NFL Week 18 Games

lol. What happened to the Dolphins offense? Super bland nowadays

The entire offense and the teams identity revolves around Tua. They build a team around his skill set. When he's healthy, that offense is fun to watch. When he's hurt, they are f'd.

I know the Chiefs are resting their starters and all that, but fresh off the heels of a 38-0 drubbing and handing your division rivals a playoff berth in the process isn't exactly how you want to go storming into the playoffs. Especially when your starters are gonna be pretty damn rusty after resting week 18 and then having a bye week. They're going to be close to a month on the shelf. Felt like that approach came back to bite the Manning era Colts a few times.

I hope so. I cannot stand anything about that team. I can find a reason to root for any other team that made the playoffs over them

Honestly there's really not much about the team itself that I don't like, but the media and refs giving them the Brady/Belichick era Pats treatment was getting old and then the Taylor Swift bullshit added to it just put it over the top. But again, that's really nothing to do with the team itself, more the NFL and the media.

I knew the Chiefs were resting players but I think they really just don't want Burrow to get into the playoffs. Should get a fine or lose a draft pick for this lol. 

I was looking around to see if anyone else was talking about this. Legitimately that is some overt bush league nonsense. I hope they get sent packing in the playoffs.

It would be hilarious if the Broncos ended up beating them in the playoffs after laying down today got them into the playoffs. LOL

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
