Looking like a typical Vikings game. Win by 1 point, 10-9 or something like that.
-
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess the bolts are ok sucking and getting nothing for their aging players.
-
I know it’s part of the deal being an NFL player, but I look at that footage of Simmons and I think to myself, man that would be disorienting to be on a team and a couple days later you’re practicing with a new one, getting ready for a game in a couple days.
-
There's a fair chance that the Bears think Mack has fallen off enough that he's not worth a pick. With Gordon back they are getting some additional pressure. I'm just speculating but that could be part of the calculation as well.
-
Bro, if you’re going all-in then go all-in.
-
I hadn’t considered that. You could be right.
-
Nobody’s worse than JJ. Wright’s not good but he’s an improvement and for some reason played his best football in DA’s scheme. I’d love him back, but with tempered expectations. We are in “warm bodies” mode in the secondary. If nothing else Wright is plug-and-play and that’s got value in and of itself. It’s not a matter of JJ needing excuses. He’s bad. His speed is gone. It’s not coming back.

If it was up to Nahson, he'd just ask for a plane ticket Sanborn's playing
-
Way too much.
-
Moments after winning it all he’s thinking about the Cubs. Weird.
-
He's 29, so obviously you'd love to hit on a stud DL in the draft rather than have to spend 2 picks to get an older one. Be that as it may, the DL is such a glaring hole on this team and something had to be done. At least Poles went for it all-in. Landed the biggest fish. Hopefully it pays off but the logic is sound.
-
Unknown. A fantastic year with 17 sacks in 2023. Production down in 2024. Injury shortened season last year. I think you pick up Mack hoping he can regain some past glory.
-
My first thought is that two 1sts in the lower part of the round is a fair price for a proven DL. You have to pay for talent like that and over the past few drafts we haven't been able to turn picks into a Simmons-type player. I agree with Wilson. Let's complete the deal with Mack and Wright. Wright is begging to come here. Get him. He knows the D.

It strikes me that Megill is the most "Cub" reliever they have. He's nowhere near as effective as a guy like Ashby. His numbers are really good though. It just feels like he's teetering on the edge. But for now, he's on top of the world. The saddest thing for me today isn't that the Brewers won the World Series. It's that they have the secret sauce in place, we don't, and we don't have the leadership team to catch up. Even if we did, it would take years for that to filter through our system and into the majors. Nobody else in the division has it either, but it sucks that the Brewers figured this out, and it's not a one-off, Milwaukee is the smallest market, dependent on the government just to exist ($1.1 billion and counting), and they've been winners for years in the current system. I'm still for a common financial framework among teams. But the argument that a salary cap is needed because small market teams "can't compete" is in the dumpster at this point.
-
Yes. It was mild compared to others. Back here is Wisconsin though you could almost feel the entire state erupt. It was definitely a major party at American Family Field.
-
Since he’s talking about what the fans should do, maybe we ought to remind him that “we” also have a ring…
-
I honestly wish Hoyer had shown himself the door years ago. He’s not going to compete with these guys. He’s not on this level. Not even close.
-
Oh boy. Did he just do that? I wouldn’t mind having him for another round. Can’t be worse than JJ.
-
The 1st rounder they would get in return is likely to be pretty late in the round. I would think they'd ask for more. But ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
Yeah, it's mostly fans. There are plenty waiting for Caleb to fail. It feels desperate to me at this point.
-
The Brewers also get the taxpayers to help them out.
-
I live in Wisconsin and believe me when I tell you, there are plenty of naysayers here!
-
My god Wisconsin fans are soft. One thing doesn't go their way and you can feel the depression wafting through the TV screen this morning. Murphy did the right thing. Don't burn Miz trying to hold that one run lead. Take Ashby out after 30 or so pitches. If you shoot those bullets and still lose, you don't get them back.
-
The fans were right there, standing in the street.
-
I’m gonna guess Murphy does not let Drohan throw another pitch in this series.
