  1. Giannis is the equivalent of a stay-at-home mom who asks her husband to get a second job so she can do more shopping.
  2. You can't say the Bucks ever stopped giving it an honest attempt.
  3. And just like that, the Brewers sit at the halfway point on pace for 90 wins, I would say likely to surpass that given a pretty sluggish start to the year and the added assets to the team. It was looking bleak for about a month there, but they look competitive again.
  4. There will be a drop off once he gets scouted intensely and what not, but this guy makes calling Peralta an ace look absolutely silly, which it was. And Freddy is fine, seems like a good guy, but they aren't even close.
  5. This half inning needs to be uploaded to YouTube and referenced every time someone tries to argue that defense doesn't matter in baseball or is overvalued.
  6. Well, I think he's average, but you have to round out your roster with some average players. If they believe in the power of scheme and think he is still growing, getting him cheap isn't so bad. He's not what you want from #22 overall, but that stops being a relevant thing after Draft Day.
  7. The Cubs have a good skid in them coming soon. Brewers are going to take this division in the end.
  8. Collins is lightning in a bottle. This team badly needed to find someone like that. Gives me Aguilar vibes.
  9. Ouch. It's not apples to apples but I would have paid $15 million for a single year. It hurts seeing somebody else get what could be the contract of the year if he stays on the field. That's not even a gamble at that price, it's a no brainer.
  10. I always thought Burnett sucked or was at best mediocre. He was one those bizarre guys that just got to hang around seemingly forever just being meh, while sections of the fan base clamored about how he was some unheralded gem of the defense. He was AJ Hawk in the secondary. I can't think of a single significant play he ever made.
  11. Peyton Manning played in 4 Super Bowls. We should probably point out that Eli defeated the Packers as an underdog both times he won it. Nobody thinks Joe Flacco and Rodgers are equals because they both have one Super Bowl. There's nuance to it, but there is no way that anybody is going to convince me that one Super Bowl appearance is an acceptable outcome for how dominant Aaron Rodgers was and how many golden opportunities the Packers had AFTER they actually won it.
  12. I'm not sure. I think it's Jaire and Bhak not playing despite not playing in the last 3 months or entire season, respectively, or the 200-yard game Tonyan was totally going to have... Nick Collins, unfortunate injury, sure. But has nothing to do with one of the best offenses of all time having like 10 points at the end of the 3rd quarter (Giants divisional). They did nothing that day. Tampa sucked, but they were at least as good or better than the Packers. That's probably the most easily excusable loss.
  13. Of course they do, but the Packers had established themselves as the favorite to win the Super Bowl in spite of most of those injuries. Bhaktiari shouldn't even be mentioned, he hadn't played the whole season. In most seasons, the knock on the Packers was that they didn't show up against the elite. Not the case that year, they beat both Super Bowl teams already - they more or less beat the brakes off LA. So we are really trying to pass off Robert Tonyan and MVS as legitimate reasons the Packers, with the MVP QB, couldn't get past a 10-7 #6 seed, at Lambeau Field, against an opponent led by Jimmy Garopolo, an offense that never got into the end zone. It doesn't even pass a laugh test. That game was probably the second biggest GB choke job of the last 30 years behind the Seattle debacle. That game is one of the reasons the Packers could go 17-0 and play the 8-9 Saints in the Divisional and I would still not believe any of the hype until after it's all said and done. I have just about no faith in the Packers to execute when it counts. I don't know how anyone my age does.
  14. Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones and Davante Adams need to score 14 points in a home playoff game. If GB Preble kids are on the OL, they need to figure it out. There are banged up teams literally every year. Somebody is missing all the time. Who was hurt when we kicked a FG down by 8 at home in January to Tampa and then couldn't get our defense off the field? What about the year before when we got stomped in Santa Clara? The defense we ran out against Atlanta? Letting Kaep run for 500 yards? Going 15-1 and losing to the Giants, again at home in the snow? Must have been guys hurt all those years too, lol.
  15. Score 2 touchdowns with the MVP of the league or max protect a punt, and it doesn't. Losing that game on your home field in the snow against a team from California was pathetic, but I am sure they appreciate your excuse making.
  16. I'm on my phone and I don't care about looking back 7 years to research lame injury excuses that every team endures every year. MVS. Seriously MVS. Lmao.
  17. Reaching the bottom of the Mariana Trench with our excuses at this point. Every team gets hurt. It's an excuse once. 15 years doesn't work. You're the one who said they lost to the 49ers in 2021 because they were too hurt right? Please. It's just insanity. If ANY other team in the NFL had a 4x MVP during which they never made a Super Bowl, that team would be criticized and rightfully so. I truly don't understand why that's so difficult to do. It doesn't make you less of a fan. No, it doesn't make you "negative." It makes you honest and realistic. The Packers underachieved in the playoffs consistently. It should be very easy for anyone to admit that.
  18. That is actually pretty damn interesting. He has the speed and is the prototypical size.
  19. Oh so now it's because Rodgers wasn't actually that good? LOL. My god, the delusion of this fanbase to explain away it's failures. It is truly a mental disease. We get to take stats away from certain opponents I guess. By the way, Rodgers never did that a single time, throw 15 TDs against DET/CHI. Detroit was a playoff team a couple of times he won MVP too. Again: Two things can be true at once. The Packers can be better than the Browns, Jets and Raiders of the league, and also guilty of doing less with more. This spoiled fan thing is such an old tripe. Who is spoiled? They've won a lot of games. They've also choked a ton and consistently had bad defenses. They've underachieved.
  20. Three of four guys you mention are all under 30 years old. And together, have played in one more Super Bowl than the Packers have in 15 years. Much more importantly, none are in the zip code of Aaron Rodgers. We can play this game all day. Four seasons of literal MVP QB play and not a single SB appearance to show for it, is bad. Two things can be true at the same time. The Packers can be an overall well-managed franchise with a history of winning regular season games, and they can also be one that has underachieved. You should be asking what teams did with Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Pat Mahomes and wondering why the Packers couldn't do that. Not comparing them to Dak Prescott.
  21. It isn't success when your QB wins MVP 4 times and in that span you don't appear in a single Super Bowl. That's bad. It isn't success when your defense fails to rank in the top 10 in that timeframe. That's bad. The Packers had an other-worldly, all-time great playing QB at an insane level as late as the guy was like 38 or something. It's not like they had someone who was "good." They had one of the top 5 to ever do it. Those days are long gone and not worth fretting over at this point. The current team is in a healthy state, but I roll my eyes at the Packers being some crazy successful team lately. If you have a QB like that you have to try to win fewer than 10 games. They underachieved tremendously.
