  1. It felt that way in the moment with Burden leaving the game. It’s a concussion so hopefully he’ll be back for the saints game with an extra week to clear protocols, so there’s that.
  2. They’re a much better team than their record says. Their strength of schedule and point differential, with mayfield missing 4 games (he’s better than Daniels) isn’t a team you should expect to blowout.
  3. Blueberry has been bad, when is our day 1 ready 24 YO center going to step in?
  4. It would feel less empty if the norths last place team wasn’t 6-3, coming off of a 45-27 win over the patriots on the road, and you’re 1 loss away from last place.
  5. That was a really empty win.
  6. Is someone tipping plays?
  7. Bucs know what plays are coming.
  8. Jaylon has better hands than Rome.
  9. It’s the Same one step forward one step backwards approach year after year. Maybe they’ll win 88 games with a +70 run differential instead of +125.
  10. Where’s internal depth to supplement a rotation with Skubal and Morjeran at the price they to stay under the cap? This isn’t 2016 with Arrietta, Hendricks and a bunch of 23 YO position players on pre arb deals. I’m expecting 3 Jack Flaherys, 1 Dustin May and an assortment of experimental corner outfield bats. Prove me wrong, Jed/Tom.
  11. Suzukis raw power and ability to hit velocity will be badly missed. The Cubs crushed finesse pitching and losing his bat sucks as a guy who can run into a misorowski fastball and cut a homer through the Wrigley wind.
  12. As long as it’s a salary dump.
  13. Yeah. That doesn’t tell us anything relevant. And more often than not you play good teams on primetime because it bring networks more viewers. If there’s a trend of teams losing as home favorites playing their third primetime game in a row, then, it’s probably still noise.
  14. Who was favored, was it a home or away game and who played?
  15. Yes. But obviously they’ll ll need to supplement the outfield with veteran buffers and the question is who.
  16. It depends on what Ward wants. I’m not too hot on counting on Ramirez or Alcantara as +outfield platoon bats without a buffer, which Conforto may or may not be (he’s up and down every year) and his defense isn’t great if he has to play the outfield. Ward makes some sense, and he didn’t exactly price himself out of affordability either. But they’ll need a lefty too.
  17. I wonder if Conforto’s swing adjustments will stick for another year. He’s been up and down over the last 4 or 5 seasons and is going to turn 34. But this all depends on what he can get on the open market. A corner outfield comprised entirely of platoon bats is a possibility with the market.
  18. It’s a combination of Seattle missing their starting left tackle and Sweat being able to win one on ones with Simmons drawing all of the attention. Sweat has always been a great number 2 who has been asked to anchor a bad d line and that’s just not who he is.
  19. Was this win more significant than last year at Philadelphia? Albeit were less than halfway through the season so if Seattle finishes with a near 500 record then this win isn’t as impressive, but nothing to scoff at either.
  20. This team hasn’t had an explosive run in a month.
  21. First 200 yard passer versus Seattle since the NFC championship.
