    I think there has been visible improvement on the defense in Year 2 over Year 1. Offense hasn't changed that much. A couple players have broken out (Walker, Kekahuna, Anthony) because of opportunity this year, but I've not seen anyone that played much last year significantly improve on offense. I tend to think we are on the right track, but not as quick of a "rebuild" as we hoped.

    Love only gets his TDs in garbage time! Couldn't resist. 😂
  3. CheezWizHed
    But is it really any different than Rodgers in the last few years? When you are a franchise QB and make questionable decisions, people are going to call you on it. That and remember in-game threads are often "brutal" on hot takes. 😉

    True on Watson, but then he throws two more deep shots and punt instead of taking a few underneath routes and kick a FG. They were moving it, they had two timeouts, the 49ers were in prevent D... getting another 20 yards and kicking the FG was a real possibility, but Love decided to keep gunning on low-chance throws. Just poor game level decision making.

    I don't think people are saying he is a garbage QB... just that he could be really good and he continues to make poor decisions that keep him in that "good but not great" range of QBs.
  6. CheezWizHed
    Love had several games this year where he became obsessed with the deep pass and completely ignored the medium-depth routes. So frustrating and it keeps him from taking that next step as a QB.
  7. CheezWizHed
    Especially if remains upright as he goes in. 😉
  8. CheezWizHed
    JJ! I can't remember the last time we had multiple running TD in a game.
  9. CheezWizHed
    X Factor!

    Yeah, it was time for him to go. Hoby was starting to tail off last year. He was a great fine, but it is time to move on.
  11. CheezWizHed
    And to think, this was with Ohatani mainly DHing. Wait until he is pitching too. 😬 It will go up from here!

    I've heard this a few times and frankly I don't understand it. Why wouldn't we want our best infielder to play at the position where he can defensively bring the most value (SS)? Do we think he will suddenly turn into a pumpkin? Do we feel the need to continually bring in post-season awards (GGs, PGs) to ease the pain of not having a WS? Turang to SS really needs to be a consideration this offseason, IMO

    There are yearly ebbs and flows of views and now might be low. But mid-season when the trade deadline deals are flowing and the MLB forum is full swing, I think it would be pretty messy to have one forum. I vote to keep it. I was just debating if the MLB forum was the right place for all the individual salary cap posts... or if we could combine them all into one. Not sure I want to read each and every person's ideas on our salary cap...

    Yes, he has a $23M cap hit next year, but I can't imagine Aaron wanting to stick around in the midst of a NYJ rebuild. They most likely need to cut Adams next year ($38M cap hit next year and they save about $30M if they cut him). I doubt Aaron will even need to enter his quonset hut meditation chambers to retire or demand a trade/release. I'd be shocked if he was back next year at this point. If the owner wanted him benched in week 5, I doubt he will take him back next year.

    Rumors are swirling that the Jets owner wanted Rodgers benched prior to the London game against the Vikings. Saleh and the GM convinced him otherwise. Then Saleh was fired after losing that game without the GM's approval. Now the GM was fired. So how long does Rodgers actually have with the Jets?? I can't imagine he will take to being benched very well.
  16. CheezWizHed
    Yeah, Patrick shouldn't be a surprise. I'm pretty certain someone would've grabbed him for the 5th starter/Long BP role. He is certainly ready to play at the MLB level, so I'm sure someone would've grabbed him. I would assume he wasn't added to the 40 man last year is the same as Henderson's reason - they didn't have to. Mid-Season, when we were having the major rotation struggles, he hadn't shown enough to jump over others (like Myers). Crow would actually be a surprise add, IMO. He is coming off an injury and hasn't pitched above AA (and that was 2023). Not sure that anyone is going to risk it for a middling prospect. Shane Smith is the only other one I'd be curious about. Not a high-end arm, but one ready for a BP role. Those are the guys often grabbed because they are easier to "hide" if necessary.

    Jones is the better receiver, but Jacobs is clearly the better runner. I wonder if the last game will change how they use Jacobs as a receiver too?
  18. CheezWizHed
    I was wondering about this... why pick him up in Rule 5 when you could've had him for free? Also would like to wonder if he would be in the top 10-15 Rule 5 options... there are rarely more picked than that.

    So I wonder if Longo's firing was more about offensive philosophy, failed execution, or lack of improvement? Failed Execution: This would be an easy one to point to, but he started with zero WRs, TEs, an average OL, and had to play most of the two seasons with a backup QB. WR and TE talent was improved this year. Perhaps a bit more talent on the OL, but not outstanding either. Philosophy: Air Raid was certainly departure from the Alvarez, Bielema, Chryst RB heavy offense for decades. But the execution of it looked different than expected. Perhaps the backup QB constantly shunted those plans? Not sure who the next OC might be, but I wouldn't expect us to go back to the ground-n-pound offense necessarily. Lack of Improvement: My main guess here is that the team simply didn't improve. Felt like we were in neutral most of the time. Never getting better, making the same mistakes... We've had improvement from year 1 to year 2 by bringing in better players but I can't think of too many guys on the offensive side that have improved much from year 1 to year 2.

    I realize Jacobs was running well and he ran one in for a TD, but I still don't like running the ball 2x on 1st and 2nd down with 10 yards to the goal line. And I was also one (before the play) to want the FG. All metrics aside, it just felt like the better choice given our TD options (few) and Chicago's red zone D and the flow the game. I like the metrics, but at some point you have to know when to go against them.
  21. CheezWizHed
    Love's int was pretty brutal and game-changing. He now has 11 in 8 games (or 23 in a full season). He really has to figure this out. The game might've been easy but turned into a nail biter because of that. Doubs and Kraft mysteriously disappeared from the game. Not sure if Chicago was able to shut them down or if we just didn't have a good plan? Lack of consistency in the WR outside of Reed is frustrating. Watson got all the oohs and aahs because of 4 big plays, but Jacobs carried the team today. DL - we finally got to the QB that last drive, but I think we celebrated too early. Maybe less posing for the camera and more ensuring your teammates are likewise engaged. Nah... just against NFC North games. 🙄 I think the 49ers would have a harder time executing the same thing. I would assume we played a ton of zone given William's ability to run the ball. Thus wanting the defense staring at the QB instead of running with their backs turned to him.
  22. CheezWizHed
    Well, it's about time! I clearly missed it...🙄
  23. CheezWizHed
    I agree in terms of talent... but they've been lacking in execution. They played right with the Lions and Eagles...aside from their own mistakes (and not the type of mistakes the come from someone outplaying you). They need to play clean and they will be hard to stop.
  24. CheezWizHed
    A great year overall, but he really needs to learn to rest more. He ended the season as a shell of what he was in the beginning.
  25. CheezWizHed
    Nope. It is the offseason and the narrative can only be: We are dumpster diving Mark A is cheap
