Well, the Canes got a little help and will be playing for playoff positioning tomorrow against the Devils.

Just an idea of where things stand:

Metro

1. Islanders - 70 points

2. Capitals - 67 points

3. Blue Jackets - 65 points

4. Penguins - 63 points (Wild Card 2)

5. Hurricanes - 62 points

6. Sabres - 61 points

7. Flyers - 57 points

It's super hard to make up points in the NHL, the Flyers are 9-0-1 in their last 10 and still trail the Canes by 5 points (the Canes own the tiebreaker), the Canes need to make sure they keep winning the games they are supposed to.

Hopefully Philly will go 10-0-1 today and handle the Pens.

We got a little help from Winnipeg as they beat the Sabres in regulation today.

The projected cut line is now 93 points which drops the magic number down a bit. A record of 16-10 over the final 26 would put as at the 93 point marker. This number will fluctuate up or down depending on how the Flyers/Pens game goes tomorrow.

Go Flyers

    • If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?
    • It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay
    • If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
