    Wow, that is a lot of information to sift through. I’m sure this took a lot of time to research and write, so kudos to the author. For those that continued watching the playoffs, we saw other teams utilize the same strategies Rocco used all season. He’s one of about 25 managers that can be described as “alright”. Tito Francona is always brought up as the gold standard when people demand a new manager. I guess we will see if he brings that same magic to Cincinnati.

    The trade deadline has improved tenfold compared to 10 years ago but there’s still much to be desired. Besides Lattimore it was trades for rotational guys, not difference makers. I’m not sure Lattimore is still a difference maker either.

    I would give Wallner every opportunity to be one of the Five Guys. His arm plays in either corner OF spot and his bat has All-Star upside. Correa, Buxton, and Lewis will be called upon again to be in the Five Guys and that’s the frustrating part. Health continues to fail them every season. Beyond that, I don’t think there’s a final 5 guy… Also, since no one has done it yet. https://restaurants.fiveguys.com/search

    I’m looking for “some surprise names” and don’t see any.

    Per PFF, Bradbury was the 2nd highest graded player on offense last night. 3rd highest graded player on the team. Now I’m questioning whether I watched the same game as PFF last night.

    The GM is likely out after the season too. Whoever takes on this opportunity better ask for a 6+ year contract to make it worthwhile. The Saints are in awful shape cap wise until the end of 2026.

    I also wouldn’t be opposed to an Adam Thielen reunion and he should be very cheap to acquire. That way Hockenson isn’t the only big body over the middle of the field/red zone

    At 6-2 the Vikings should do something additional to Cam Robinson. Detroit looks too loaded so I’m not advocating for a big swing… If I’m Kwesi today I’m calling Miami to acquire either or both of Calais Campbell and Raheem Mostert.

    Absolutely this. There’s no accountability or consistency with these calls. Almost like the NBA where the stars get the calls no matter what, and guys like Darnold haven’t earned the right to get these calls. I was not happy with the BS explanation during the Rams game and the explanation after this game isn’t great either.

    2 games in a row where a ref “didn’t see it.” Except this time they threw a flag, picked it up, and claimed they didn’t see it afterward.

    I was out with the boys tonight celebrating my brother’s birthday. First half flew by. 2nd half not so much. Indy’s offense does not work without Richardson’s threat of running the ball. Flacco was finding pockets in our soft zone coverage and that was frustrating. Darnold’s red zone INT was a terrible decision and terrible throw. He did not play well tonight. I’m quite concerned about the state of the OL moving forward. Buckner and Stewart dominated our interior OL. Our screen game is back to being complete trash. All of that said, the Vikings dominated time of possession tonight, and it should have been a curb stomping if Darnold doesn’t make his dumb mistakes he’s making every game.
  12. Vanimal46
    Agreed. Philly is a fraud team this year. But they’ll get the benefit of playing the Cowboys who are crashing and burning, and Giants later this season to inflate their record.
  13. Vanimal46
    Philly was doing everything they can to give Jacksonville a win… Then Lawrence throws an off target pass in the end zone for the game sealing INT
  14. Vanimal46
    No question. If there’s any team that should load up for a title run this year it’s Detroit. Imagine if they forked over a couple 1st round picks for Crosby or Garrett.
  15. Vanimal46
    I’m worried we are just throwing Cam Robinson out at LT after 1 walk through practice. The Colts have a really solid DL and it could be a long night if our OL isn’t in sync.
  16. Vanimal46
    If payroll needs to be shed further, then Lopez will likely be the guy that accomplishes the most salary shed, and most value to receive back in a trade. Baltimore would be an intriguing trade partner if the new owner is willing to open up the checkbook.
  17. Vanimal46
    The worst path the Twins can choose this offseason is running it back with the same core of players expecting better health/results. We’ve seen this core of batters disappear for weeks at a time. They’ve “run out of gas” with more than a month left in the season.
  18. Vanimal46
    This roster needs a serious re-tool, and the best method is going to be trades. And that’s the problem with discussing the Twins. I have no idea who’s available to trade for. But I’m open to trading anyone on the 40 man roster or from our supposedly loaded farm system to acquire impact MLB players.

    MLB Trade Rumors: Top 35 Trade Candidates this Offseason Vazquez at #15 and Paddack at #16. Also, old friend Luis Arraez is on the list at 17 projected to get $14.6 million in arbitration. Has a 3 time batting champ been non tendered?
  20. Vanimal46
    All the best to Kirilloff in retirement. The injuries piled up for him and it’s understandable to lose your passion when your body continues to betray you.
  21. Vanimal46
    fixed that for you
  22. Vanimal46
    If I were to throw out a team right now, I would guess the Cardinals throw big money at him this winter.
  23. Vanimal46
    As I posted before, there's a reason why he was benched last week and traded for less than the projected comp pick. I hope he's good but my bar for him right now is Riley Reiff.
  24. Vanimal46
    Buehler's gonna get paid this winter. He chose the right time to start looking like the 2019 version of himself.
  25. Vanimal46
    It was 80 degrees here yesterday. You'll get this cold front in the next couple days I imagine.
