    KC looks good on their first drive. A little late but there's no way they don't make at least the afc championship unless Mahomes gets hurt.

    Washington suspends its "Vice President of Content" for, basically, saying that the league doesn't really care about gay folks or DEI and that Jerry Jones really runs the NFL. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41122997/commanders-suspend-vp-comments-players-jones-goodell

    This is ridiculous. The 13-4 team was lucky, sure, the 7-10 team was extremely unlucky and snake bit by injuries. I like the changes the new administration has put in place. We've moved on from Cousins and his massive contract. We've got two decent anchors in the o-line and depth in the interior. We have a top five receiving corp and have both JJ and Hockinson locked up while still having massive payroll flexibility the next few years. Defensively, we've added a lot of depth at LB/edge/DL. We might have a kicker who won't cause us all to pray on every point-after attempt. I don't know why folks are sour on Kwesi, the draft complaints don't make sense, especially when you're ignoring all the other ways to build this team. This team has a brutal schedule but it's easy to see how the team will play - on offense, KOC will hope that Darnold can replicate some of Mullins stats and push the ball downfield, playing to his strengths, while using Jones to keep defenses honest (something Mattison couldn't do). The defense is going to be blitz happy again, attacking the QB from multiple angles. Some weeks, we're going to look really, really good when everything breaks right and other weeks not so well but it's not hard to see the team has been constructed and coached well.

    I only saw the last pre-season game but I didn't think Hall looked that good. His INT was called back but was a horrific throw. The announcers pointed out a few times that he held the ball too long. He's been here a while now and, other than a few streaks, really hasn't looked like he could be a better back up than Mullins. Second, I wonder if there was some gamesmanship here in getting a QB from Chicago? Getting some insight on the QB room, styles, etc?

    The Kwesi hate is really weird to me. It's been two seasons, he's cleared a ton of payroll, hired some dang good coaches and we've gone 20-14. We have the proverbial "QB of the future" and Jefferson locked up. It's an exciting team. And, frankly, the team seems to have an identity it didn't really have under Zimmer/Spielman. I think the KOC/Flores combo is fantastic and we haven't seen reports that suggest the coaching staff and FO aren't on the same page. All of those guys are relatively young for their jobs but they all seem to be growing into it really well.

    Dallas signs Lamb for just below Jefferson money. I thought he would actually get more but congrats to him.

    Out of curiosity, who/what do we have that is potentially trade bait?
  8. gunnarthor
    No. And tanking doesn't really work in the NFL. Careers are too short, players are too competitive, and "any given sunday" is real.
  9. gunnarthor
    Would be nice if any suspension would kick in about now.
  10. gunnarthor
    I laughed at this far more than I should have.
  11. gunnarthor
    This is a playoff team! Darnold will thrive, the secondary is fixed, Turner will be a stud.
  12. gunnarthor
    .... So, we're all blaming Mike, right?
  13. gunnarthor
    I think this was their best pick although they've really struggled developing pitchers so, who knows. But this is the type of arm they should be glad to get into the system.
  14. gunnarthor
    Correa is the only one who really deserved to go. Miller is having a solid year for the A's and he's their only pick and arguably better than Jax anyway.
  15. gunnarthor
    Too bad, best of luck to him.
  16. gunnarthor
    Yeah, I was hoping the Vikes would get a pick out of this. Oh well.
  17. gunnarthor
    Good deal. With McCarthy on the rookie contract, we easily have room for this.
  18. gunnarthor
    I thought Risner was fine last year so I don't mind having him back. Best of luck to him.
  19. gunnarthor
    This is what I bought. https://www.menards.com/main/outdoors/outdoor-power-equipment/augers-tillers-compactors/tazz-reg-33cc-front-tine-gas-cultivator/35351/p-1642874301245030-c-10106.htm?exp=false It did a good job and there are some videos on line that show what it can do. I already had a garden space so I didn't need to go crazy but I had some maple tree saplings and tons of green onions plus some other unwanted flowers that had escaped their spot in the garden the the Tazz took care of it all just fine. Not sure if it'd carve up a new garden spot but it certainly can take care of weeds and small roots.

    I hadn't heard anything like that. In fact, the few videos I watched stated he had outstanding mechanics and footwork, even those that didn't like him that much.

    There was some mistakes and some bad luck. First, Rooker was old when we drafted him and I think we should have pushed him faster through the system. He didn't exactly light up AA as a 23 year old but he wasn't horrible either (.798 OPS against league avg .700 OPS) and he seemed to turn the corner in June. I think they should have pushed him to AAA that year. But, the pandemic really screwed him. He put up good numbers at AAA as a 24 year old in 2019 but only got those few games in 2020 and then got hurt. By 2022, he was a 27 year old who the team still didn't know what they had and was in a position with other (not super young) prospects behind him. And the 2021 Twins sucked so there was a sense of moving on and Larnich and Wallner were coming. So it made sense to trade him to make some room. But it ended up not working out. It happens. Good luck to Rooker from here on out.

    I splurged this year and bought a little gas powered rototiller. Works like a charm. :-)
  23. gunnarthor
    Oh, ye of little faith, we will be a playoff team.
  24. gunnarthor
    I wouldn't be surprised if Darnold starts through the bye week and then McCarthy takes over from there.
  25. gunnarthor
    No.
