I just read that in spring training, MLB is going to have a robotic system checking the strike zone. A team will be allowed to ask a certain number of times for the robot to make the call on balls/strikes instead of the human umpire. It's going to be humiliating for the umpires. They are going to be wrong every time. The only time their call won't be overruled is when a manager is so desperate for a call he throws the challenge flag even though he knows it's useless. I don't really care about baseball but it kinda worries me because I could see the same kind of system being used to call field goals. I sure hope the NFL is smarter than that. If you are going to implement something like that, just let the computer make the call. It is going to be right 100% of the time. The ball goes through the uprights and some kind of light goes on, a buzzer sounds, and the officials throw up their arms signalling the kick is good.

On Wilde & Tausch they were talking about the inconsistent offense. Wilde read stats saying the Packers were 4th in the NFL with 59 20+ pass plays. They were #1 in the entire NFL for 40+ pass plays. All 3 of the guys on the broadcast expressed astonishment over those stats. Me, I'm yelling at the radio, "It's 3rd downs. The 3rd down conversion rate is terrible." Actually, I looked it up and the Packers 3rd down conversion rate isn't *terrible*. They were 10th in the Nfl, slightly ahead of the Eagles. With their running games, how in the world are the Packers 10th and the Eagles 11th? 13 of the teams in the top half of the league in 3rd down conversion rate made the playoffs. But there doesn't appear to be a pattern w/i the top half with respect to ranking. The Chiefs were 4th and the Eagles were 11th. The Lions were near the top, the Vikings below the Packers. Most likely, it means that while 3rd down conversion is important, it is so easy to slide between 4th and 11th that your exact place in the rankings doesn't matter that much. So I don't know. It still *feels* to me that too often the Packers went for a big play when all they needed was 5 yards for a 1st down. But I can't prove that. Maybe it's just drops. Could be that a few fewer drops and they'd have been in the top 5 in 3rd down conversions. I'd have to check that and I'm not going to do that. Well, maybe. It's a long off-season, after all.

I got to thinkin' today. What if you got 4 points for a really long FG? Say the line of scrimmage, not where the ball is placed, is behind the 50. I don't think that would conflict with the longest FGs in NFL history being worth only 3 points. I think the record is 66 yards and that would put it at like the 49 and a half. So you'd have to set an NFL record for longest FG but you could get 4 points for it. A team down by 4 with 10 seconds left, with the ball at the opponent's 49, could take a step back and take a knee to put the ball behind the 50. It would be like a basketball player taking a step back for a 3 point shot. Or if a team had the ball, down by 4, at their own 49 with 5 seconds left, they would have to decide whether to try the 4 point FG or a Hail Mary. Tough call, adds a little excitement.

First, Yipee! The Packers three-peat record is safe for at least another 2 years! Second, same thing every year -- however the team that won the Super Bowl, that's what the Packers need to do, even if it is totally different than how the team that won it last year did it. If the team that won it this year made a blockbuster trade for an aging QB, that's what we should do. Maybe not at QB but WR, DB, whatever we need right now. Or if the team traded an aging RB for 12 draft picks, that's what we need to do. Maybe not RB cuz we just signed him last year but maybe WR or DB or whatever we have right now.

At least someone didn't forget! https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/nfl/packers-chiefs-threepeat-rcna190663 DaveF

I'm not sure I should post about stuff like this but they are having a great day on the Wilde and Tausch show. Lots of stats and just a great discussion. First thing ... Would it be the Pack in the SB if we had signed Sequan Barkley instead of Josh Jacobs? I'm lucky I haven't commented about this yet (it's only because I figure it's a long off season) because I'd have been wrong. Here's a stat Wilde gave -- yards before contact, Barkley 1300, Jacobs 500. That stat is from Pro Footbal Focus. According to PFF, Barkley got as many yards before contact as Jacobs got -- period. Okay, I'm skeptical of stats like that. There could be systemic problems in how they are acquired. Define "contact". Maybe there is a guy accumulating the stats for the Eagles and another one for the Packers and the guy who does the Eagles defines contact differently than the guy who does the Packers. Even so, that disparity has to make you think. Second, does JAL cross the line of scrimmage often enough? In last year's AFCCG, the ravens played zone pass defense the entire first half and Travis Kelsie caught something like 7 passes for over 100 yars -- in the half! In the 2nd half, they played way more man and Kelsie caught only 1 pass. But how could the Ravens not see that coming? They never heard of Travis Kelsie? It appeared to violate my "NFL coaches are not idiots" principle. This year, the Bills played man in the first half and Kelsie was pretty quiet. But Mahones kept running for first downs. To their credit, the Bills adjusted quickly and played some kind of modified zone that accounted for the TE. I didn't get the details but that's ntt really the point anyway. The point is that now I know why the Ravens were playing zone. They're not idiots, if you play man, Mahones is going to make you pay. Wilde gave statistics on Mahones throughout his career. Mahones runs for around 300 yards every year. Sometimes closer to 200, sometimes closer to 400. Of course he was hurt but Love ran for 83 yards last year. Bottom line is that Travis Kelsie has an advantage Tucker Craft doesn't get. Both of these topics lead into a discussion of what was wrong with the Packers offense last year. They ran the ball out of the shotgun a lot last year because that fits Jacobs running style. But that means they ran far less play action which was Matt LaFleur's thing. Play action is key to the offensive philosophy of that whole coaching tree of LaLleur, McVay and Shanahan. Do the Packers need to modify their scheme? Go back to the offense LaFluer iwas hired to run? Is it the roster? All those drops? All those penalties? Maybe they just need to play better. Lots to think about anyway.

So the Ravens are the latest team to lose a game by going for 2 too early in the game. The Ravens scored late in the 3rd to cut the score to 21-19. They went for 2 and failed. Late in the game, with about 1 minute left, they scored again to close the gap to 27-25. They went for 2 again and the receiver had a terrible drop that cost them the game. But if they had kicked the extra point in the 3rd quarter, they wouldn't have had to go for to late in the game and the very bad drop would never have happened. This is exactly what I am talking about when I say teams go for 2 too early. If you make the 2 point conversion, it doesn't help you that much. But if you miss it, it is devastating. And there is no reason for it. Just score another touchdown in the 4th quarter. If you still need the 2 points, you can go for it then. And if you don't score another TD, you are probably going to lose anyway. I think the only problem is PR. Peopl are going to trash you for not going for 2 in that situation. I think the way to handle that is to say, "I don't want to tie, I want to win."

The 3 top teams in the NFC North, Packers, Lions, Vikings, that were a combined 40-11 in the regular season were 0-3 in the playoffs. I attribute that mostly to stuff happens. If you flip a coin 3 times, it is not that strange for it to come up tails all 3 times. Streaks like that are bound to happen when randomness plays a part. Even so, the biggest upset, Commanders eliminating the Lions, was due in large part to the number of injuries the Lions had on defense. Yeah, you are saying, that's not news. But it does go back to something I said about the Packers in previous years. The number of injuries in the NfL is a huge problem. The product the NFL is selling is being ruined by injuries. It's no fun. IMO, just about anything the NFL can do to cut down on injuries is good. Whatever they can come up with, no matter how extreme, is fine by me. I think for years, there has been too much talk about putting dresses on the players and crap like that. No, they're not even close to making the game too soft. We're not even in that ball park. The problem is still *way* more the other way around. PS: Man, did the Packers ever miss an opportunity by putting up their 3rd stinker in a row when they played the Eagles. Had they won a playoff game while the Vikings and Lions lost, it would put a whole different light on the 2024 season.

The reason it took me so long to get to this is that I don't have anything to say. Plus, I have no idea about PMVPOBF. I figured I'd have to look at the stats and that[s a PITA. Anyway, at first I figured the PMVPOBF has to be on defense. Giving up just 22 points to a team like the Eagles would be good under any circumstances. But that was really good considering how the game played out, giving up just 22 points when the offense turns the ball over 3 times (plus 1 late in the game) is very good. But who was the PMVPOBF? The entire front 7 did an excellent job. But so did the secondary. Wayne kept crediting any pressure there was on Hurts to the coverage. Quay Walker lead the team in tackles. The underdog nature of the PMVPOBF award favors Walker but simply leading the team in tackles isn't a big deal for your MLB especially a former #1 round pick. Edge Cooper and Rashon Gary get mentions but the curve doesn't favor them. So I think in spite of the fairly poor performance on offense, the PMVPOBF has to be Tucker Craft. 5 receptions, 2 rushes in short yardage situations, and a fumble recovery. Josh Jacobs had 80+ yards rushing plus another 40 receiving. That's nice but not the eye-popping performance he needs to get PMVPOBF. Jayden Reed wasn't totally invisible. === For some unexplained reason, on the final play of the game, John calls Luke Musgrave's number instead of Tucker Craft. As a result, in come-from-behind fashion, Jeff gets 2 points for correctly predicting the PMVPOBF, nailing the 55 yard FG with no time left on the clock, to win by 1 point. New/final scores: Jeff: 7.5 John: 6.5 Jack: 1 I believe that's 2 years in a row for Jeff. I think John won it the year before that. Man, I suck at this game.

# Eagles favored by 4.5. Hmm, that seems about right. # Temps around 277K (40F). Light winds. # Playing outside in winter, there is a good reason to take the ball if you win the toss -- you get the wind in the 4th quarter. It doesn't sound like wind will be a huge factor but taking the wind might outweigh the advantages of deferring. # I don't have a great feeling about this game. I think a lot of us, including me, are hung over after that stinker v the B**rs. But lets not forget the Packers have given every good team they've played all they could handle all year. And that's with the Pack not even playing particularly well in those games. If both teams play their best, I say it's even. Admittedly, the Packers haven't played their best very often this season. # I need the Packers to win 2 more games to even have a chance at the Linguini Trophy. My PMVPOBF is Jayden Reed (again). Same logic as last week -- he can contribute receiving, rushing, and returning. Plus, I'm pretty sure he hasn't won it all year. I'm surprised JAL didn't have a huge game last week just because I didn't pick him for my PMVPOBFP. # No plan, no ideas.

# Well, now we start the big push. Hmm, Anybody know which book that is from? Its gotta be either "Instant Replay" by Jerry Kramer or "Run To Daylight" by Vince Lombardi. I'm guessin Kramer's book. Anyway, all is not lost. Beat the Eagles and we're right back in it. Admittedly, that is not too likely but there is always plenty of time to stress out after a disaster. And there is no point in getting started early. # Everybody's talking about how the Packers can't get 1st downs throwing the ball. [Remember, you heard it here first.] Is it the play calling, the QB, or the WRs? Usually a great QB can make even fairly crummy WRs look good. Favre turned Billy Schroeder into a thousand yard wide receiver. But maybe Schroeder was actually pretty good. Who knows? And like I said last week, we were all wondering for Favre's first 2 years why he couldn't seem to move the ball until the Packers were 2 or 3 scores behind. So maybe it's the playcalling. # Lots of people trashing LaFleur for botching the last 50 seconds of the game. Hmm, maybe a little. He just wasn't prepared for a 2 yard loss on 3rd and 2. He was prepared to go for it if they didn't get the 1st down but not for losing 2 yards. So he called a timeout figuring they'd need to save time for after the 1st down, if they made it. Then he changed his mind and decided to go for the FG. Probably someone pointed out that the probability of making a 55 yard FG was about the same as, if not better than, converting a 4th and 4 and then kicking like a 45 yard FG. I really doubt anybody could have thought that all through in the time permitted. I know I didn't. I was still debating with myself whether to try the FG or go for the 1st down when LaFleur called the TO. # Turns out that even if the Pack had won, they'd still have the #7 seed. # I am tempted to unfine myself a point for predicting Narvison would be a decent kicker. I said there are plenty of decent kickers out there and Gutie would find one. I don't know if he had plans to sign Brandon McManus all along but my faith in Gutie has proven to be justified. If McManus hadn't just won a PMVPOBF, he might win it again this week. # Speaking of which -- how do you award a PMVPOBF after a stinker like that? I think I am going to give it to the entire OL. Admittedly, it's kinda weak. Its not like they were up against the 96 Packers defense. But they put up 180+ yards rushing. Allowed 3 sacks though. Jayden Reed had a good game but that fumble might have cost them the game. JAL and JJ hardly played. I think I'm going to give mentions to Wicks, Kraft, and Heath. On defense, McKinney had another pick, his 9th of the season IIrC. Valentine forced the fumble that temporarily gave us the lead. Nixon and Cooper made a lot of tackles. # I honestly wrote the above before going back and looking at who people picked. Looks as if John gets a point for his pick, Tucker Craft, getting a mention. I'll give Jeff a half point because his pick, JJ, played well and scored a TD in limited action. I get nothing for picking Reed. I think I am going to unfine myself that point for what I said about the place kicker situation. As things turned out, what I said wasn't *that* far off. I fined myself another point for saying something else really stupid. I don't remember what that was though. New scores: John: 6.5 Jeff: 5 .5 Jack: 1 # Brats turned out great. And I was fairly comfortable the whole game. The only real problem I had was that since I have to do everything by feel, my hands got pretty cold while I was setting up the grill. I'm used to that though. I walked to the hardware store earlier in the week and bought a pair of those chemical boot warmers. Man, those things are nice. They were stil fairly warm by the end of the game. I also made myself a hot chocolate milk and Rumple Minze after the game. Yum!

# Packers 10 point favs. # KO temp around 18F, 265K, light wind. # It's a bummer of a B**rs Week for me. A real pall has fallen over the season because of the lost last week. Packers playing for the 6th v 7th seed. I need to not forget though, the all time head-to-head record v the B**rs doesn't care that the Packers have little to play for. # Quite a battle for the Linguini Trophy. I believe John has a half point lead over Jeff. My PMvPObf pick is ... is ... is Jayden Reed. # Fresh Badger Brats from Metcalf's.

Often when I'm philosifying with my fellow atheists, they make this point that God can't be both all powerful and all good or there wouldn't be so much suffering in the world. Well, technically, that's true but it misses the point. A perfect world would be no good. I mean, would it be heaven for you, if you knew the Packers were going to win, somehow, every time they played the B**rs? Like say, even if the B**rs were lining up for a chip shot FG to win the game on the final play, you would know they were going to miss? No, even in Heaven, you'd need the Packers to lose once in a while. Like maybe going 30-5 against the B**rs since 2008 or 52-15 since 1992. The Packers might win 10 in a row, 12 in a row, but not every time. Heaven would be something like that. Hmm, this isn't like that movie where I don't know I'm dead, is it?

# Years ago, I invented this term, "Last Game Syndrome", to describe the roller coaster of emotions some people on this list would go through depending on whether the Packers won or lost. Even accounting for LgS, I am disappointed. And this is from a guy who spent most of last week pointing out the Packers weaknesses and saying the point spread should have been more than 1 point in the Vikes favor. The Packers lost by only 2 points but that game was an embarrassment. The pass rush and the pass defense were problematic and admittedly, that was a surprise and disappointment to me. But the real problem was the pass offense. They had 60-some yards passing through 3 quarters. If that was the B**rs, it'd be embarrassing. For the Packers, it's terrible, bizarre even. # At the start of the 4th, I started asking myself if maybe Jordan Love just isn't very good. Maybe that's why the Packers 3rd down conversion rate is in the middle of the pack in the NFL. But then he started flingin' it and I was like, hmm, he seems pretty good when they just let him play. This has happened before. Not what's going on on the field -- I'm not qualified to say that. I mean, I've experienced this train of thought before. It was in Brett Favre's early years. Why in the world do we struggle on offense for half a game or 3 quarters and then start flingin' it like Super Bowl contenders? # Well, PMVPOBF is easy this week -- Edgeron Cooper. Carrington Valentine gets a mention for getting that pick that kept us in the game. Javon Bullard would also get a mention just for playing at all much less at the high level he played at. After that performance, nobody on offense deserves a mention. Even Larry's POLG, Zak Tom, was a lukewarm endorsement. Larry was like, I gotta pick somebody so I guess I'll go with Tom. # I honestly considered our contest picks only after I wrote the above paragraph. So only then did it occur to me that maybe Romeo Doubs deserved a mention. Hmm, maybe. I looked up Doubs's stats. He had 7 catches for 58 yards. I don't know if that includes the 2-point conversion or not. Those numbers are not great for the guy who is supposed to be your top possession receiver. Even so, I think Jeff deserves a half point. I also considered docking myself another half point for picking JAL. I mean, that performance, 60+ yards through 3 quarters, was just aweful. But Love didn't throw a pick and ended up with a PR of 90+. So keeping it in perspective, it could have been a lot worse. New scores: John: 5.5 Jeff: 5 Jack: 0 PS: one thing that turned out well Sunday -- my burgers. I am not a foodie, although I love to grill, I absolutely hate to cook. But getting fresh, never frozen, ground beef from a place like Metcalf's -- it's like magic. The smell of those burgers literally drew people from around the neighborhood (who were invited) to come over. They're like, we smelled those burgers and we knew we'd better get over here right away.

# Man, the point spread has been moving around like nothing I've ever seen. It was Vikings by 1.5 on Tuesday. Then it was Packers by 1. Then even. Now it's back to Vikings by 1. I wonder why it's moved so much though. The only news I am aware of is that Jaire Alexander is out. That shouldn't account for the spread moving like that. Even so, the point spread indicates the Packers would be favored on neutral ground. Hmm, I don't know. I think the Packers still have a lot to prove. # On W&T, Tausch keeps saying this game isn't that important. After all, All that is really at stake is the difference between being the #5 seed and the #7 seed. The Packers have already made the playoffs and all that matters is getting hot for the playoffs. The problem is that if the Packers aren't hot yet, they probably won't be by week 1 of the playoffs. Sure, its *possible*. The Packers did it in 2010 -- not so great all the way to the end of the regular season then the fireworks began. But this is not magic, its a process. You don't speak the magic word and all of a sudden you're the hot team. The process should be complete by now and if it's not, it probably never will be, not this year. # I wonder if certain people in the media are on this list. I heard lots of rumbling about the Packers possession passing game and 3rd down conversion rate this week. Of course, it could just be that great minds think alike -- also me and the people in the media. Even so, remember, you heard it here first. # It is also gratifying to hear the Packers front 7 get some respect. I heard lots of pundits talk about how, statistically, the Packers actually have a lot of sacks. Sure, those sacks are bunched up in a couple of games but at the same time, the front 7 gets fairly constant pressure. The Packers pass rush is solid if unspectacular, they're saying. To which I'd add that it's a testimonial to the job Jeff Halfley is doing. When you don't have a lot of superstars, that is what you go for -- solid if unspectacular. # I am absolutely, positively, definitely not picking JAL again ... not after this week. I can't not pick JAL one more time when there is such a good chance this game will be a shootout. I mean, think about it. Suppose I go with my #2 pick, Jayden Reed, and JAL throws 4 tudders. I'd have to dock myself a half point and go back into the hole. In other words, I'm just playing a prevent defense here. # Cheeseburgers -- 1/3 pound patties, never frozen,Pepper Jack cheese.

I don't think it is as unlikely as people think that the Packers will get a home playoff game. Well, not if you assume they go on a 2010-like run and/or win their next 4 games. They beat the Vikings and B**rs to finish 13-4. The Vikings lose to the Packers and Lions and, (according to https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2024/12/23/packers-playoff-picture-nfl-playoff-outlook-scenarios-chances/77178665007/) the Packers are the #1 wildcard. That's key. It wouldn't be weird if all 3 wildcard teams won in the first round of the playoffs. Certainly, the Packers and Vikings would be favored in their games. So that leaves just one major upset required for a wildcard team to get a home playoff game. That would be Commanders vs Lions or Eagles, depending on which one of them does not get the 1st round bye. In fact, it wouldn't take a totally crazy scenario for the Packers to get the NFC-CG at Lambeau. The Packers eliminate the Falcons/Bucs, the Vikings eliminate the Rams. As expected, the Lions or Eagles beat the Commanders. Next week, the Packers eliminate #2 seed, whoever it was that beat the Commanders, and the Vikings beat the #1 seed. Of course, it's a pretty huge assumption that the Packers go on a 4-game run. But if they do, it really takes only 1 other fairly minor upset (Vikings over the #1 seed) for the NFC-CG to be at Lambeau.

# My first thought was, "be afraid. be very afraid." # On second thought, maybe not. I mean, it was just the Saints. I still say the Packers have one fairly significant flaw -- 3rd down conversions. I'm not sure how trustworthy this site is: https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/third-down-conversion-pct But according to that site, the Packers are 14th in the NFL on 3rd downs for the season and they do even worse if you sort by their rank in the last 3. For a team with such a great possession rushing attack, that's terrible. Its not like they have a Barry Sanders back there who either gains 12 or loses 2 every play. They ought to have a lot of 3rd and 4 or 5s and they ought to be able to convert all of those. # IMO, this season proves there are "must win" games early in the season. Those early season losses on neutral ground vs the Eagles and at home vs the Vikings and Lions have them in a hole they cannot climb out of. Well, I guess you never know, they might still go on a 2010-like run. # Speaking of which -- I'm going to say the Packers defense, particularly the pass rush, is good enough.That was the first shutout in the NFL this season. Even accounting for the fact that it was just the very beat up Saints, that's meaningful. Its a long season, there must have been other teams as beat up as the Saints and their opponents didn't shut them out. I think you have to give all the credit to Packers defensive coordinator, Jeff Halfley. All you have to do is just dont have terrible games, don't make huge mistakes. That's something Joe Berry wasn't able to do. Maybe you don't have any star players, just get the most out of what you've got. # Having said that though, I do think the Packers really, really need Jaire Alexander back. I think it is conceivable that the Packers could go on a 2010-like run without him but the odds increase significantly if he plays. # Man, the Packers sure are making it difficult to pick a PMVPOBF. There just hasn't been many dominating performances by a single player on offense. It is kind of the opposite of last year when every week it seemed a different player stepped up. Larry McCarren even named the entire OL as his POLG. I guess this week, given that we're grading on a curve, on offense the leading candidate would be Emmanuel Wilson, 11 rushes for 52 yards (IIRC) and a TD. I don't get why Chris Brooks always seems to get into the game ahead of Wilson. It seems like Brooks is the #2 and Wilson #3. JAL's passer rating of 88 ain't gonna get him the PMVPOBF. And Josh Jacobs played only about half the game. He did have over 100 combined yardage though. None of the WRs went over 100 yards. Tucker Craft had a good game, 3 catches for like 70 yards (IIRC). Those aren't PMVPOBF kinda numbers though. On defense, there are 2 obvious candidates, Brenton Cox? and Zane Anderson. Cox had one sack and a bunch of QB pressures. But he also had a roughing penalty. And Zane Anderson? Who? Yeah, I looked him up. He is 27, was a UFA out of college, and the Packers are his 3rd team. Not a usual path to the Hall Of Fame. But he made a big play last night. Keisean Nixon gets some consideration again this week, partly for his contribution on special teams. But I am going to go with Brandon McManus for PMVPOBF. He hit a 55 yarder when the game was still kinda in doubt and a 47 yarder later in the game. When they were lining up for the 55 yarder, I was saying to the radio, "It's not the cold, it's the humidity." Just sitting out there, everything was damp. Kicking a 55 yarder under those conditions is amazing. # WRT the contest. I wrote the above before going back and seeing who John and Jeff selected. Of course, I know who *I* picked. I gotta say, even though John didn't pick the PMVPOBF, he was like spot on with his words about Keisean Nixon, "Thinking he plays well with an INT and a few nice break-ups, plus he may add value with returns." Okay, Nixon didn't have a pick but he had a forced fumble and a sack. I considered awarding a point an a half for that but Nixon is becoming too obvious of a pick. So just one point f

# Packers favored by 14.5. # My iPhone says there is a 60% chance of snow in GB tomorrow. Tems between 29F and 33F, so not too bad. But this might be an exception to my rule that we should hope for normal weather. Any kind of weirdness, even cold when a warm weather team is visiting, favors the dog. The Packers are the better team and we don't want anything to get in the way of that alone deciding the game. However, I have to say, I can't believe there is any chance that the Saints could possibly gain an advantage if it's cold and snowy. # The Packers have been really lucky wrt injuries this season. Quay Walker and Javon Bullard are out. JA, Ballentine, Musgrave, and Evan Williams are questionable. Saints are pretty healthy too although I think they lost their starting QB some time ago. I don't know for sure, I don't pay any attention to the NFC-South. # My PMVPOBFP is ... is ... Ah, what the heck, I'll stick with JAL. Maybe this is the week he throws for 300 yards and 4 TDs. You know who'd be a bold pick -- Luke Musgrave. I heard he is on the verge of coming back. But he's listed as questionable on the Packers injury report and might not even play. But that's why it would be a bold pick. If I was going to pick somebody other than JAL though, it would be Tucker Craft. Of course, that's wishful thinking too because, like I said, I think the Packers have a huge problem with their possession passing game. The #1 symptom of that is how few targets the TEs have had. # Can't grill out tomorrow. My wife says she needs to cook some stuff before it goes bad. At first I was like, "I gotta grill out, it's a home game." We even got into a little debate over how long stuff keeps in the fridge. Then I found out she was making jambalaya. So then I said, " Well, that's different." Jambalaya is in my top 5 all time favorite dishes. Its just a coincidence that we happen to be playing the Saints.
