I wasn't suggesting Giannis isn't playing well, just that he's at the age where is not likely to get any better and the slide is going to start sooner than later. And he knows this, so there's not a lot of patience left. He is most likely a lot to blame for where they are right now, but it's a player-driven league and he knows that his best chance at a championship is now. So the exit seed is likely in his head.

I don't think this recent stretch is concerning on its own, a bunch of tough road games in a time of upheaval and injury, but it's just hard to feel good about anything that's happened this year. There's time to figure it out but it's hard to shake the vibe that this is just an old team with its superstar teetering on the beginning of the end. There's always that team that's hovering around contention but everyone knows they aren't really good enough. I think that is what we have now and it feels like they're a year or two out from Giannis asking out and a blowup.
-
I'd rather the Bucks show up as a 3rd or 4th than #1 and get worked again. They'll be in the playoffs. All that matters is they figure out some defense between now and May.
-
I like it a lot. He's got a ton of experience but is still a young up and coming coach and we avoided getting some retread name like Doc Rivers.
-
50/50, but I think that's still part of the reason I kick it. I don't think the 21 points is that much greater than 17. If he misses, it shouldn't be the end of the world either...but the odds he makes it are at least OK and I think the 3-possession lead is important enough to kick. Now if we were up by 3, I'm going for it. Like I said though...I don't think it's this end of the world, brain-dead decision people are pretending it is. They should have won the game regardless. Just still hard to look past what a tide-turning point in the game it was.
-
The first field goal he didn't kick was from the 28. Their guy is not strong legged, but I still kick that one to regain a 3 possession lead, on the road in the second half. I don't think it's an absolutely crazy decision but I definitely would have kicked it. I would have made the same call he did on the second one. I don't think a FG does much of anything for you in that situation. So you tie the game and give the ball back to SF, who you haven't stopped once all half. If you do convert and go up 4, there's maybe a chance you keep them out of the end zone and they settle for 3 or you get the ball back by way of a fumble or whatever and you're ahead. It forces them to remain aggressive though because they're losing. Higher chance of mistake, and less comfort in running those 7 minutes off when there's no guarantee of getting a touchdown. It keeps the pressure on them. So I totally get that call.
-
I don't think so either. Mainly because I think GB is about to sit on the throne again for most of the next decade.
-
There was a quicksand feeling immediately after the failed 4th down conversion though. One thing after another. There's a completely different feeling in the air if they go back up 17 and a commercial break vs. a 4th down stop and the crowd roaring again. Nobody knows how that changes the sequences after obviously, but having that 3 points may have influenced the second decision to go for it too. It was a huge moment in the game and a decision that just didn't make a lot of sense.
-
It's a no brainer to pull for KC. Mahomes is likely to end up as the best to ever play QB. There's no harm in him winning it again. SF? Puke.
-
Having to use that timeout is just a killer though. I don't think you can let that happen.
-
The first one was egregious. The second one not nearly as bad. Was a long FG and the way things were trending I think the Lions had to get 7 and retake a lead. Just tying the game with 7 minutes left, IF you make the kick, IDK. I definitely understood that call. Didn't understand the first one at all.
-
I would have gone for that one. Tough break.
-
I'm still not sure what outcome I want. I think ultimately a divisional team winning the conference is bad. But I do not like SF, the fans or this team, at all.
-
Yeah I did not get that call. I always kick the FG if it extends the lead a possession or takes you from 5 pts to 8pts up or something. The benefit of going up 21 instead of 17 just isn't worth it.
-
I think they are close to the same team on paper with the major difference being that Love looks like the potential next big thing and their guy is Jared Goff. As we know all too well there are more positions than QB though. Personally I feel that GB is better positioned for long term success than DET, almost solely because of the QB position.
-
Lots of guys were 1st overall picks. Goff was throw in to make Stafford's salary work out. He's had a nice second wind in DET. He's good, he's ok. He's probably not a top 10 QB.
-
Ehhhh, I am not as sure. Goff is Goff. This was probably his best season. But he's the kind of guy totally capable of a 20/12 season at random. I could totally see them looking for a new QB in two years. Honestly, I don't think they thought they'd get this out of him when they traded Stafford. Regardless of how these playoffs unfold, I think plenty of odds makers will have GB as the favorite.
-
FWIW I think Maholmes runs away with it and I think he would have had the Packers made it. Yeah the Packers did beat DET and KC but this would have been a completely different situation. They could have, but I wouldn't have thought either the NFCCG or SB to be gimmes. That said, you're correct, exactly what I was saying last week amid all the "they're so young!" positivity. This year turned out to be a chance as good as any other they've had since 2010. In the end, they lost a game they dominated most of the night and the squandered gifts in their lap were the reason it was close.
-
If the Lions win this game they certainly deserve it. Scoring inside the 20 and catching interceptions, two things the Packers couldn't do. Oh, and Purdy stinks. The guy is such a fraud.
-
Lions so much tougher than us inside the 15 offensively. Didn't feel like we could ever hammer it in. And I thought I could do it, but I can't get myself to hope the 49ers win.
-
Yeah I'm still not seeing how this relates to the fact that right now, today, his job is what it is, and we're talking about potentially being an NFL DC. My sole point is that if he had some highly desired position right now, it stands to reason that he would have an incentive to stay where he is. That is why his current position is relevant. If he were the Badgers HC, he's not even in the conversation. I'm confused as to why this is a controversial point.
-
Correct, we don't know that. We do know that JL pulled out of the job because he loved UW and wanted to be there. By that time, early 2021, the whispers were going around that Chryst's seat was getting warmer. He ended up fired in the fall of '22. It's fair to suggest JL had no idea if his chance to be a HC there would be any time soon, but safe to say he badly wanted the job and he had to know that some boosters were already growing tired of PC. I'll be the first to say I don't have a clue about JL or what he would want to do in the NFL. Personally I am hoping they snag someone with very recent NFL pedigree. I'm always sort of ambivalent about their unit's ranking and team success as I think so much of that is player personnel. I just hope they get this right because it could get them to a Super Bowl in the next 2 seasons.
-
Is that a real question? I think his current position, and anyone's current position, is valid to a potential job offer. I think it's quite a bit easier to move him from assistant Illinois to GB DC vs, he's a HC at Iowa (or a DC at UW) and we want him to DC. Weird question. On point 2, I think that's pretty disingenuous. Maybe Leonhard was naiive, he probably was, but I think it was pretty obvious that one reason he turned down GB the first time was that he thought he was being groomed to run the show at UW. Safe to say that when they didn't bring him on after interim duties that he was heartbroken. And I couldn't care less about UW or JL, it's just reality.
-
I just can't believe anyone would prefer Illinois assistant whatever he is to NFL DC. I guess someone would, but I wouldn't understand why. WI turned its back to him, GB would give him a fast track to NFL HC if he wants it.

Giannis scribbling plays on paper during a game. Players calling their own plays in crucial moments.
