We will just agree to disagree here. Analytics are a great tool, but not the gospel of decision making. The only reason Campbell isn't getting more criticism for that decision is because Jacobs dropped a TD pass. I suspect it would be viewed differently if it leads directly to a Packer TD and a seven point deficit with 5 minutes left in Q4.

I'm sorry this is 20/20 hindsight IMO. That was an awful, reckless decision which does nothing but reinforce my long-term opinion that he is an well below average NFL HC. If MLF makes that same decision, you and many others on this board, tear him to shreds for it. I've long stated that Campbell is by far the worst coach in the division, and his decision making yesterday is further evidence to support that stance. Being aggressive in todays NFL is fine, being stupid is something else.

This is a topic I've thought about a lot the last several days. I was a junior in HS in 1982 and didn't even come close to appreciating how special the 1982 team was at that time. I was an avid fan, inheriting the love of baseball from my Dad. I didn't attend any games of the WS in person in 1982, but promised myself I would go no matter what if it happened again. In 2026, it has happened again, and I will be there tomorrow night!! Unfortunately, my Dad is no longer around to appreciate this team, but he will be with me in spirit tomorrow night, along with my son as the Brewers move one step closer to the ultimate goal (hopefully) of a WS championship.

I agree with CheezWizHed opinion above as I thought May was a better matchup against SD than Gasser mainly due to Tatis & Machado. Against the Dodgers, Gasser is better on paper because of Ohtani/Freeman/Muncy but I still believe there is a 2-3 inning role for May in the NLCS. May has the ability to be dominant, like the first two innings in G3, but he does tend to unravel quickly so he should be on a short leash against the Dodgers

The over the top takes regarding Dustin May are borderline funny. I would guess not only is he on the roster, but he starts either G3 or G4. The Brewers believe in experience and the stuff he possesses way more than the posters on this board do. Was he great in G3? No, but he certainly wasn't the train wreck that he's being portrayed on here

I prefer the Padres only because the Brewers/Cubs are so familiar with each other. They have send Miz and Henderson so much over the season that it leads to very good at bats, and high pitch counts, for the most part. It's the same reason I give Philly, as poorly as they have played down the stretch, a decent chance to beat the Braves. I understand on paper the Cubs are probably the better matchup, I just like seeing a team not in your division if you have a choice.

I'm still here and don't think this team is as bad as they appear right now. I will freely admit the OL is much worse than I thought. I would place most of that blame on Gute, not MLF, but I'm also aware you would show both of them the door ASAP if you had that power

3 hours ago, TwinsBrewersWorldSeries said: He likely will not make our postseason roster (or atleast shouldn't). Looks like a 1 year/$2-3 million contract with an invite to major league spring training to me. I seen some pretty hot takes on this board, but May not being on the postseason roster ranks right up there. Not only will he be on the roster, he is most likely the G3 starter (with a short leash)

I'm guessing this will be not a highly shared opinion, but I strongly believe Dustin May will start G3 of the NLDS. I understand Gasser has pitched better recently, but May has playoff experience with LAD and has the arsenal that can dominate a lineup when he's right. I don't know how long his leash will be, but will be surprised if he isn't tabbed to start

I get people are emotional, but the irrational takes regarding MLF on here are really out of touch IMO. There is next to little doubt, he would be the top, or one on the top, candidates for a HC position if he was on the market. He has an excellent reputation as a playcaller and developer of QB's (Willis, Love). I understand why so many are frustrated with the extension, but the viewpoint many GB fans have versus the rest of the NFL decision makers are clearly not in line with each other.

I do still see 10/11 wins and believe MLF is an above average head coach. The opening week of the NFL is prime territory for overreaction. I know your dislike of MLF goes back a while, and that's fine, we can agree to disagree. I guess time will tell as the story of season is along way from being written

I just believe their roster is more talented than the last several years. Injuries are a huge factor for every team, every year. Unfortunately, the Packers have had multiple injuries to the top end of their roster (Parsons, Tom, Watson, Wyatt, Kraft,..) and I don't believe they will be as injury riddled to key guys this season. Also, not having Jacobs, for who knows how long (maybe forever), will force MLF to be more aggressive I hope. My biggest complaint with him the last two years is he is way too conservative as a play caller and hasn't given Love enough freedom.

I don't get the negative vibes on the Packers that many here seem to have. I see 10-7 minimum, probably 11-6. The stretch of games without Parsons is manageable, and, unlike most on here, think MLF is an above average coach.

I'll go with 14-10 in September, finishing with 98 wins for the season. I agree with other posters they won't get to 100 because playoff positioning will be in place for the last 3-6 games and they will rest guys for the playoffs

Josh Jacobs formally charged with two misdemeanors today. I'm guessing he will be getting a one game suspension from the NFL under the personal conduct policy. If he is suspended I hope it's right away as his first court appearance isn't until November.
