Week 15 Updated SoS and Rooting Guide to Top Pick


Seamonk

Recommended Posts

Updated SoS post Monday Night Games:

Cincy: .587

Carolina: .591

I'll post an excel file on google doc Wednesday night so people can track it themselves with a guide. After Wednesday I'm gonna be out of the country on Holiday so whoever else wants to use it and do it every week can.

I'd have to say, Even if the Bengals lose against the Browns, it'll count as 2 wins against their strength of schedule since they face the browns twice making the browns a "harder" team in terms of record.

Week 15 Rooting Guide:

Thu

SF@SD

Reason: SD Appears on their schedule. SF on ours. SD win means our SoS gets weaker and theirs stronger.

Sun

1pm

BUF@MIA

Reason: Wash. Both appear on their schedule once. Neither on ours.

DET@TB

We don't play Detroit. We do play Tampa. Tampa win would count against us twice since they're a division opp. Doesn't affect Cincy

ARI@CAR

I'll leave this up for debate. We CAN win this with Cincy still losing. We only play ARI once and it'll lower our SoS slightly since it'll add a loss to our schedule as well and Cincy losing would increase their SoS since it's a division opponent. However, standings come first and Leaving draft position up to a constantly changing Tiebreaker is risky.

NO@BAL

BAL win gives us 1 win (BAL) and 2 Losses (NO), and 2 wins and 1 loss for Cincy.

JAC@IND

Indy only appears on Cincy's schedule.

PHI@NYG

Giants were on our schedule. Not Philly.

CLE@CIN

Even though a CLE win would strengthen their SoS. SoS is only a tiebreaker. Standings come first.

HOU@TEN

Wash. Neither affects.

WAS@DAL

Wash. Neither affects.

KC@STL

We play STL. Neither team played KC. STL loss helps us more.

4pm

ATL@SEA

Would only add 1 win and 2 loss, vs 2 wins 1 loss. Only affects us.

NYJ@PIT

See Above. Only affects Cincy

DEN@OAK

Wash. Affects neither.

8pm

GB@NE

NE on their schedule. Neither on ours.

Mon

CHI@MIN

Only affects us.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
