NFC Divisional Playoffs: Rams @ Packers - Saturday, Jan 16th, 3:35PM

I'm surprised. I hoped to see Dillon today, but I figured it would be with us up 3 TDs late in the 4th quarter. Early appearance in a big game for the rook -

Starting temp is 35. So much for leaning on Goff's 0-2 below freezing record... -
I've heard of NY style and Chicago style... but what is Detroit style? Tastes like defeat? It's pan pizza, Rocky Rococo style. Odd. I've been in Detroit many times and never heard this. When I think pizza, I certainly don't think Detroit...

Yes, as others said, keep it short and to the point. Don't let them argue or bargain; be firm about the outcome. If you have HR, it is good to have them there to explain the benefits. If the person needs to clean out a desk or something, it is nice to have someone else go with them. That person can console a bit and diffuse any anger. I've not fired anyone, but I've done layoffs and been in both the bearer of bad news guy and the friend helping them clean out the desk guy. The process sucks all around.

But the recipe is unwritten... There's just a certain way pizza is supposed to be made. Anything else would be disrespectful to pizza. If my son is hungry, what am I supposed to tell him? If you make the perfect pizza pie and savor the smell too long, you shall be pelted with a tomato. And for goodness sake...ensure your apron is tied properly. Anything less is uncivilized.

I'm not sure how much of a difference playing slot vs. outside means in the Rams' system, but if I was their DC, I'd be working all day and all night to get Ramsey on Adams as much as possible. -
Didn't Eddie Lacy hire (or some former Packer) hire a financial advisor that ended up embezzling his money? Money is nice if you can manage it without it managing you.

I bet that pizza thinks it's WAY better than the other pizzas, too. But the recipe is unwritten...

I do wonder what happened to our hockey teams.... But yeah, in general, I think we are in a good spot. No matter what the rules, people will find loop-holes to exploit the system if you are ethically handicapped.

That is a bit odd... He was a DNP yesterday and 100% healthy today? For a rib injury that normally takes 1-2 weeks to heal? -
Spread or money line? Or literally?

Well, it wasn't that long ago that we were just happy to make the big dance. We have been pretty regularly in the top 15 and rarely outside the top 25. Lots of teams are jealous of our success (both BB and FB). I suppose we could sell out our university and just become an amateur sports complex like Kentucky or Alabama.
-
Because of his defense or because his bat plays better there? I thought his defense (by eye test) was good. I think I saw he had a positive bWAR for 2020, despite a 600 OPS, so I'm guessing his defense made up for his lack of offense. If he hits 750 OPS (as I'm predicting), even OK defense will play at SS. But I'm thinking he becomes much more average on D at SS.

Free Agent Signing Thread (Non-Brewers)
CheezWizHed replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
January 13th and still a lot of FAs available. Pitchers/Catchers report in just over a month. Games start in 6 weeks. 13 of the top 60 FAs have signed: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-free-agent-tracker-hot-stove-signings-top-60-ranking-as-white-sox-land-liam-hendriks/ Negotiations going like a game of chicken...who will blink first? -

Rodgers is 28-6 in when the game is below freezing. Over 13 years, that averages about 2-3/year, but it still is 34 games of experience. Plus, they still do live in GB at the time of the games and practice in it also. Goff has played in 2 games below freezing over a 5 year career. I agree that 30 degrees probably isn't going to be a huge advantage, but it really isn't all that common for warm weather teams to play in it. The Ram's playoff record in freezing weather is a meaningless stat...just thrown in for fun. -
I'll add that I think Luis is probably capable of hitting 300/400/450, so I don't think I'm even predicting that big of a stretch for him. A 755 OPS 3rd baseman is about average for the MLB and he was good defensively there too.
-
So the discussion of various utility infielders that we are busy signing got me thinking about what to expect from Luis this year. His numbers at the MLB the last three years are nothing to write home about and not significantly different than previous MLB years: 2020: 239/308/294/602 2019: 223/329/326/655 2018: 208/264/354/618 However, he was recovering from a hamate bone break last spring. And while he played, I believe most people expect a full recovery in a year - especially considering bat control is heavily handled by the wrist. I started digging into his MiLB numbers a bit more and he certainly was a different player - higher average and good walk rates. And he was typically 3-4 years younger than the competition. AAA: 305/403/511/913 AA: 296/398/380/778 A+: 330/397/440/836 He only had ~100 games below A+ ball. His results weren't great, but I think the about 430 more recent games is a better prognosis anyway. Going into this year, I'm going to predict a mini-break out year for Luis: 275/365/390. Thoughts? Luis

Weather can have a major impact to some. Skill athletes (WR/RB/TE/CB) that don't know how to run on snow and grass tend to be much more tentative. I'm blanking on the game, but we played on earlier where the other team looked like they were tip-toeing most of the first half. Edit- I think it was Carolina. And weather will effect anyone that has to hold the football. It is pretty well known about QB hand-size and cold/wet conditions (if not, just listen to Aikman brag about his big hands this week during the Packer game). Less impactful, but still some impact on RBs. And catching a frozen rock when your hands are cold isn't easy either. All the conditions effect both teams equally, but when you've done it many times, it makes it easier mentally to prepare for it and know some tricks on how to make it easier. I saw somewhere that the Rams were 1-7 or 1-8 all time in playoff games below 30 degrees. That isn't Goff, but just the team in general. -
And by the way, I did like Alexander, but I thought he was a slot corner. I thought Jackson was a huge steal just like you did. Though I still think he can play, we're just much better at CB than we've been in a while...and Alexander has turned into the elite cover man in the NFL. The history of T-Buck and Carroll makes all Packer fans wince when you draft a short corner.

Brewers sign Daniel Robertson- 1 Year Deal, $900,000
CheezWizHed replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
blame the rays for burning his first option his rookie year. had they recalled him on 1 september 2017 when rosters were eligible to expand, he wouldn't have burned his first option. people do realize that by signing robertson, it's now extremely unlikely that the club re-signs eric sogard, right? That's an excellent point. I give Robertson a LOT of credit for not being named Sogard. Meh... his parents really deserve that credit. -
The thin crust is quite good for what it is. The pan pizza is prepped by putting about an inch of oil in a pan and baking it. It is literally a donut with sauce and cheese on top. Mmmmm... donut pizza... We tend to like Jack's Rising crust for cheap freezer pizza (it reheats well too). Kwik Trip and Papa Murphys is probably our second for take-n-bake. I used to do Pizza Hut buffet years ago and it was good - if they kept enough pizza out. Pizza Ranch is our normal now - and my wife's favorite. If I'm going high end, I tend to go for deep dish. Eduardo's in Milwaukee was our college celebration spot. Either deep dish spinach or SMOG was my all time favorite. Overall, I'm not too picky - top it with everything and a ton of cheese - the crust is just the edible fork to get it to my mouth!
-
Ditka could'a taken them all the way!

Stupid amount of cheese for the amount of crust. That is the point! The new crust sounds interesting though. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

No way are they going to plug in someone that hasn't been with the team all year (even if he started for them last year) to start their first playoff game. Playing OL is a team activity and playing well with the person next to you is almost as important as your individual skill. Even if Veldheer is better than Turner (given Veldheer was on the Colts practice squad...probably not), but knowing the calls, keeping consistency, playing with Jenkins are all advantages to Turner. Turner isn't a long term answer at LT, but he has been decent there. I have to eat my words - after playing poorly at RG last year, he has looked much better at RT and even passable at LT. I thought for sure he'd be an option for cuts to save salary cap next year, but he has earned his salary this year.
