Week 12: Who do we root for?

Detroit, GB and Chicago are all in the hunt. A loss for any particular team doesnt add a team to the wild-card hunt. One of those teams is going to make the playoffs no matter what. We don't know which one, so we want them all to lose so that the non-division winners have worse records.

The exception being when the 1st place team plays a wc contender in their division. In that scenario, we'd want the top team to go ahead and win and put the other teams out.

The only game that matters is Saints/Falcons on Thursday night and Panthers/Dolphins. We're not going to lose enough for any other wild card team to pass us, I'm just looking to jump past the Saints for the division and the Seahawks for homefield. Looking at remaining schedules, it looks like the Panthers will end up with the #2 seed with an outside shot at the Seahawks for #1 overall.

    • In that case its in his best interest to fully recover. 
    • Looks like we're fifth in running plays/play action plays when in the lead and about 10th in the league when we fall behind.  The biggest thing I take from this is not that we drop off like that, because every team does, but that we drop off so much. A lot of the best teams don't  drop off much, depending on the game situation, preferring to stick to their game plan through out. Some of those are very good teams. Baltimore barely deviates from their run/action heavy plan. At the other end, KC also barely deviates, but they have one of the least run oriented attacks in the league by these stats. On the other side, there are teams that make even bigger shifts (based on last year's performance) and they are teams that for various reasons found themselves in desperation attempts. Dallas, Atlanta, the Browns, Bucs and Bengals were all literally throwing out their game plans and trying to either lean on their top end QB or were just frantically trying to create something downfield. Considering the years of us completely abandoning the run (oh those Matt Rhule days), maybe we are starting to stabilize. Don't even get me started on the Reich days...  
    • I am kindof in the camp that its not an addiction for him just a dumb ass kid who didnt think he would get caught.  I think the "addiction" angle was the story they went with in hopes of not being banned for life   But I doubt we show interest as I think he is going to be pricey (Draft capital wise)
