    I agree with you that it's bad info. Don't believe this. I've seen numerous smaller writers mistake the "potential out" listed for players on Spotrac as an opt-out clause when it is in fact not and then carelessly report it as such. It hasn't been reported from any major team source. Has anyone ever even heard of an NFL player having and exercising an opt out clause? Bakhtiari's contract, to my belief, runs through the 2020 season after which point he'll be a free agent. These 2nd tier writers from 247 sports or whatever else tend to just grab something they think they know and just run with it even when they really don't.

    It's an NFL opponent and as such should always be taken seriously. Just ask the Seahawks. This isn't like college football where one side can just athletically be a collasol overmatch for one side. As we saw against the Chargers, it only takes one bad day to look vastly overmatched by a normally inferior opponent in this league. The Packers should consider this to be a playoff type game for all intents and purposes because a victory here would carry them to the divisional round just like a victory in the wild card round would. Fortunately I think they will take the Lions seriously. I know these are very different teams than last year, but don't forget the Lions absolutely handed us our lunch in Week 17 just one year ago. If anything, I hope we're motivated by that.

    I agree, I keep coming back to Seager as a good fit. Throughout his career he has been competent against both RHP and LHP, so he is someone that should be able to start nearly everyday (assuming good health). It seems like their current roster construction has put an emphasis on raising the offensive floor, and Seager seems to fit right into that mold, with still having a decent enough upside to provide above average offensive numbers. He looks like a good match when inserted into their current potential lineups. It does seem like the contract (and team option changing to a player option) will ultimately be the biggest hang-up to overcome. I know the option is a hang-up but I wish it wouldn't be. Obviously I'd prefer it be a team option but at 1/15 it's less than the QO which he would likely get now if he were a FA. I think without knowing the name if we were told we were getting a 3B that had 2.9 WAR or more in 7 out of the last 8 seasons and averaged about 4 per season I think we would be pretty excited about that. Value-wise I would put Seager at least at Mike Moustakas level, who is getting 4/64. Seager at 3 years for less AAV is a better value.

    I'm totally on board with Kyle Saeger. He's underrated, has a really good glove and can probably give us 30 HR. I doubt he is going to waive the 2022 option changing nor should he be expected to. He had that negotiated into his contract for a reason. I'm still good with acquiring him. At the very least he'll leverage it into a larger buyout or other compensation.

    Nah, I've followed him for awhile. He's does miss on a few, but his track record is pretty legit. He's nailed a lot lately too. I haven't seen anything he's posted as a sure thing over the last few months not happen. It's pretty obvious he's got some pretty good sources. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the pretty constant patting himself on the back. A reputable beat writer would actually be on it if that was the case. He’s added no new information. He parrots what the main stream guys say and changes the wording and adds a detail or two. It’s literally no different from the “share homework” meme and it’s content people love to eat up. Have you met our reputable beat writer? I don't think I've seen him scoop a trade in his life.

    I don't think Hosmer has any equivalent in being a really awful idea.

    Sorry to hear that you're frustrated, Briggs. Hopefully it would be helpful to remind you that what you perceive on paper during the offseason isn't always what actually takes place during the season. If not, maybe it would be helpful to remind you that the White Sox haven't cracked 80 wins since 2012 while the Brewers have averaged over 90 the last 3 seasons. The most expensive player in baseball history couldn't even buy the Phillies a winning team in 2019.

    Strawman, not one person has made the claim that DS is perfect. Pretty close, they seem to LOVE every move he makes, or if they don't love it, they don't criticize it much either. All I'm saying is, it is entirely possible he totally bungles a Hader trade. It's also entirely possible he kills it. It's just that some people, no matter what he may get or any move he makes, will think it's great, even if it's really not. I've got to hand it to you, after a week suspension, some posters would have just either bailed or done some self-reflection on their posting habits, but you got right back up on that horse. Anyway, it's not yet possible to look at Stearns' moves this offseason from a position of hindsight. We don't know yet how they will turn out. What we can look at from a position of hindsight is the fact that under Stearns, the Brewers have averaged 90.3 wins per season the last 3 years. Most often, even under scrutiny, his moves have panned out well and this is reflected in his record. Not every time, but much of the time, and this is why he is generally given the benefit of the doubt on the positive side. And rightfully so. He's earned it.

    You guys should stop hanging up on opposing GMs all the time. Don't be rude. Just be open minded and hear them out.
  10. adambr2
    No, there's no reason to really be worried about the turnover part of it being more than a blip on the radar. The lack of offensive consistency, especially in the passing game, has been an issue other than the 4 or so games this season that Davante Adams was out (not claiming correlation). Winning the field position battle was huge yesterday in hiding that. It's big for this offense when they start 25 yards away from FG range and 60 yards from the endzone as opposed to starting deep in our own territory.

    Packers faced a very good defense and still put 23 up. 23 points offers no context. The defense consistently put them in good field position all night, as every scoring drive but one was 60 yards or less. In addition, the offense was essentially responsible for all 10 points allowed via turnovers. I did say they ran the ball very well most of the night. The ball protection and passing offense we saw in the first half is something they'll have to try to avoid in the playoffs. I am not saying the offense was terrible but they continue to be very inconsistent. The real story of this game was the defense. Hopefully they can get it all clicking in January.

    Nah they didn't hold back. Cook being out definitely affected them, that's fair. But our defensive front was in Cousins' lap all night.

    There was a lot of good from tonight but Aaron Rodgers was not one of them.
  15. adambr2
    Yeah Booger was a total turd in the GB/Detroit game. He was fine tonight.
  16. adambr2
    Fricken Booger was praying openly for a Vikings win. I don't really agree and I think Booger is generally awful. I thought tonight was one of his better/more impartial games.

    Wot
  18. adambr2
    Still gotta win a game next week. Don't consider the Lions on the road to be a given despite the record.
  19. adambr2
    Offense was good enough. The offense was good enough because the defense was just that good. The offense needs to certainly be better in the area of passing offense and ball control in the postseason.
  20. adambr2
    One of the most fantastic defensive games I've seen by the Packers in my lifetime. Really only one bad play and truth be told that play was just a really good pass from Cousins on one on one coverage.
  21. adambr2
    Really Mason? That shouldn't be a worry, but...
  22. adambr2
    Did it happen on the bus ride on the way to the game? Because that would explain a lot.
  23. adambr2
    I feel like they never have any success whatsoever coming out of presnap timeouts.
  24. adambr2
    A timeout prior to a false start?
  25. adambr2
    Get even 3 on this drive and you've got to feel great about our chances.
