You're right, I'm totally dumb. I don't know why I was thinking they could go down 10. That tweet is spot on. Going down back at your own 9 (10) almost guarantees your worst case scenario is getting the ball back down 8 with a chance to tie with a TD and a 2 with still almost 2 minutes left. What a bizarre, but correct strategy. So unconventional I can't even blame Reid for not having thought of it in the moment.

Interesting, but a couple points: 1) No need to step out of bounds on a change of possession. 2) If you go down 10 you're pretty equally screwed so I don't know if that's really any better than allowing a 1st. Here would have been my idea: run all the way back and take a safety. You're down 23-20 and now you can try an onside kick from the 20. If you get it, you can tie with a FG or win with a TD! If not, you're in no worse of a position -- Lions would have the ball on the edge of FG range and you still have a chance to beat them if they get stopped on 4th or kick a FG.

Don't get me wrong, Detroit *could* win the division. Just don't think it looks any more or less likely after tonight.
-
If we're talking about the same play, looked right in his hands to me. As far as the 4th and 25, didn't really see a difference. Either way they needed a 3 and out on defense after, and didn't get it. Skyy Moore should have converted it, honestly.
-
I know what the narrative is going to be on the Lions after winning this game tonight, but I'm not buying it. The Chiefs were awful.
-
Toney is so bad.
-
Campbell's 4th down decisions don't seem to have any rhyme or reason. Just emotional decisions.
-
Looked like Mike McCarthy drew up that play.
-
I thought so until about 2 minutes ago. Who punts on 4th and 3 from the opposing 40? Did he forget that it's not 1992?
-
This doesn't get talked about much, but we traded two relievers who would really look good in our bullpen right now for Rowdy Tellez who has somehow made a long career out of being very mediocre. But yeah, poor move by Craig going with him in the 9th, and on Uribe, it just doesn't feel like Craig trusts him.

2023 Minor League Transaction Thread
adambr2 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
I hope Lutz was wise with his 2.5Mish signing bonus, and there is no sarcasm in that statement. There's plenty of reminders out there that no matter how highly touted, it's really hard to get to the show and many don't make it. -
The worst deal is the one that Arnold didn't make. Candelario was available and a strong offer would have brought him in. He'd arguably be the best hitter in our lineup without even stinging the system much. Given what he went for and who he ended up going to, hard not to say that not being more aggressive for Candelario was a bad miscalculation for Arnold that could very well end up costing his team the division.

Really dislike this. Was he just a total malcontent in Nashville or something? A few months ago, this guy looked like one of our infield building blocks, and we already are thin on middle infielders. A couple rough months and we end up basically just giving him away? Hate it. It Turang was impressing I would sort of get it but yeah...I don't understand this at all.
-
This is why the Cardinals are always out there on their own little island oblivious to the fact that the entire world hates them. Perhaps it is not 1986 anymore and we should no longer accept throwing an object at a high rate of speed in retaliation as acceptable going forward (and even it you do accept it as normal, what an asinine reason for "retaliation" in this instance.)
-
Is Brice Turang a Major League Hitter? How concerned are you?
adambr2 replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He's got a Craig Counsell type ceiling. Might be able to skate through and have a long MLB career on the strength of defense and positional versatility. I'm not concerned because my expectations weren't very high. Just one of those 1st round picks that never really lived up to the billing, while also not being a bust, because hey he did make it here. But is he ever going to be a core player, no he is not. -
Bucks couldn't really do anything else other than run it back with their core, so keeping it together with Middleton and Lopez was the correct choice. As others have said I think there's a 2 year window here to try to win another ship and then the Bucks are in for some very lean rebuilding years. They will attempt to keep Giannis of course, but I think his mind is all but made up to play out his contract here and then take his talents elsewhere for a change.
-
True, but foresight is kind of part of the job of a GM, no?

So I guess the only real difference here is that if Love is the guy, he gets an additional 2.3M in 2024 while they presumably work out an extension, and if he blows so massively that they have to move on after 2023, they save about 6.7M versus if they had just picked up the option. Personally if you're confident in the guy I don't know why you don't just pick up the option rather than hedge your bet like this. If they were going to go this route I would have rather giving him a little bigger signing bonus and tried to secure an extra year of control in '25.
-
I haven't heard/seen any extension talk on Love. Any links to this? I'd just be curious. An extension right now doesn't make much sense to me. Would think the Packers would want to see what they have first before committing. Maybe a 2 year extension after this year like you suggested would make sense though? A guaranteed signing bonus of 20M or so might sound good to Love and the Packers could potentially get some cap friendly numbers in '24 and '25 if he pans out. Maybe that IS the delay. "Take this deal or we're going to decline your option and if you suck this year you'll be looking around for a cheap backup job somewhere next year." In much nicer words, of course.
-
Still no decision on Love's 5th year option. If they aren't willing to commit 20M or so to him for 2024, in a QB market where Daniel Jones types get 40M a year, they are not nearly as confident in him as they've implied.
-
I'm assuming it's a near certainty that the Packers will pick up the 5th year option on Love. It's not ideal with the information they have, but they are pretty much hitching their wagon to him for at least the next 2 seasons anyway. May as well just go that route rather than do what the Giants did and miscalculate and end up paying more with no leverage on Jones other than the franchise tag.
-
4-7 would be interesting. That's about 64.7% but could wind up on either side of 65. My assumption is that they'd still go for it, they have too much invested not to, unless Rodgers was somehow so disastrous that they had a good excuse to switch. The Jets have a pretty good defense and some good skill players on offense so I doubt this is a factor though.
-
Well at 6-8 he's already played 80+% of the season snaps, assuming no injuries.
-
My guess is just no urgency. We knew the Jets had no Plan B and they knew we didn't have other suitors and weren't going to bring him back. So there was no reason for anyone to panic buy or panic sell a month ago. With the draft so close, the urgency was there. We didn't want to lose out on a top 45 pick this year and the Jets knew if we didn't get a pick this year this would get a lot harder to get done and we'd no longer have much of a timeline to not want to drag our feet.
