Rockies (Freeland) vs Brewers (Peralta): 9/8/24, 1:10pm
adambr2 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
Given that they optioned a far better reliever to activate Hoby again, I would say the answer to this is no, Hoby does not have something to offer over the next man up. Or even the next 3 men up. If Misiorowski or Yoho was brought up, does anyone really expect them not to outperform Hoby? -
My God the Titans suck. Nice work, guys.
-
Screw the Titans for putting the Bears in their place, and then pissing it all away and allowing Bears fans to now continue thinking they're a dynasty in the making.
-
Yeah I understand. I brought this up in the GT a few days ago where a few of us were saying Hicklen needed to go and were told we were giving up on him way too fast. So it was just a tongue in cheek response.
-
Impossible. No way would we give on Hicklen after just a few games.
-
I think what he was saying is that "articles" like these come out of the woodwork every time there's anything to speculate on and doesn't amount to any real journalism. It's no different than us speculating on our own. Sure, we can speculate on Ryan Tannehill, but at the moment there's no more substance to that possibly happening than trading for Zach Wilson or signing Cam Newton.
-
Jimmy G is pretty much a quality backup in name only. He couldn't even keep the job from a 4th round rookie QB last year. I'd definitely rather have Fields, but no way were the Bears going to trade him here. Someone like Gardner Minchew would have been awesome to have right now but of course he got to compete for (and win) a starting job this year so I'm sure that opportunity was more appealing. Taylor Heinecke was I thought a reasonable option that would have made a lot of sense. I don't get Malik. Every time I've ever seen him he's looked terrible and he's not someone with the tools to come run a traditional offense.
-
If we start 0-5 without Love, one of these things is true: 1) Our roster isn't nearly as good as we hyped it up to be 2) We grossly neglect our backup QB roster spot. Or some of both. Probably some of both.
-
Indy next week is an interesting litmus test of what we can expect without Love. They're not an awful team, but they're definitely one we'd expect to beat with Love, particularly at home. If we can pull it off, maybe we can turn that 1 win into 2 and end up handing Jordan back the keys at 2-2 or 2-3, which certainly wouldn't be devastating. If we get blown out of Lambeau...well, we're probably going to be digging ourselves into quite the hole to start the season.
-
There's a part of me that believes that it won't even be Malik. I think it's entirely possible that this is a development year for Malik and he was only going to be relied on in a pinch. If it's a multi game absence, bringing up Clifford from the practice squad as the starter in favor of his familiarity with the offense and system would not surprise me.
-
While definitely true, can we win any games with Malik Willis as our QB? Let's assume just for example that Love misses 3 games. We have the Colts at home, then at Tennessee and then the Vikings at home. We absolutely must win one of these, we cannot start out 0-4. My expectation really based on the opponent quality would be to go 2-1, but I truly don't know if Willis is going to be able to move the offense at all.
-
I don't personally think I'm being overly optimistic at all. I'm being what I see as realistic based on all we really know so far: - It isn't his ankle - They believe it's not his ACL based on field tests - They'll need an MRI to know for sure. Based on that being all I know and me not being any sort of medical expert, I'm anticipating a torn MCL with a multi game absence. But, time will tell and none of us really know for certain until they get the MRI done and release the results.
-
Right, but they would have still done preliminary field tests to at least try to narrow down a diagnosis.
-
I actually thought Philly taking the FG was the bad percentage call: Attempt TD: Succeed: Philly leads by 9, game over Fail: GB ball at own 1 down 2 with 25 seconds, need 65 yards just to attempt FG for win, not guaranteed FG: GB ball back down 5 with 25 seconds, need 70 yards for guaranteed win (if you take touchback)

Rockies (Blach) vs Brewers (Myers): 9/7/24, 6:10pm
adambr2 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
Blach pretty accurately describes how I feel about catching these games currently. -
What I'm sure is going on is that they did indeed do field test such as the Lachman test and based on their observations from that test, they don't suspect an ACL tear. With the disclaimer on that being, the field tests can be wrong and can't definitively rule it out, so we won't know for certain until the MRI is done.
-
There's not a very strong consensus among the MDs on X. Some strongly suspect ACL based on the video, others are downplaying that possibility. I'd love to just believe the ones who are on the optimistic side, but unfortunately we just don't know and all we can really do right now is play the wait and see game.
-
If the diagnosis is a worst case scenario ACL tear, there is nothing to do but look ahead to 2025. Neither Malik Willis nor any FA/trade QB out there is going to lead the organization anywhere promising this year. At that point, you might as well pencil in Willis as the starter the rest of the year, take your lumps and hope he can develop into a viable backup, and enjoy the silver lining of a top 10 or even top 5 pick to add to the roster next season.
-
2 weeks would be great but with Malik Willis under center that probably means an 0-3 hole to start the season.
-
My initial impressions of the Love injury based on the aftermath of it is that it is not going to be a season threatening, long-term thing. But that is nothing more than a layman, non-qualified opinion.
-
What I dont understand more is how your ST coordinator is not having a conversation with Nixon prior to the kickoff and saying "we need as much field position and time as we can get, you are not bringing this out no matter what."
-
It's not a great class. We'd go defense picking in the top 5, I'd think.
-
I also understood the "I'm not that upset part" last and I don't know how anyone can't be upset with what just unfolded.
-
We lost and Jordan Love might have suffered a serious injury. I get putting things in perspective after 1 game but I'm not exactly sure how things could have possibly gone worse than that first sentence.
-
I mean the line sucked, but any QB with even a hint of elusiveness manages to spin out of the pocket on that one and at least get a throw off.
