1982 is all Brewer fans will ever have to celebrate. Too bad it was 42 years ago.

Even if we do, same ending.

Win or go home. I guess we don’t have to travel very far.

Bad back, too much bending down.

Maybe only 7. OK?

We need 8 more of him. Then maybe we win a WS.

Their hitting has failed since the end of August. They have no clutchness (if that’s a word?)

From a fan’s perspective, Yes. However, the fan is only a very small part of the equation. Baseball is in the entertainment industry and all that really matters to the most important people of a team is making as much money as possible. This group would include the owners and believe it or not the BALLPLAYERS. If winning a World Series was most important why woulddn’t Attanasio sign Burnes, Adames, or every other free agent he possibly could….cuz tha almighty dollar and profit overrides everything else.

Stupid!

It seems like Murphy is attempting to reduce fan expectations.

I’ve seen this story before. Like 4 times the past 5 years. Same old, same old.

Another March 2024 prediction thread

There has been much discussion with Quay Walker’s performance this year (not to mention his entire NFL career). Here are some opinions made by NFL sites. Lombardi Ave After two games, Walker ranks 86th among 110 linebackers in Pro Football Focus' defense grades. The former first-round pick has made a disappointing start to the season. Per PFF, Walker has already missed four tackles while allowing eight completions on 11 targets for 76 yards and a passer rating of 91.5. PACKER WIRE Bottom 5 defense 1. LB Quay Walker: 40.1 2. DE Kingsley Enagbare: 43.7 3. DE Rashan Gary: 45.5 4. DE Lukas Van Ness: 47.2 5. DL Kenny Clark: 48.6 Walker missed two tackles, gave up four catches in coverage and was poor against the run overall A-Z SPORTS (Wendell Ferreira When Quay Walker was the first of two first-round picks for the Green Bay Packers in 2022, much of the discussion was around positional value. After all, even if Walker ended up being a good player, it would be hard to justify a first-round pick on a player whose position is one of the least valuable in today's NFL. You can think whatever you want about this topic, because based on how bad Walker has played to start the season, the positional value discussion doesn't even matter. Over the first two weeks of his third season in the league, Walker has been more of what he had been, and it's getting hard to justify a starting spot. Andy Herman, who covers the Packers for Pack A Day Podcast and Packer Report, grades every player on every play. Based on his evaluation, Walker is the worst of the four Packers off-ball linebackers with a significant number of defensive snaps, behind Eric Wilson, Isaiah McDuffie, and rookie Edgerrin Cooper. By PFF, Walker is slightly ahead of McDuffie, but still behind Wilson and Cooper by a large amount. Lack of improvement When Walker was drafted, he was mostly perceived as a developmental player. It was another one of these Packers' projects, getting a physical outlier to develop them within the structure of the franchise. However, Quay Walker is in his third season in the NFL, the second to last of his rookie deal, and it's hard to see any improvements. His 48.3 PFF grade is the worst of his NFL career so far. Also the worst of his career are his coverage grade (52.3) and by a significant margin his tackling grade (37.1). Some fans on social media suggested Quay Walker could move to edge rusher, but his pass rush grade (56.4) is also his worst in the league. On Sunday, Walker dropped an easy interception who would've ended the game. "Quay is sick about it," head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday about the play. "There's no doubt about it. He's beating himself up pretty good about it." Through two weeks, Quay Walker missed 18.2% of the tackles he tried, an awful number compared to the 6.6 rate he had in 2023. A big issue for Quay Walker has been his role within the defense. Throughout his career, he has been better as an instinctive player. When he has to think too much, problems start. Without De'Vondre Campbell, there was an expectation that the Packers would add another middle linebacker. But that didn't happen. Green Bay selected Edgerrin Cooper in the second and Ty'Ron Hopper in the third, and they are mostly weak-side linebackers just like Walker. The inexistence of a real middle linebacker on the roster forced the Packers to use Walker there, a role that includes the green dot to receive defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley's calls and passing them to his teammates. Perhaps, putting Walker again in the position that fits what he does well is a last possible try to take something out of him. Maybe it won't be enough, but the situation as it stands is just putting the entire defense in an unfavorable position.

He can’t get off blocks, he can’t tackle, he’s not very strong and his football intellect is very poor. But other than that…?

I’ll quote dozens of BF posters, “They aren’t winning because of him but rather in spite of him.” No way are they winning because of his superior managerial decisions.

How can someone who has spent his entire life managing (in some role) 1000s of baseball games consistently make boneheaded decisions on a regular basis? Someone please answer this question for me.

I’m so sick of Murphy’s in-game managerial decisions, especially when it comes to pitchers ( and lineups).

The Brewers haven’t won in extra innings in like forever. Hard to believe they are 6-8 (soon 6-9) in extras.

Good idea Brian. We need to find a way to get it to Pat.

You must be watching a 1962 Packer game replay.

Run defense is horrendous. This defense never changes.

Willis is going to have throw downfield. It seems the Colts have figured out the run game.

Brent Favre’s best friend…LOL.

Greg Counsell does…
