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.

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.

You should probably just quit the site if you can't be positive! They were seriously so, so close to beating Philadelphia! /s

It's the Packers. They won't sign a known name floating around in July. The fill-in will be a UDFA from Western Applegate Tech,
-
I think the Vikings are going to finish last. I think the Lions are the paper favorite, but it just gets difficult to sustain that level of dominance over a long enough time and a drop-off wouldn't shock me. I think the Packers and the Bears are closer than people want to think.
-
I don't think it's a blunder. Obviously the league knew this was happening. No incentive to trade for him when he will be released and even if traded, would be seeking a contract anyway. Josh Sutton 2.0, just younger. I'd rather they cut ties then bring an unreliable malcontent back to camp. Not much of a loss when he barely plays anyway. I think this is minimally impactful on 2025. Doesn't change my outlook at all; 3rd place feels about as likely as 1st. Development, the rookie class, and Love's play will determine that. I'm just meh on Jaire.
-
Brewers starting to look a bit more like the team I thought they were before the season. Wasn't planning on World Series tickets or anything but I still thought this was a backend playoff team. They will probably have to claw to get there, but I just didn't want to believe they were as bad as they had been looking. They can't keep this pace obviously but if they can stay out of these 6 and 7 game skis the other way, I think they are definitely capable of 88-92 wins. -
Peralta is good. I like him. But until he can get through 5 innings without 110 pitches consistently, he's not an ace.
-
Truth is that mediocre teams have won WS titles. Almost always, they can pitch. I don't see it happening, but it does, so I am always very hesitant to just punt a season away, even if you are mediocre, if you are technically a few games out of a playoff spot. To me, you always go for that spot if it's reasonable.
-
I do hope Jaire decides to be a trooper and plays. I would just caution anyone celebrating that to remember that he has barely played the last 3 years. His health is a longer shot than him deciding to play.
-
You make the decision at the ASB. I am not sure what we have to sell though to be honest. Hoskins I guess.
-
I can't believe there's a soul suggesting the Bucks could have won the East this year or anyone still clammering about Middleton "if he was healthy." About the same as wishing they had Kareem "if he was 25." They lost to Indiana 4-1. Why are pockets of the fan base under the impression the series went 7 or something? The Bucks are washed. Their ceiling is the 2nd round of the playoffs if they get a lucky matchup. Their only path out of this is a slam dunk fluke with this year's 2nd round pick.
-
Uribe needed to close the game out. That trumps anything Murphy did. Same thing happened 2 days ago.
-
I'm inclined to agree. I keep hearing that the Cubs can't keep the pace up offensively, which is probably correct, but that doesn't solve any problems as far as how terrible this offense is. Or the reality that we have a lot to look up at right now that isn't the Cubs, too. We have a major reliance on youth right now and it's showing. It's definitely an off year.
-
I think they were correct in complaining, ended up not mattering at all. There is no rule you have to run straight down the line and he has been running way outside from the beginning of the play.
-
We got a break on that call. He had definitely established that outside running lane and I am not sure at all that he was tagged, so if they hadn't called that he sure looked safe. And there it is - moot anyway.
-
This team just isn't good.
-
I was just about to make a post about how Durbin as an MLB hitter is just painful to watch...
-
Clearly has the day off. Like really off.
-
Agreed. His contract carries him through 2026. He enters UFA at 32, the age at which the Packers kiss you goodbye. The agent knows this and knows that he won't get paid at 32 by anybody either. Not like he would be today. Packers should stand their ground on this. Don't rework anything. He'll get pissed and leave in FA like they want him to anyway.
-
The first 5 days of the season don't tell you much about anybody. To be honest, seeing the Packers SOS ranking near the top (I've always kinda thought preseason SOS is dumb), they got really lucky with the shakeout of the games. They got a lot of the tougher ones at home, and I'd prefer playing these two really early in the year. I don't see a single game on there as unwinnable; for example if they had played @Philly I'd pencil that in as a loss today. I'm sure they'll drop games, but overall things are pretty favorable for them.

WIAA Passes NIL for High School Sports
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Samurai Bucky's topic in Other Sports
This isn't going to affect anybody in any real way other than LeBron types. It will keep them from facing consequences six years after somebody finds out they were secretly given a Cadillac. The WI HS state player of the year isn't getting a deal from Harley Davidson. Only the absolute mega stars will see anything substantial. -
Was reading about Nick Chubb and a clickhole led me to Emmanuel Wilson...had no idea he ran for 500 yards last year at nearly 5 a pop.
