I'm fine if he gets left off the roster. I think with his talent you give him a shot. Maybe if you're up 2-0 you let him start game 3 and throw 2 innings. Let's just remember Jeff Suppan has an October award. Magic can happen in October and he has the arm to be magical. -
So much hand-wringing the Cubs were going to catch us 😆
-
I don't disagree, but I think he can give you an inning or two somewhere from inning 1-6. I wouldn't want him later than that and he can't go through the order twice.

I believe we'll clinch on Sunday. 1 seed is not a sure thing, but it's close. I don't think people are considering how hard it is for Philly pick up 4 games with 9 left. There's a mental barrier there where 4 games doesn't sound like a lot in baseball, but it is when it's a 9-game season.

Have the Cubs said it's over yet? We're getting shockingly close to it not being their decision.

Have the Cubs said it's over? I've been told that's when it's over.

Willis screams career backup. It's very possible some team try to make him a starter, but I really don't see that going well for them. Any athlete in his shoes would want to play, but there's something to be said for carving out a long career as a backup QB. I don't think anything is worth it on the Packers side. He's a great fill-in for a concussion or a few weeks. He could be the difference between retaining HFA or slipping into a WC.

Game 3: Packers @ Browns - Sunday, Sept 21 12:00 PM
OldSchoolSnapper replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Other Sports
The Packers really got a favorable schedule. It wasn't statistically weak or anything, but you can't really ask for more than getting to play Detroit and Washington right away at home. They get Philly at home. They get Baltimore at home. Now the road games start with Cleveland and Dallas, they are really getting set up nicely. There really isn't a game on the schedule that it appears likely they'll lose, though I'm sure a few are mixed in there. Dallas is a bit of a sneaky one, but they have no business losing this week. -
Are you referring to my realistic take that I couldn't put a pulse on the kind of team the Packers would be? Where I said I think anyone could rationalize anything between 7 and 13 wins? I predicted the Packers to go 11-6 before they traded for Parsons. Not sure what you're getting at. I never thought the Packers would suck. I've said this like 10 thousand times but the same 3 posters continue misconstruing it. They looked like the same playoff team they had been without any blockbuster move to get them over the top. Apparently the general manager agreed.

Game 2: Commanders at Packers - Thursday, Sept 11 7:15 PM

You agree to a $13.5 million deal because if you come back and get hurt again you are playing the following season on a vet minimum if you're lucky. Any agent in the world that advised Watson to not sign that, and just come back and play, should have his license revoked. That the Packers offered it at all tells me that they think he's very likely to be able to make a recovery. He has the injury-plagued badge on his jersey, but the real nagging problem was soft tissue, which they did seem to get past last year. The ACL was an unfortunate one-off that can happen to anyone, and really isn't the injury it used to be. Even if he went banana pants you're talking about what's probably going to be a handful of games. Teams would use it to drive his price down. This is really the best outcome for him, he gets to play next year with a nice AAV and earn a giant contract. -
I am not quite ready to annoint us. We have to play more games. We've seen the Packers get absolutely rocked in week 1 so I'm giving the Lions some slack. It's just too early to make sweeping generalizations. I expect someone will bring the Packers down to earth a bit soon and expose a weakness along one or both lines running the ball. And as it comes to the Packers they could go 17-0 and I would still be nervous they come out flat in the divisional and score 10 points.
-
Not sure they really had a choice. Couldn't pay Darnold and high investment in McCarthy. Probably figured they had a good enough team that the set up for him was as good as it would get. It's obvious though that we should win this division.
-
Worrying about 1v2 feels kind of silly. Especially in baseball where it's a huge assumption that the NLCS is 1v2. The bye is a very tangible advantage. I'd rather be #1, but I am not stressing about being #2.

Took the words out of my mouth. I can name at least 2.

Game 2: Commanders at Packers - Thursday, Sept 11 7:15 PM

Uh, any player in his shoes signs that deal. I think Watson is a potential game changer, but it depends on being healthy. I think the Packers offered that deal because they think his ACL was a one-off, and that they solved the nagging soft tissue problems. I don't think they have another WR on the team with Watson's ability. -
They're running out of time in the sense that their margin of error quickly becomes non-existent because there is no tomorrow. If they drop 2 the Dodgers and the Brewers win the next 2 they are suddenly 4 back in the loss column without a tiebreaker and 10 games to play. People don't seem to grasp that 5 games up with 6 weeks left isn't the same as 5 games with 12 games left. The fact is Philadelphia is going to lose more games. Any kind of lead at this point in the year is significant. When you essentially need to gain 3 games when there are only 12 left, that's significant. Your odds shrink significantly every night you lose.
-
Your account has to be satire at this point. You have been saying this for a month and they haven't gained any ground. It's not happening buddy.
-
At this point I trust Murphy. I think (hope) it's all strategic. I'd prefer #1 but #2 is not that big of a deal. The division is what you need and that's a formality at this point. We're getting to close to where Philly is running out of time too though. They're going out West now for 6 games, 3 with LAD who has every reason to win those games. I think Philadelphia has at least 4 losses in them. In that scenario, a .500 finish lets us hold the pole position. I would say I'm more interested in how we look the last few days of the season, but given that we will have a big layoff anyway, I'm not even sure that matters.
-
I am kinda fine with them farting around a bit for another week and a half. Then come out of it when it really starts to matter.
-
Sure did, but I was struggling to keep my eyes open. I was unconscious before the bottom half even started.
-
Still laughing @Sixtolezcano?
-
Lol c'mon you guys. Jesus.

Saving him for a sac fly in 13th inning.

The meat of the order really sucked tonight in multiple big spots.
