Falvey is finally starting to build the gap between himself and the Pohlad family with his recent quotes. “Unless I’m told otherwise” being a huge indicator when discussing keeping Lopez/Buxton/Ryan. Spoiler… He already has been told otherwise so he’s making it known if it were up to him he would keep them and add to the roster. When the opposite happens, we know he was told to do so.- 146 replies

The plan is staring you in the face. Depends if you’re accepting of it or not. The Pohlads took private equity money to get out of their crippling debt. This isn’t a long term partnership. Private equity needs an ROI in a short amount of time. Theyre going to spend the next year or two making the franchise more valuable to hit their desired market rate near $2 billion. Private equity slashes expenses to skeleton levels to show profitability. Fan interest is at a 25 year low. There’s literally nothing they can do to spike attendance #s. They’re still in limbo with TV broadcasts. So why would the Pohlads invest any further in the organization? They’re already hated so who cares if that lasts another year before the lockout.

I would have done just about anything to trade up for him. I saw RG3 in Jayden Daniels’ future sadly. Dude was and still is so skinny for a 6’3” QB.

This may be the worst TNF matchup of the year. Couldn’t be less interested

To be perfectly honest I don’t care how much the bullpen costs. More money theoretically means more certainty they won’t be a complete disaster. But they are kings of SSS for a reason. All it takes for your plan to go south is that closer, set up guy, or lefty having a bad season. The odds of the Twins finding 4 quality relievers in 1 offseason is slim to none. And slim is leaving town. It took them 4+ years to build an above average bullpen before they gutted it.

Congratulations Pohlad family. You have alienated a home grown, star player who wanted to remain a Twin for life. This feels like a precursor to a trade... Dan Hayes isn't the type of beat reporter who writes pure speculation without doing a lot of confirmation in the background. Just like when we heard Correa was willing to waive his NTC, and weird! He was traded the next day.
-
The strategy is pushed down from the Wilfs for sure… But they both have full autonomy to sign and draft the players. KOC without question had the authority to choose the people in the QB room and he really screwed it up this season.
-
What you described is the single biggest flaw with our “competitive rebuild” strategy. Kwesi and KOC thought they could have it both ways - winning right now and developing basically a rookie QB. I am willing to bet this is the sole reason for everything feeling off this season. Tensions have been rising because the roster is full of veterans who can’t afford a year or 2 waiting to see if McCarthy is the real deal.
-
The earliest the Packers can get out of Love’s deal without destroying their salary cap is 2027. Good luck to them.
-
They fell right into the Kirk Cousins trap. Hook, line and sinker. I looked at the Packers’ Reddit page this morning out of curiosity and they’re in full blown denial about Love. Placing all of the blame on LeFluer. The cherry on top is if they actually fire a great HC over admitting Love is middle of the road at best.

All you need to do is be the Gophers football coach and you'll be extended in perpetuity if you finish above .500 in a season.
-
I bailed on this game an hour ago and it still looks like the most boring game of the season.
-
Agreed, but I am skeptical now that they extended him before the season. Why they did that before we knew how McCarthy and Turner would turn out is one of life's many mysteries.
-
This right here is why Kwesi is a major problem as our GM long term.

This has been your weekly ban the tush push update

Oh no! What are we going to do without Windmill Watkins?

Unserious organization

Fully agree. He’s had upper echelon coaching since he was 16 or 17 years old. And we’re still talking about basic fundamentals/mechanics with his passes? It’s not like he’s been working with the local HS QB 20 years ago turned social studies teacher. Through 4 games you would think he’s flashed a little bit more than he has. 75% of the time he’s been flat out bad out there. It’s entirely possible to have a QB look good right from the get go… But we’re so accustomed to thinking any young talent on a Minnesota sports team has to start out terribly.
-
Cowards, honestly. You know what would fix this national problem? Eliminating it entirely! But nope, they still need your money.
-
Agreed with you both. I thought Daboll was going to be let go a month ago... And I thought McDaniel was going to be the 1st HC fired this season. Others that are on a scorching hot seat... CLE Kevin Stefanski (for his sake I hope they do fire him so he can get out of that hell hole) CIN Zac Taylor (dude has always held back the Bengals from being good) LV Pete Carroll (why is he even doing this?) ATL Raheem Morris (extremely disappointing year for the Falcons)
-
As expected

This kid isn't gonna last long in the league at this rate.

48 called pass plays, 13 called run plays. There’s no game script with that end result that’s good for a young QB. JJM’s average depth of target per play was 12 yards. Has KOC ever seen a game plan to ease in young QBs? Short quick hits. Run the ball!
