For some reason, the episode that auto played for me after this was "The Cost of Complexity," which was the episode after the Malik games last year. You opened that one hard by doubling down on MLF's genius status. It was a good reminder, and I'm feeling better now.

First Fifty Minutes
Walked with My Kids in the Woods
I Made the Right Choice

Like last week, I've discarded multiple note nugs at this point. I just can't.

We did get a more active Nick tonight, though, which was... Well... It wasn't fun. Sorry, Nick.

That was not a good time. I turned the TV off and then on again 20 times, just like I discarded this #notenug over and over again befo....

I actually laughed out loud at his celebration. It's so silly.

"Yo A-Rod, lemme get that jersey. Well, not that one tho. Like, one of the good ones."

Seriously though:
Watson was impactful as a receiver and blocker, but I'm starting to feel for Golden. We need to get him a touchdown.

#notenug?

I want to see a graph of average starting field position vs return team penalties for the 32 teams. It seems like it's every other time for our Packers.

No! It was a branded silver coozie. I bet the team has a deal with Pepsi. There's another beverage hiding in there.

My 9yo Daughter:
"It's bad! It's like a tiny tank top on his shirt. It's very bad."

Oh, and my guy Wilde got MLF to give some more details on the 4th&2. It sounds like he wanted to go for it the whole time but thought they lost more on the toss and sent the FG unit out there. It wasn't just Love's look, I guess; timeout also for reassessment. Maybe that's better, maybe not.

Like Zach, I also don't like to be "play-calling guy," so I appreciate the nuanced discussion of the issue. Good pod, as always.

This is true. It definitely feels like the Packers bought this win with his contract.

When offense seems like it's brain surgery, despite quality individual performances, is the issue just play calling, or is that an oversimplification?

Also: Golden looks fast on crossers, and Parsons is a monster.

I really hope you and @texwestern.bsky.social can go two for two.

All gas, no rakes?

Oh my.

Honestly, maybe Coach Z should be on the staff.
