Day 91

Fresh Start_91: What the hell is going on out there!?
What is wrong with the Green Bay Packers? The Packers have the raining NFL MVP in Aaron Rodgers they don’t look like a team that has any idea what is going on or how to play football. The culture in Green Bay might need an overhaul moving forward. The Packers now have four straight games and they have got out played in each and every game in one facet of the game or another. From the offensive play calling to the defense blowing coverages and even Mike McCarthy looking like a first year head coach. This is a team that not too long ago won a Superbowl. This team was a playoff team a year ago and made it to the divisional round.

In a league that is pass driven as ever before, and with a top tier quarterback the Packers on paper look like they have the ability to succeed. But with the lack of a running back the team has gone to the dumpster. The Packers have 3 rushing touchdowns and they are all by Aaron Rodgers. No running back has a rushing touchdown for the Packers this season. Now the injury bug has bitten the running back position worse than any other group of players or team in the NFL. In a division where the division crown is wide open and if you play a little more than adequate, the division in most years is yours. With the fourth straight loss opens the door to the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers are nothing short of terrible this season, and their season, safe to say, is over. This team needs to change the entire coaching staff and get a significant player overhaul to match the play making ability of their quarterback. Their offensive play calling is nothing short of a jumbled mess that a fourth grader conceived during recess. The stop & go routes that Jordy Nelson and Randell Cobb have been running for the entire season just don’t work anymore. If the Packers don’t stop what they are doing, they will make Aaron Rodgers look like Andrew Luck i.e. a human punching bag. The offensive line can’t hold blocks for that long and Aaron Rodgers can’t keep scrambling around and avoiding tackles like he is.

Rodgers looks completely lost at times, and it might not be his fault. A quarterback of his caliber has an idea of what coverages look like and understand how to beat that said coverage. He stares at his receivers after a miss communication on a pass, like a parent who is disappointed with their child’s actions. Rodgers looks to the sidelines like he should be calling the plays and they should just give him the head coaching job and call the plays. It’s code red in Green Bay and hopefully for the NFL they will figure it out next season.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
