Wisconsin Basketball 2025-26
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Jim French Stepstool's topic in Other Sports
Even so, it seems absurd they're unranked. They have to at least be 20-25. You can't tell me any of the teams there are better. -
Pretty hard to hate the addition of Franklin when Walker is as good as gone. Solid reliable veteran player. The Packers have a real depth problem on their lines though.
-
That's a fair take, ok, sure, he doesn't suck as much as LVN but he I couldn't care any less about seeing him elsewhere. I would not say that just getting paid less makes him a cap casualty since it is a bit more nuanced than that a lot of these salary numbers are just accounting magic that these teams know they're never going to pay. He'll end up somewhere, yeah. But he has sucked butt since signing his big deal, they paid him like a top dozen or so rusher and he ain't it. At best, he was an above average pass rusher. I do hope he is getting cut. At least it would signify this org moving on from a mediocre player instead of just keeping him around forever because he's makes them feel safe.

I guess we'll see but signing with his height and weight seemed super strange
-
The Pro Bowl 😂 😂 😂 Again - tell me what he did in his last 10 games. Not where he finished ranked after picking up Parsons's scraps. Tell me what he did when Parsons was hurt. When he was the best pass rusher on the field, like he was paid to be, like he was on August 15th before Parsons fell into their lap. But who judged his career anyway? He sucks today. Now. That's why this is even a topic. And don't say "cap casualty," because any club is keeping him at his price if he's any good as an edge.
-
If only sacks from 5 years ago mattered today. Look at last year's sacks. About 5 of them are because someone is running away from Parsons and into Gary's lollygagging arms. He was Houdini once Parsons got hurt, and about 4 weeks before that too. He 100% sucked last season. Historically. 0 sacks, 0 hurries, 0 TFLs is in his final 10 games. That's incomprehensible and LVN has been another gem. Though admittedly he's a different level of suck completely.
-
Gary sucks and it is hysterical watching the Reddit sub celebrate his release after YEARS of listening to it talk itself into this guy being some premier pass rusher. It is as if they never thought he was any good if you were show up today. This was obviously going to happen, but my goodness what a mess of first round picks this team has for the most part. It's a total dead horse at this point but I can't believe this brass got extensions. I don't remember a time being less excited for the upcoming season. Not that I think they're going to be 4-13 or something, but they are looking every bit the part of a 41-41 NBA team.
-
The Packers would legitimately upgrade their special teams by simply doing the following: -Fair catch every punt, and tell everyone not to hold because it's being fair caught. -If Whelan isn't trying to Coffin punt, hang it up and force a fair catch. That's it. Concede that we will never have a good return, which we don't anyway, and just eliminate the comedy of errors that our unit is completely, and things get better.

Brewers Sign Luis Rengifo to 1yr Deal
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Jastro's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
His glove isn't anywhere near the level where it mitigates what he is on offense, one of those blowy Gumby things that are always outside car dealerships. -
Brewers Sign Luis Rengifo to 1yr Deal
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Jastro's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'm thoroughly whelmed. -
The wrestler in me liked Durbin a lot. Very likeable hustle player but I think he probably had the best year of his career last year. Siegler meh. Liked Mysterio for what he was. Can we please do something about Joey Ortiz though?
-
I don't disagree that it can't possibly hurt them, I'm just nearly certain it isn't going to do anything.
-
5/5 on field goals and a punter that has pinned them over and over again.
-
It's because he isn't good. Relationship soured with the Nets and he had become a pain in the ass. He's just a shot chucker. He can score some points with Giannis out but he isn't going to solve any problems. This team is the definition of throwing doo doo at the wall until something sticks.
-
Awful game but if this were the Packers in this exact scenario, you'd still feel like a loss was the most likely outcome.
-
I think Bill was a jerk to a bunch of people and probably a bunch thought "He'll make it anyway but I won't vote for him." I think it's very funny he didn't make it.
-
I don't know. I kind of think this is a situation where really no one is to blame, chances were taken to appease the star, chances that usually made sense, and they happened to not work out. I go down the line and see a lot of revisionist history. People did want Bud fired. They also wanted Griffin fired. They wanted Dame. They wanted Turner. The only thing I think that would have changed the trajectory of things was retooling the roster immediately after the championship when Middleton had value but was still sort of an aging asset. Of course, that sets Giannis on fire, but he and Lopez should have been dealt then, or at the latest, the following year. Portis was a dumb signing too. The cornerstones should have been Jrue and Giannis, and they needed to get younger everywhere else. That's not a realistic criticism though.
-
or Schottenheimer or McCarthy or Harbaugh any of the long list of guys who "parted ways" with a winning record.
-
It's been the case for years that they should just name the team and move on. The last time I remember it being fun to watch was around the time Favre was winning MVPs. The game wasn't much even then, but the skills competitions with the actual best players were fun to see, at least when I was 10.
-
If our staff asked for Hobbs and Banks, all the more reason they should have been let go. I actually genuinely hope it was Gute.
-
None, that's why I don't really care. I think it's dumb to stress about assistant coaching hires. Their results depend on a million variables, almost all of which change when they get to their new spot. No coach will change the cap mess or lack of depth on the OL, the fact that we have the worst corners in the league, our biggest stars getting hurt down the stretch etc. That's not to say that this team can't compete right now, though. I personally think way too much has been made of Hafley, though.
-
Mahomes and Jackson weren't even in the playoffs and Allen and Jackson don't seem to be blocking too many guys from making the Super Bowl, so I don't know what merit that holds. In any case, they had an opportunity and maximized it, that's precisely what the Packers don't do. They had a #1 seed and faced Jimmy Garopollo and lost. They had a 21-6 lead over Caleb Williams in the 4th quarter and choked. They would have gone on to face Sam Darnold. I think they would have gotten smashed in Seattle, but they also would have had a path this year that didn't include facing any world-beater QB unless they'd played Stafford in the CG. I mean arguably their best team of the last 3 seasons lost to Brock Purdy in a game they probably should have won. I think we're well past being able to attribute what New England does to good luck or what GB does to bad luck.
-
To be fair I won't blame him when our defense gives up 80 yards of field in 90 seconds with a 3-pt lead. That was going on long before he got here.
-
I think the problem is that the Packers still walk around with a badge that says "Titletown" and "Best franchise in sports" when they are getting lapped by the Seahawks rolling over with Sam Darnold and the Eagles firing their entire staff, sending off their 1st round QB for a new one and achieving more. The 49ers, Patriots, etc. are also doing it with entire franchise makeovers. I don't want to hear the lame excuse that anyone got a "top pick" either. That is a guarantee of absolutely nothing. These teams deserve all the credit they get. The Packers are complacent to be what they are. THAT is the root of the issue. The problems they currently face are the result of bad drafting and bad contracts. When they have legit chances, they choke or suck. Is there another coach in the NFL who would kick a FG at 31-23 in the NFCCG with the best player in the world at QB? Go for it and miss and then at least we don't have to wonder if we would have scored.
-
It isn't 20 years though. For the teams mentioned it's 8-13. For the stability and QB talent GB had, it damn well should be better than 1 in the last 28 years. That's organizational failure. You can have bad bounces. Having them nearly every year you are good enough is a sign of something else. You have the wrong people somewhere. Did Ted Thompson really do enough to support Aaron Rodgers? Has Gute gotten enough from his draft picks to supplement the roster? Can MLF coach his way out of a wet paper bag? I think the answers to those questions are more telling than bad luck.
