What exactly about Falvey don't you like? He's the engineer, the one saying things like, 'We need to strike out less and get on base more.' Or 'We need to improve our pitchers strikeout rates.' And 'Math is free, let's use it instead of just guessing.' Seems pretty much every year this team at minimum attempts to change the things that didn't work the year prior. St. Peter, Levine and Baldelli seem to want to do the same thing year after year after year and I'd hold them way more accountable than Falvey. I don't find him faultless, but those faults tend to stem from him not firing those below him. And if ownership won't pay for two managers next year, which is believed but will never be confirmed, there's not much he can do about that. I'm OK replacing him, but he has done way more modernizing this organization after the Terry Ryan era and I have zero desire to go back to being the team that only follows trends five years after every other team does. -
Love made a couple of nice throws, but more than a couple of the deep passes seemed be blown coverage, at least twice by Murphy. Seemed more like brain farts than a hole in the system, but I'm no expert.

Studies continually show that jet lag impacts the elderly more than young people. Rodgers might want to stay home. https://www.namcp.org/sleepdisorders/html/disorders/jetlag/epidemiology.html#:~:text=Prevalence Related to Age,than it does young adults.

This team is just missing a mauler center. You have to be able to run it up the middle in these short yardage situations.
-
He used to throw that flag out of spite from a non-call five minutes earlier.
-
Still throwing, I like it. I mean assuming they keep making completions.
-
The D is fantastic, but I ain't going to dog the offense just because of the 3Q today.
-
What the heck, it's like the Vikings defense was just laughing at us fans for doubting the team for all of ten minutes.
-
26 points and no offensive TDs. Surely they're happy they won, but they can't feel terribly great about what they thought was going to be an excellent offense.
-
Ha, awesome, I had to rapidly delete my post about how Murphy has seemed to be out of position multiple times today!
-
OK, time for the defense we saw the first 14 quarters this season.
-
Not seven minutes nor seven points, but that was pretty good. Or at least way better than nothing.
-
That was clearly a hip drop tackle. The one that hobbled Darnold.
-
Pass blocking is way better, but just like last year, in short yardage situations, that O line still isn't able to move the defenders off of the line.
-
So 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers wasn't the solution for the Jets? Wow, I thought he was supposed to be an MVP candidate.🤓
-
Well Levine is second after St. Peter on my chopping block. But I'm not putting much stock in this report right now. Gleeman is great, but the team hasn't even had any end of season meetings yet. They're going to take the temperature all around before making any decisions.
-
OK, that's the goal. Let's do it.
-
Fans booing before half time. That honestly might be the best thing about the game.
-
I'm not complaining, but check out Baker's stat line today. Two years ago, who had Darnold vs Mayfield as the MVP favorites by week 4?
-
Hmmm, typo or brain fart, I'm not sure. Either way, I underestimated the offense today.
-
18 is Darnold's number, so that one for sure.
-
He doesn't look fit to be out there. I'm sure he wants to be, but the Packers don't look like they're doing him any favors by letting him play. They're messing with fire here.
-
What a dummy.

I don't think they've regularly played Saturday games until after the NCAA regular season is over though. Not for quite some time anyway.
-
From what I heard, they always had a deal with the NCAA that they'd leave Saturday alone until the NCAA regular season was over. And what I further heard was that when they go to 18 games the extra one will push the opening week earlier into the season instead of the season later, meaning they'll be out of the NCAA window. When that happens, they'll have opening weekend start on Thursday, end on Monday and they can probably schedule enough games in that time frame to not have any overlapping games. And what my gut tells me, is that basically 48 hours of straight NFL (16 games x 3 hours) is going to be too much and might start turning some fans off. At the very least, a lot of pissed off wives.
