    Apparently they forgot they were out of time outs. What a horribly prepared and/or coached team. DeFilippo is as bad as Norv.
  2. Mr. Brooks
    Yeah, let's run the ball down 4 TD's.
  3. Mr. Brooks
    I mean come on. I knew that play was coming, but this supposed elite defense doesn't?
  4. Mr. Brooks
    You'd think this team would have learned, after they sleep walked into the NFC Championship game last year. Elite teams don't do this. Elite teams blow teams like this out at home.
  5. Mr. Brooks
    Nice catch Waynes. If the ball was a spear, he'd be dead.
  6. Mr. Brooks
    And this is what I mean when I've argued in a more general sense that the game isn't played on paper. Either this team isn't as talented as we suggest they are, or Zimmer isn't capable of getting the most out of it.
  7. Mr. Brooks
    And this is what happens when you decide you've already won before you actually play the game.
  8. Mr. Brooks
    Through 2 games + 1 drive, this defense has not even been in the same ballpark as what I thought it had the potential to be, on paper.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    This is what I was worried about. Totally undisciplined today. Which has been a trademark of Zim's defense here, at times.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    WTH is Linval thinking there?
  11. Mr. Brooks
    Sherels and Morgan are also out today. Hughes will handle punt returns, Conklin will be TE2.

    Despite the hype that Fleck and his allied local media tried to pump all preseason, this team just plain old doesn't have the talent to compete with Big 10 teams, not even the ones in the bottom half. Maybe Fleck is a good enough recruiter to change that eventually, but let's not give him credit for something he hasn't done yet. I'd also be more tolerant and open minded of Fleck's style, if he would simply be honest about the process and where they are at in it. I get that he doesn't want to disparage his players, but when he goes out of his way to try to convince everyone that is a talented team, and will be better, then it's fair for me to hold him to that.

    The report on Star Tribune says that no injuries were reported, and police have said there is "no evidence of any weapons being used". So, in addition to the hateful nature of the post here, it also appears to be factually incorrect.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    The other side of the coin is that the Bills are still an NFL team. One that made the playoffs last year, no less. I'm getting a little apprehensive that they may be overlooking them, and already assuming a win is in the books. We've all seen that backfire a number of times in sports. That said, I never liked Josh Allen as a draft pick, so I'm hard pressed to find a scenario that he beats the Vikings. But, I do fear that it could be closer than it should.

    Payroll won't be anywhere near that again (IMO). The Twins have been on record many times as maxing out payroll at 50% of revenue. The reason it went up roughly 25 million this year was because they (along with every team) received a one time payment of $50 million (50% being $25 million) from the sale of BAMTech.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    Huh? What changed in the last 3 hours?
  17. Mr. Brooks
    Thanks. That's a data point regarding insurance that I hadn't seen before.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    If any prices go up though, it'd be MLB prices. It's the MLB teams that pay the milb salaries, not the milb teams.
  19. Mr. Brooks
    Do you have a link for that? Or remember where you heard it? I've always been under the impression that insurance never kicks in until the player has missed an entire season.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    Well it was clearly sarcasm aimed at the OP, who seemed to be claiming the Morrison injury is an invention to justify his poor results. Since sarcasm doesn't always register online, I'll state definitively now that I am not the one who believes the surgery was unnecessary.
  21. Mr. Brooks
    Great to see a good performance by Gonsalves, regardless of the opposition. Hopefully it provides him some confidence.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    Not to toot my own horn, but you brought it up. I predicted Santana was done as soon as the finger surgery was announced. But, I didn't expect the others to flop.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    And Dozier isn't even selling it as well as Morrison is, with his unnecessary hip surgery.
  24. Mr. Brooks
    All these same guys would have still been moved at the August deadline. Except Pressley, who still had team control. The only difference would be the Twins get a lot less back, due to being restricted to trading with the claiming team.
  25. Mr. Brooks
    Prior to last week (when yes, he was open a lot), the knock was that he was not a good route runner. That would explain why he played a pretty high amount of snaps last year, with very little targets. I don't think we should assume he's a good route runner based on one game against a young GB secondary. I think we are going to need to see a few more games of that before we determine that he's figured that part out.
