That made me feel a little better. Finally a special teams bright spot. It’s going to be sad when we have to cut this kicker because he’s done everything he’s been asked to do.
I mean, I believe you, and yes it’s his job to keep an eye on the play clock as he’s coming up to the line, no excuse. Just saying, it’s been an ongoing issue.
I didn’t see who was to blame for the timeout, but it’s true that it’s been a systemic problem. There were halves when you’d be lucky if Rodgers left you with 1 to use in the 2 minute drill.
Sure, but he’s notorious for poor deep ball accuracy, so it’s not particularly surprising.
I'm not opposed to putting the 4th down on Love, but the play call on 3rd to even put them in that situation was absolute dung.
I’m really glad the Packers play in the NFC so the Chiefs aren’t really consequential to us unless we reach the Super Bowl. I’d be absolutely sick watching them as another AFC teams’ fan and seeing how many 3rd and 4th and goals they get bailed out on with penalties.
Which secondary guys in particular do you think didn’t get enough work? It’s not like Koenig and Grant Anderson didn’t also get ridden pretty hard. Mears a little less so but that was partly because of the IL stint and he was definitely wearing down late.
But you can use your best relievers less often if your secondary relievers are better, I think was his main point.
I find it a little surprising that Miz never seemed to wear down? He threw his best innings in the playoffs. And we rode him far beyond what I thought would be his comfortable innings limit this year.
So I wonder if they are comfortable dialing him up to 170 next year.
Just as a matter of speculation, what kind of extension after next year do you think it would take to get Freddy to stay? 5 years/$175M? Not advocating for it more just curious.
I'd also venture to guess that if every hitter in our lineup produced the same ABs as Caleb Durbin in the NLCS, we’d have won the series, or at least would still be playing.
Maybe. But I guess I would still stand by my point that it wouldn’t make much financial sense for him to pitch for us for 20 million, when he can get 10 million to not pitch for us plus whatever another team will give him to pitch for them.
Gunnar would be a dream but I don’t think the Orioles would even pick up the phone. They will definitely see this past season as an aberration and expect to contend again.
