    They had rallied to down 8. They had some momentum going their way, and that completely took the wind out of their sails and made it 11 again at half. It was completely avoidable.

    Another good Badger team that didn’t amount to a fart in the wind once the tourney started.

    It’s not just on Crowl for the end of first half possession. Why isn’t Gard saying something? Why aren’t any teammates yelling “last shot?”
  4. adambr2
    You know what would have been super helpful right now? Holding for last shot at the end of the first half instead of rushing a shot and not only getting zero but giving up 3 on a possession that you never needed to give them.
  5. adambr2
    Someone help me understand why they rushed a shot on the last possession with the shot clock dark and as a result gave up a 3 to end the half to stretch the lead back out to double digits when they could have just held the ball and only been down 8.
  6. adambr2
    Why are you rushing a shot with 10-15 seconds left instead of holding for last shot? Just so incredibly stupid. You had an 8 point deficit at worst heading into the half and you just crapped on it.
  7. adambr2
    My god. You can’t miss the first shot of a 1 and 1 yet again. That’s 4 points off the board in the last 2 minutes just from the stripe.
  8. adambr2
    Bricking the front end of a 1 and 1 and then giving up 2 reloads on the next possession is a great way to kill a rally.
  9. adambr2
    Nice defense. This team was way overseeded as a 3.
  10. adambr2
    Demin straight up shoves Blackwell right in front of the official who does nothing.
  11. adambr2
    Brick, after brick, after brick. The wheels are going to come off if some of these don’t start falling.
  12. adambr2
    Klesmit has had an absolutely brutal tournament.
  13. adambr2
    Lazy effort by Crowl on both ends going for loose balls followed by an awful bail-out foul by Klesmit. Going to be a quick tourney exit if they don’t start showing a little more energy than this.
  14. adambr2
    Honestly, other than the usual 12/5 line upsets (which has seemingly been a thing since the beginning of time for some reason), not much Madness so far in this tournament.
  15. adambr2
    Hard to pull a 16/1 upset shooting 20% from the line, Alabama State.
  16. adambr2
    Nice opening win. Someone is getting upset on opening weekend, you never want to be on the wrong end of the big stunner. Montana made a little bit of a push midway through the second half, but the outcome of this game was never in serious doubt.

    They didn’t even get an NIT invitation, though, so I don’t think that they were particularly close. They weren’t going to accept anyway. I never understood teams turning down NIT bids. Maybe for some programs I guess it makes sense, but for pretty much any Horizon League team, get your kids that experience, those postseason reps. Maybe the NIT wouldn’t be treated like such a big joke if teams took it a little more seriously.

    I’m really tired of taking projects in the 1st. It’s just a dumb strategy. You have these guys for 4-5 years before they’re going to get paid and you want to redshirt them for half their rookie contract? I could excuse this if the approach was yielding huge impact players by year 3, but that hasn’t been happening. By all means go for a project with huge raw upside in the 4th round, but not in the 1st. This approach was most of the reason why we had no choice but to give Jordan Love a big extension when the entire NFL knew that it would probably have been better to at least get one more season to wait and see.
  19. adambr2
    Honestly, Gute needs to re-examine his approach in the 1st round and the types of players that he targets early, because his 1st round track record sucks.
  20. adambr2
    Jaire is going to be gone. It’s as close to a foregone conclusion as can be, short of something drastically changing, which I’d put at less than a 5% chance. Even Hobbs was discussing him and Nixon playing on the outside this season with no mention of Jaire. They haven’t released him simply because there is no good reason to yet, there’s no reason to not keep seeking a trade. They are not going through this song and dance with him again.
  21. adambr2
    It’s just hard for me to compare 2023 to 2024 because they followed such a drastically different model. The 2023 Packers were one of the worst teams in the NFL at their worst, and probably a fringe Super Bowl contender at their best. The 2024 Packers were about as consistent as they come. Good enough to beat the slouches, not good enough to beat the very high end teams.

    I think everyone assumed we’d lose Myers. I don’t think there’s a soul that thought he was 1/3.5M bad and wouldn’t have taken him back for that at least for the depth. As far as assuming the O-line is better because Morgan has a year in the system, we always do this with our youth. We always make these assumptions that just because our players are young, they will get better. That’s why we naturally assumed we’d get better and contend for a Super Bowl last year, and we didn’t. And I know people will say “we went from 9-8 to 11-6, we did improve!” No, no we didn’t. We improved drastically from the beginning of 2023 to the end of 2023. We regressed from the playoff team of January 2024 to the one of January 2025. And I’m not saying Morgan is a bust and can’t play, but we have to stop making these blind assumptions that all this youth is going to cause us to automatically improve — it feels like that mindset has infected the front office and has kept us from going and adding anything of significance. Where was the improvement from 2023 to 2024 from LVN? Reed? Wicks? Wyatt? Heck, where was the improvement from Jordan Love? Also, who are all these players that we need to earmark for big extensions? Walker? Doubs? Watson? I hope names like these aren’t the reason we haven’t been very active this offseason, or we are going to continue to be a fringe playoff team rather than a Super Bowl contender.

    I highly doubt most Packer fans had even heard of Nate Hobbs prior to a week ago. The money he got blew his projections out of the water. Not that PFF is the end all be all, but Hobbs graded out at 61.4 last year … Eric Stokes was 61.3. I think you could probably make a pretty strong case that the secondary is in no better shape, no worse shape … adding Hobbs but losing Stokes and a depth piece like Ballentine. Look, I’m sure they feel Hobbs is a good fit for Hafley’s defense and I’m sure they have plans for him. I’m not saying he’s a bad addition. But if we’re honest with ourselves, come on, Nate Hobbs, Aaron Banks and Mecole Hardman are not moving the needle one bit from the team we saw in January. And if you want to say we can’t count Jaire from last year’s team, that’s fine, but then we need to do the same with Watson, because we can’t bank on him for this year’s team at all. On an offense that already lacked weapons, and we haven’t added any.
  24. adambr2
    Oh, we’re definitely worse. We will still likely lose Jaire. The pass rush hasn’t been upgraded at all. We’re pinning our hopes of that being anything to a 3rd year LVN breakout. Not likely. Love’s shiniest new toy is Mecole Hardman. Sad. Watson is very unlikely to be effective at all in ‘25 if he even plays. O-line is probably a wash. I’m the furthest thing from a “go out and sign every big FA” guy, but some moves were definitely needed, and the best we could do was a high price on an average guard and average nickel, and a bottom of the roster return man/#5. After the urgency garbage that Gute basically lied to us about after the season. Oh sure, I’m sure we’ll fix it all in the draft, where Gute’s best ever 1st round pick is a malcontent corner who has played half the games the last 4 years. Can’t wait to see what project we take in the 1st that we can’t expect to see take regular snaps until 2027. But hey, at least we can use the “we have the youngest roster in the NFL” excuse for yet another season.

    It didn’t have to be either/or. There is/was money for both. It’s hard for me to say exactly what I would have done because I don’t know what would or wouldn’t have been accepted, but I would have gone 25M/AAV for Godwin, which is more than he got to stay in Tampa. Kupp was also a reasonable target for what he got. Christian Kirk would have been a reasonable trade target. I would not have traded for DK and given him what he got. Yes, there have been losses by division rivals of course, like Keenan Allen for example but they’ve been more than offset by their gains, particularly in Minnesota. Detroit is already gaining a healthy Hutch back which is the biggest offseason acquisition of any division team. Stokes and Myers are the first two guys who come to mind as free agents who most definitely didn’t get overpaid. Myers got what, a year at less than $4M? Very surprisingly underwhelming market for him. We all know darn well that if we had given Myers 3/30 a week ago, 75% of Packer fans would have said, “man, way to go Gute!”
