believe we had the 3rd best offense?
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    Let's take a minute to ponder that Bo Bichette was tossed onto this roster at the last second and he would arguably be the best hitter in our lineup.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    Substantially more talented offense. Got shut down by Snell as well, but multiple times through the order and they caught on. There was also a perfect mix of attacking early in the count + discipline working counts. Only swung at the ones they could hit.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    Marshfield and UWM's own Daulton Varsho!
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    Fortunately nobody has been that good.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    Annihilated Tampa in the trenches. That was a better game than we've had since we beat them.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    There are worse straws to draw in life than experimental D1 football coach making 7 figures for a couple years.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    There's no way that stuff like this isn't happening in every league under the sun with the widespread takeover of gambling that was just inexplicably greenlighted in the last few years. You went from leagues running straight-up anti-gambling ads during games to putting bookies inside of arenas. Insane
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    Baseball is too random of a game for things to be this simple. It could happen, but so could a sweep the other way.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    The North is a 2-horse race. Minnesota doesn't have it this year, the Bears I think are a solid team capable of beating us once but I don't think they can win it outright. I think Detroit looks better than us, at a minimum they're far more explosive offensively right now...but obviously we beat them. We got very fortunate catching week 1. I don't feel super great about our odds beating them on the road on Thanksgiving.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    Funny to bring this up. I had the full 2010 NFC championship game on YouTube playing in the background today. There's a point in the game where the Bears are down 14-0 and drive to the Packers 31. The drive stalls and it's 4th and 6 or something. They punt the ball instead of attempting a 48 yarder. The punt sails a good 8 yards into the end zone. Netting them 11 yards of field position rather than going for it.

    Not from me and I think many others. Favre handled his exit so differently from Rodgers. He retired when he knew full well he wasn't done then tried to stick his nose back in when the club had moved on. Then made it his petulant mission to make sure he could beat the Packers somewhere. Rodgers had a replacement drafted before he was a back-to-back MVP and despite having every reason to be a jerk to the kid, became his best friend. It was clear when he left that it was best for everyone he did so. I just never had any animosity toward him like I did with Favre. I still hope the Packers win this weekend and obviously in a Super Bowl if they played each other...but unlike with Favre where I wanted nothing more than winning against him (the beatings in 2010 are great memories) seeing Rodgers win would be more like a silver lining of losing the Super Bowl...I still like him.
