Hopkins catches a Hail Mary to get the win for the Cards, while David Johnson goes on IR prior to this weekend. The ghost of Bill O’Brien looms large....

Seahawks seem to be coming back to earth a bit. Tough schedule in the west may be problematic for them.

Wow, I was hoping for a team-friendly deal in 2021 at least with the upcoming cap issue, but that cap number is monstrous. Bye to Jones, Preston Smith, etc. for sure.....

Three straight pressures for Gary. Very nice to see.

Bakh was more important than Jones in today’s NFL. Glad they got it done. I hope Bakh allowed us some cap flexibility in year one....

Back to back for the LBs!

Big play by Gary.

I was going to suggest that it was a mistake to run right rather than the stronger left side of the line, then realized that the entire o line was stood up.....

I agree that it’s pass interference, but can you truly reverse a no call by challenging whether a ball was tipped? Edit: Apparently yes?

Good play by the ST against that reverse return nonsense. I expected that to go for 40 because of our special teams.

I think I’ve got a 4th quarter dog walk coming just to lower the blood pressure, if nothing else.....

I think the WR 2 complaint has become so engrained in the Packer fan base that it’s one of the go-to complaints even when a guy like MVS has a great day like he has today.

Where? Because I think the middle of the front seven is quite bad. It's a medicore year from Clark and a bunch of dudes. The reason for that ‘mediocre year from Clark and a bunch of dudes’ is exactly what I’m talking about. I think that’s the result of coaching. There’s obviously a few holes on defense, but there’s a lot of good players that are underperforming. That’s coaching.

I know Jones isn’t in a ‘vulnerable’ position there, but I’m increasingly of the opinion that trying to tackle a guy solely with the crown of your helmet is a flat-out dirty play.

I LOLed at this tweet. There’s a really good point there- does anyone feel that this defense lacks talent? I can’t believe the answer is yes. Therefore, scheme and coaching would be the bulk of the problem.....

Sorry, again I think your logic, especially the second paragraph, is inherently flawed. No adjustment was required. It was just done to save face. Again, IMO. And you're entitled to that opinion, of course. I'm just a little surprised because I see you as a poster that is almost always rational and bases opinions on logic, not emotion. Wouldn't you admit that you'd likely feel differently about it if a Padres fan? It just feels like a little like some Brewer fans are sore about the adjusted valuation because they don't like the perception that the site is admitting based on the results of the actual trade that perhaps their grades were in fact flawed. Your premise that it was done to "save face" doesn't make any sense to me. It's not like people don't know that it was adjusted. There's no saving face. Everyone knows what the pre-trade rankings were. It's not like it makes them look better after the fact. It's not even like they did it quietly and tried to hide it. They were completely transparent about it. The administrator of their site literally even came to this very site to discuss openly why it was changed. I’m honestly surprised that there are people here defending the site and how they handled it, as the aftermath can only be indicative of two things: that 1) their valuations can be comically off, and/or 2) that they not only don’t stand by their valuations, that they don’t allow for the possibility that a trade can inherently be lopsided for whatever reason. Neither of those looks good. For them to come here to try and justify it was perhaps commendable, but that’s about all the credit I’ll give them on their handling of it. I’ve already noted that it’s a fun what-if tool for us fans, by far too many people take that site as some kind of authority as trades are discussed.

I think his first penalty was absolute garbage. But I do think that second call was legit and cost us four points.

Sorry, again I think your logic, especially the second paragraph, is inherently flawed. No adjustment was required. It was just done to save face. Again, IMO.

Saturday’s game will mark the first time since 1962 that both UW and NW will be ranked in the top 20 when playing each other. Crazy.

Quite the garbage flop by Jack there.

Amazing that no one in a three-man announcer booth seemed to understand that a twelve men on the field penalty would result in a offset. They seemed to think that because Sternberger wasn’t set, it didn’t matter. Terrible.

What I wouldn’t give for special teams that were just acceptably ok on a consistent basis.....

Super smart plan by MVS- I’m certain he made that cut back knowing the ref would serve as a quasi-blocker.

Sorry, I just strongly disagree. They whiffed on the valuations, then had to adjust after the fact to 'save face'. But, just IMO, of course. What are they supposed to do when they're wrong if they don't update their valuations? Just put an asterisk next the player noting that the value is wrong? Valuation adjustments can work both ways, right? Why is Urias’s value adjusted down vs. adjusting Davies or Grisham’s valuation up? Arbitrary. Also, sometimes a GM is going to make a bad deal. I don’t think it’s fair to automatically assume you had a guy like Urias overvalued when a quality GM like Stearns pulls off a trade. Just because one guy is willing to overpay and pay $18k for your car when everyone else agrees that the car is actually worth $12k doesn’t mean that the new valuation is $18k. It just means you found a sucker. THAT was the rations that the guy from the site fumbled with.

Three really rough calls by the refs so far. I can’t believe they called Robinson down there.
