    Terrible throw. He had a window.

    3rd and 20 three man rush coming up. Hold on tight.

    Nice to see Gary more active lately.

    A defense that makes 3rd and long look like...3rd and long.
  5. adambr2
    That can't happen on 3rd and 14. 3 defenders waiting back on Hilton and not guarding the first down marker and attacking. You can't make 3rd and 14 that easy and now it led to a TD.

    Just the way you need to start in a game like this, by turning the ball over.

    In the most literal sense, it could have been better. I'm definitely concerned with the optics of how our organization is run lately. It's a poor, amateurish look. I remarked the other day about how the financials of the NBA are too complicated for me to ever understand. While that remains true, I didn't assume they were too complicated for our own professionals to understand.

    Agreed with Brew4U. This isn't a one off. That's 3 major contract blunders within the last 2 offseasons. People need to get fired over this. You have professionals within the organization who know every intricate deal of the CBA and how to maximize your payroll. Or at least, you are supposed to. This is an embarrassment; and worse, it comes at the worst possible time. Why would Giannis want to remain part of an organization that can't even control the things within their own control when it comes to building a winner around him?

    Bettors going very heavy toward Indy at that opening line isn't surprising to me. It's the exact kind of matchup that has been an L pretty much every time in the MLF era without fail, a road matchup against a top D. Indy isn't a great running team but I would still expect a heavy dose of JT tomorrow. A win in a game like this would be quite satisfying but at least let's have it be a close competitive game.

    Augustin is basically going to fill the old George Hill role. Portis has some upside. Nice signings. I'm still disappointed about losing Bogdanovic but I will say I'm really happy to still have DDV and our bench is filling out a lot more nicely than it would be on the other route.

    I thought he was already gone.
  12. adambr2
    I picked him up and plugged him right in at TE.

    This is a very good point. So few of these guys actually pull it off, and guys like Wilson and Mahomes ruin it for the rest when they do. QB is so much more important of a position now than it even was 20 years ago, and those guys get overdrafted in the first round too often, end up on crappy teams that have major problems, and are cast aside when they don't work out. The ones that really do succeed are ones that have a bit of time to sit, learn, and develop. Who knows what Rodgers is if he doesn't get that time from 05-07... Well, Mahomes only had a year. Murray , Lamar, Wilson, Dak, I don't know if these guys had any time at all and they turned out quite well. I think Rodgers is more of the exception than the rule. I can't think of a single franchise QB since Rodgers who got 3 development years prior to starting. Certainly he benefitted from those 3 years. However, these days, that benefit is offset by the lost years of cost control. I think that's why QBs are pushed hard early now. The minute they're drafted, you're on the clock, and you have 4 or 5 years until they become an enormous part of your payroll rather than being there on a rookie contract. The faster they become productive, the more you benefit from their rookie deal. I think the Chiefs and Seahawks Super Bowl winning teams obviously benefitted from having their franchise QBs on rookie deals (at the time), giving them more to invest in the rest of the roster.

    There's no plausible additional big trade coming. Our biggest remaining move is whoever we sign using the MLE. This does indeed suck. I guess I will resign myself to hoping that Holiday really is a big upgrade over Bledsoe and we end up glad we kept DDV.
  15. adambr2
    They might not stand pat, but I doubt they'll find a similar deal with a comparable player.
  16. adambr2
    If the problem was just losing out on the Bogdan trade in a vacuum, I would say that's not the end of the world and still be happy to have DDV. But it's also really bad organizational ascethetics at a time when ascethetics have never been more important.
  17. adambr2
    Huh?
  18. adambr2
    Yep, that's the thing. Just because Giannis signs a 5 year supermax, doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be here in 5 years. It would obviously be a great sign, but NBA superstars get whatever they ask for. If things aren't going great and Giannis wants to go somewhere else after year 2, he can basically facilitate that. Obviously you still want him to sign and it at least assures you that if he leaves, you don't lose him for nothing. Giannis not signing the supermax and then leaving in free agency after 20-21 is the nightmare doomsday scenario, especially after blowing up the roster and mortgaging years worth of picks.

    Final trial results for Pfizer show 95% effectiveness with no major side effects. Now seeking emergency FDA approval. As bad as things are, that light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter. Remember there was a time when we wondered if there would EVER be a possible vaccine. Even if it was, we thought it would be at least 18 months before it was possible. It has been done in half that time.
  20. adambr2
    This is correct. The benches get shorter in the playoffs. And as people have noted, you don't have to fill all 15 of your roster slots. Maybe the other side benefit here is that Budd will finally be forced to play Giannis for 40+ minutes in the playoffs and not cap him at 32. (I know I'm embellishing, but still.)

    I feel like I have a decent understanding of the financials of MLB, and to a slightly lesser extent, the NFL. I don't even try anymore with the NBA. It is way over my head, and I am a numbers guy.
  22. adambr2
    I think everyone really liked DDV and would have liked to keep him. Got to give something to get something. Bogdanovic is a really good player.
  23. adambr2
    He was a top 6 TE heading into last night. TE is a very tough position to field this year if you don't have Travis Kelce.
  24. adambr2
    I needed 4 points from you. Thanks for nothing, Jimmy Graham.
  25. adambr2
    Although to be fair, the Bears offensive line can't block anything. That team is a sinking ship.
