This series reminds me of Jose killing the Cubs back in 2020.

Texas was definitely trending in the right direction and they spent a ton of money. But getting these results out of their young guys and dealing with all their pitching injuries is not easy. Bochy deserves a lot of credit for turning around the culture of the team. It's basically what this team needed back in 2021, but Jerry just had to hire his buddy.

I've got a feeling the FO is going to sign Whit Merrifield and we'll just have to deal with it.

Also if the Braves lose in the DS, it seems like it's almost a given that the Rangers or Astros would win the WS.

Gotta love Abreu beating up on the Twins.

Aaron Jones won that game for them. He absolutely toasted our LBs on passes out of the back field. Love also looked terrible on 1st and 2nd down but for some reason we let him sit back there on 3rd with no pressure and he converted almost every 3rd and long. I think you just gotta make Love throw it deep because he's something like 5 for 24 on throws over 20 yards. It's bad.

I'm so glad Love is getting exposed. Seemed like the general consensus was he was gonna be the next HOF QB for the Packers after the first 2 weeks. Turns out NFL teams won't just let you throw screens for TDs forever.

Dave Roberts has to get fired if the Dodgers lose this series right?

O's really won 100+ games just to lose big in the ALDS.

Lynn is probably gonna start game 3 for them. The Dodgers' starting pitching is a mess.

Man Harper is still only 30. Thanks for not even considering him Jerry.

Well now I think we can haha

Atlanta looked super rusty. Baltimore didn't look great either. Both had very favorable pitching matchups and lost.

The bye really hasn't been doing most of the teams any favors so far.

On first look, I thought it was a bad throw, but at the same time, it was so high the defender had no chance to pick it off. Watching QB School's breakdown of the game last night, Fields still struggles with the timing on those hitch/come back routes. He's just slightly late on them because he does this weird stutter step when he already has his back foot in the ground. If he just rips it without that split second hesitation, he wouldn't need Moore to get like 3-4 yards of separation on those routes. Because not every WR can separate like Moore.

Yeah his track record in the 4th quarter and close is not good. When the defense tightens up and the situation takes away things he's comfortable with, he has to be better.

A little of both. Washington's defense is very overrated. Their defensive line has a bunch of high draft picks, but I don't think they play great as a unit. Their defensive backs are really bad, as we saw last night. Denver is Denver. The offense looks different. The play calling is different. I think Getsy realized that Fields does not do well on throws down the middle. We saw his hesitation to throw the deep ins the first 2 games. They were wide open and he straight up just did not throw them. So these last 2 games has seen a lot of throws to the sidelines. When you have a young QB who is not good at anticipation throws, the last thing you want him to do is to throw it between 3 zones in the middle of the field. There's also been way more designed runs, which is something that was basically non-existent the first 2 weeks and something you have to make the opposing defense at least prepare for. Lastly, they finally started doing the tush push on 3rd/4th and shorts and it worked every time last night. No more stupid Kmet sneaks. No more runs out of shotgun. The lack of execution on those short yardage situations might have cost the Bears at least a game, so it's good they finally adapted to what the whole league has been doing. The thing is that the upcoming schedule has a lot of bad defenses. So there's a chance Fields comes out of this 4 week stretch with some good numbers.

Claypool really was that big of a cancer, huh? Dude singlehandedly ruined this offense the first 3 games of the season. Once again, Poles, masterclass trade.

Moore has bailed Fields a couple of times this 2nd half. What a night for him.

Moore has a TD there if the refs didn't blow it dead. Of course we don't even get a replay if he stepped out or not.

Offense is lost without a RB after the Herbert injury. How are you gonna just gonna have 2 RBs active?

His numbers should be even better. He made 2 pretty good throws to Mooney that he couldn't haul in.

Weirdly enough, Howell actually looked pretty good last week against a good Eagles D.

He's also gotten really good protection today. They've kept him clean on a vast majority of the snaps. Having Jenkins back is making a big difference right now.

Haha, how are we gonna blow this one?
