  1. Lions pass on a 45 yd FG to go up 3 scores and get stuffed on 4th. 9ers storm back for a TD.
  2. Flowers was the only one making plays too but that drive will haunt him. Lions looking good. Winning the battle up front.
  3. Except for the numerous examples where your statement is flat out wrong, sure.
  4. WGAS
  5. What was the league average for teams in this stat?
  6. They are definitely banking on internal improvements like Palencia and Little and hopefully someone else pops up. There are a lot of players in the system that could fill those holes, i.e. Brown.
  7. Well it's glaringly apparent the Cubs refuse to spend 10+ on a RP. Not that i'm complaining, just observing. I thought we might swoop in on Robertson. Hope we can get Stanek for 7-8.
  8. Boras did that for a client that had 2 teams back out of 10 year deals due to health concerns, right? There's a lack of interest in giving him 8 years but it appears that he might have multiple 5-6 year offers. Reading the tea leaves - 6/150 is about the max teams are willing to go. I've gotten the impression that he has multiple offers in that range. i think if he had posted some 5-6 win seasons recently teams might capitulate with a short-term, high AAV, but even credited as a 4 win season, I'm not sure his case merits that, Hoskins was effectively off the table when they traded for Busch
  9. You still thought they might sign Hoskins?
  10. There was one year where we signed Jacque Jones and that was about it
  11. Rough loss. Tale of 2 halves, couldn't close the deal.
  12. FTR, I do not believe players are greedy. I think some of them are slightly delusional.
  13. So Feinsand says that only one of the colluding owners has authorized an offer to Snell. 6/150 and he turned it down. Thinks he's earned a 200M contract reportedly. Sounds very familiar.
  14. I'm sure i'm not alone here, but my 3 sports idols growing up were Jordan, Payton, and Ryno. Payton's death leveled me. This is a really tough one to beat but some have! Really hard news to swallow 😥 Feeling my own mortality way too much lately...
  15. I hope they didn't need to see that to see that.
  16. Good players are not sitting because the owners are crying poor. They are sitting because their demands are not in line with reality. Blame analytics if anything.
  17. There's absolutely no way a team is going to give him an 8 year deal. Jed will go with Tauchman and PCA unless he dramatically drops his price.
  18. Why? The players and (some) agents need to wise up. Front offices are just using more pertinent data than ever before and they understand a player's potential worth better than the players do. They are projecting future production while the players and agents are going by the resume. Front Offices are also more apt to look at alternative trade options and internal options vs what's on the market, and unless it's a major upgrade, they're not gonna break the bank and their principles to chase a win. It's up to the players and (some) agents to adapt. This is the new norm.
  19. Does/do Waldron and co. know Eberflus?
