    Not a fan, but I wouldn't hate it either....but I don't see any of them as difference makers (so how are they better than what they have?).
  2. Mike Sixel
    Proving "the playbook is hard to learn, so we shouldn't make trades" theory to be bunk. He played nearly every snap yesterday (and was the best TE they've had in years, by far).

    I'd guess Ryan routinely goes 100ish pitches. Gray, when healthy, goes 6 innings. Other than that? I don't know what they'll do with Varland, Ober, and SWR (and the returning injured vets). Before they dealt for Mahle, I suggested trading for him and making him a 2 inning RP that came in during the 6th inning after Archer or Bundy pitched. I wonder if he's more or less likely to get hurt that way.

    I too would like KOC to adjust better, but it is his first year so I'm not too worried ..... The OL nearly got Cousins killed, and watching the highlights on YouTube, there appeared to an awful lot of catchable passes on 3rd down that were not caught. A couple of those get caught, and the official doesn't gift WAS a TD, and this game isn't close, imo. None of it has been pretty, but they are 7-1. I don't like their odds the next few weeks, but they should win at least 5 more games. Seattle might pass them for the second seed, but there isn't much competition at the top of the NFC.

    You think they were showcasing Berrios from the beginning of the year? You think in 2019 and 2020, that they had the same philosophy? Archer was never ready to throw that many pitches. Bundy wasn't good enough. Ryan was a rookie and got sick. Gray was hurt on and off. Which pitcher did you WANT to go thru the order three times or more? There was an entire thread about how this was NOT their philosophy before this last year.
  6. Mike Sixel
    This wasn't their philosophy before this year. Maybe with healthy and better starters, it won't be next year. I was disappointed they didn't piggy back more, given what they had. Archer couldn't go more, did people want Bundy to? They tried to let Mahle do it.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Good decision
  8. Mike Sixel
    100+ pitches? No one does that anymore......
  9. Mike Sixel
    Leverage is a powerful thing, I agree.
  10. Mike Sixel
    That wasn't their philosophy when they had good, healthy, pitchers. I'm not sure it will be next year, we just don't know I'd roll the dice and try him at starter, completely changing my mind from last year.
  11. Mike Sixel
    It seemed like a great pick when made.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    He's a better blocker than Smith.... This is the kind of trade I've been saying more teams should make, early picks for a player and mid picks.
  13. Mike Sixel
    They drop from late second to early fourth.... What, about forty spots? Steep price, but not as bad as it first seems.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Yes, but two weeks of learning is doable (also, if the Vikings do deal, they should have done it the week before so the player had time to learn).....one player can make a huge difference in the NFL.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I like that the Bears are trading guys like crazy since MN plays them one more time (for this year anyway, not for the future). More NFL teams should be willing to do this.
  16. Mike Sixel
    There just aren't that many good catchers in the league......I'd spend resources elsewhere for sure. It is very unlikely they can be much better than any other team at catcher....but there are great players at other positions they can get/develop/sign....
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'd also like more passing there, but if the D was decent, the other team wouldn't be close at the end. The D just isn't good. Looking like ten to twelve wins to me and maybe one playoff win unless something changes. They need a legit DL and to not play twenty years off the receiver..... But I'm not holding my breath. Buffalo smothered the GB receivers at the line. There is a reason they are better.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Was hoping, impossibly, JJ Watt and, or, Ertz didn't leave town....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Oh, right. Still, that should be enough to win. And it should be 38.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Don't blame the O if they lose. 34 on the road should be enough.
  21. Mike Sixel
    "watching" on GameDay. Are they really throwing deep on third and short over and over?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Zadarius was clearly a good sign.
  23. Mike Sixel
    They are 5-1..... Fake or not, they can't sell.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I have such a plan on my website. Two different versions, actually. https://mikesixel.com/bracket-style-mlb-playoffs/
  25. Mike Sixel
    The schedule and other team's injuries have helped for sure...... But other teams have lost games like this this year. Sports is always partly about timing and health, and so far, so good. I'm not impressed with the defense, so the o has to get better, imo.
