    If he throws it when he wanted to, which is the play design as Reed is simply blocking via a route, it is either thrown into the belly of the defender incomplete or an INT. Is this a bad throw? Idk...he is threading a needle between his lineman blocking #31 and the guy that jumps on the pump fake. On Doubs end he is behind the guy jumping when the ball is released. That rocket throw is halfway before Doubs can even register it is coming. This is a pretty tight window to be throwing into.

    The other night I had to order dog food. So I got onto Petco and by my surprise they were offering 50% off your first repeat delivery of that specific dog food brand (Purina Pro Plan). There was also no limit on size/cost of the bag...so the $90 bag of dog food costed $45. Idk...it ain't much, but the way prices have gone, it felt like a win.

    I was moreso confused why he didn't use the headlights on his car. Or did he walk to get the dog food?

    If we had a good enough game manager QB, I think we could have made the playoffs. It is kind of a miracle we are 2-4 and very well could be 4-2 or 5-1 if some luck would have broke our way. If you could minus Love and insert a decent game manager type QB...I think we are 4-2 right now and would win enough games to sneak in. A guy that can make accurate short throws, lead a team in a crunch, and not make epically dumb passes to clinch losses...yah, I think we could go over .500. Not that I really wish we had that situation. Fringe playoff team isn't really that exciting to watch.

    Yah, I imagine this will be apart of his decision making process. As a Brewer he basically has statue out front type support/love from the team. His job security is very very high. He won't get that same assurance in NYC. Cohen could fire him after a year or two and the Brewers might find a manager they love while he is gone. Then what? Bounce around the league hoping to stick somewhere? Be careful chasing the greener grass on the other side of the fence. College coaches, especially in football do it...and they realize that green lawn on the other side isn't so kind.

    Yah, construction costs don't help. I doubt builders have much interest building a house under 1,400 sq ft. Though most of those houses (at least around me) have basements with egress windows already on them and framed/pre plumed for an additional bedroom/bathroom. So that square footage seems small, but realistically, they are easily 2k+ sq ft homes some day.

    Glad I am not the only one who prefers some trees around. I just can't stand when they plop a sea of houses in an old farm field.
  8. MrTPlush
    I mean, that is pretty dramatic. Most of their remaining games are winnable. Lions and Chiefs are the only two I would mark up as auto losses. The rest are pretty winnable...and also quite losable.
  9. MrTPlush
    Yup, he probably would have gotten half the yardage on 3rd. 4th and 10 isn’t ideal…but giving up like Love did is even worse.
  10. MrTPlush
    Absolutely joke of a throw and he hurts his #1 WR as a bonus. Then doubles down with another pathetic decision to lose the game. Is Caleb Williams that good? We got some picks to trade.

    Welp, guess Love will actually have to do something to have a chance to win it.
  13. MrTPlush
    I’m not one to be generous to Love on anything, but I think that was a pretty good play on his part. Resisted throwing it into the belly of the defender and made a side arm ball catchable to his WR. Some may blame Doubs for not catching it, but that is a tough ball to catch when it comes at the wrong time in the route and magically appears around a defenders body at point blank range.

    An issue with the housing market I never see mentioned, look at new houses being built, they are never anywhere remotely close to starter home size/price. So even as we build houses, we are just fueling more inability for people to buy a first home. Houses are either being built at 'finally got debt paid off and into good paying stable jobs' prices or a huge portion are 'debt is gone, great jobs, dual income, either really wealthy or no kids' type houses'. I don't expect $150k houses to be built, but essentially every house in my area that is new build or close to it for sale or sold is pushing $100k over the median price for area/state.

    Marquette Basketball has 45k followers on twitter, Badgers have 320k followers. Marquette is a niche team/school. People need no affiliation to the actual UW school (not alumni etc.) and cheer for them because it is Wisconsin's team. Marquette is closer to being UW-Green Bay than it is to UW-Madison as far as following/interest goes.

    Bucks Brewers Badgers BB Badgers FB Packers Future Bucks - Bright Future Brewers - They have enough young pieces to be above .500 in 2 years Badgers FB - I don't think they will fair as well as expansion happens Badgers BB - I don't think they will fair as well as expansion happens Packers - I think Love proves to not be the guy and someone in two years is probably leading this team outside of him...and not in a good way. Veteran fodder as we try to find the answer in the draft. This is kind of a bold prediction as I am not sold on Love either way yet. But odds are always good the QB will be terrible versus a good starter.

    Well a $150million payroll average (between the Brewers and whoever comes to town) is $12mil per year in income taxes. $12mil for 20years makes up nearly half of that. Not to mention in 10 years the average payroll for home games will dramatically increase...let alone 20 years from now. $125mil for tickets sales ($43 average) at 2.7mil fans per year. Which again, inflate that ticket price over 20 years too. So yah, the Brewers easily bring in $500mil in economic impact over 20 years. You could probably get to that number through tax revenue projections directly at Am Fam and player/employee income tax. Let alone what is spent/built/done in the surrounding areas. Not sure what the Mariners situation has to do with us.
  18. MrTPlush
    Into what? Industrial? I mean #1 yikes and #2 those companies will want tax dollars to build there too.
  19. MrTPlush
    99% of the reason is the fact of how ticked people are over the last deal. Didn't really have that issue with the Bucks. Though some were pretty upset over the Bucks too...because of how Miller Park got put up.
  20. MrTPlush
    Do you really think it matters? The people complaining don't read the details...they just start complaining. $1 of public funds and they aren't happy. That being said I think they have done fine communicating it. I mean really, what the public thinks it quite meaningless. Not like we get to vote on it.
  21. MrTPlush
    I mean, one could use hindsight and make a mighty list of questionable decisions Counsell has made over the years. Of course some of those are serious hingsight and all of them we don't know what the alternative would have resulted in. It is impossible to know to what extent he has hurt the Brewers in the postseason. The reality is, he is the leader and the Brewers have been embarrassing in the postseason. Mostly in cases where they were the favorite or at least an even opponent. Why does he get no blame in the postseason but gets all the praise for the regular season. Postseason is random...to some extent, yes.
  22. MrTPlush
    That makes no sense. His winning percentage would be no different if a bunch of those games the offense scored more. They wouldn't be wins or losses. It could even be even better because the bullpen might be used less if the offense kept bigger leads.
  23. MrTPlush
    There is a lot of information on this specific deal etc....yet you decided to use past deals that are in no way shape or form similar. Also, yah, it would be nice if we didn't have to give taxpayer money to million+ dollar companies...but that isn't reality. We all will die with that not being reality, so vent away, but it is what it is. They provide value and they negotiate to get something for that. It is no different than you negotiating for a higher salary or threatening to leave for a different job. You would do the exact same if you owned the Brewers.
  24. MrTPlush
    Sounds like a lot of work for little usefulness. A) Because it won't cover even a sliver of players. So you will go to look and there is a 90% chance they aren't in there. B) The player I would most want to look up is either a prospect or some random they just promoted that I don't know anything about. I doubt people are going to be itching to write wiki's on those guys.

    Money is money. You aren't spending $10mil a year for results that a different guy could do for $3.5mil. It just doesn't work the way you are inferring, at least up to this point. If that was the case large markets would have already tripped over each other to pay some guy a crazy amount. Yet salaries continue to tank as teams realize these managers are mostly puppets. Bruce Bochy is barely on a Top 10 payroll team and he actually has proven success. It is always possible Stearns asks Cohen to just toss unlimited money to get Counsell, but I don't know, maybe Stearns wants to find a guy that hasn't been a proven leader of postseason choke jobs on a yearly basis. Usually, it isn't hard to spend your way into the postseason. The hard part is usually winning when you actually get there. His record in one run games is a direct correlation to his bullpens he has had...notably his closer. The guy had the NL reliever of the year four years in a row (Williams has a strong chance to win it this year). A stretch both of the guys that made up those four awards pitched back-to-back. He basically has never experienced a year where he didn't have a NL Reliever of the year candidate.
