    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    The problem I have with what this says is "could have gotten these teams to a Super Bowl". "A" Super Bowl? Sure. 10 in 21 seasons? That's a tougher sell for me. I guarantee if Rodgers was in Brady's spot all these years he'd have more than 1 ring. I don't know if he'd have 6 with a shot at...

    No, it wouldn't be 20. Even the greats have down games, and the NBA example is different in the sense that they play best of 7's where better team is more likely to win than single elimination where crazy shit can just fuck your entire season. He also did play against other good/great teams...

    This is true in a vacuum. When you do it over 20 years and multiple iterations of teammates even on the same team, then hop conferences and go to the Super Bowl again your first year in the NFC...you start to wonder if he was just the biggest part of the reason his teams went so much.

    One thing I'm noticing, even as the OP Night Fae mission table...is how unbalanced the companions are. Some are just vastly more useful/powerful than others. I finally got my first "tank" companion for Night Fae from Renown this week, Qadarin or whatever, and his ability is only a 1 round...

    And there it is, Caps at 13 points 5-0-3 through 8 games. Of course in the East, that doesn't get you much as Boston and Philly are both at 11 points and Boston has only played 7 games I believe.

    Although they will then be in the same spot Washington and Vegas were in needing to get at least a point in their next game assuming the Caps hold on to their 5-3 lead with under 8 minutes left currently.

    I have to say, Rodgers stats in those situations are not great. Unless he's playing the Cowboys.

    Tom anyway? Wasn't Mahomes the first QB ever to come from at least 10 down in 3 straight playoff games last year?

    Could be, they did already face them once and beat them, along with Denver's twice, the Ravens early in the season, the Saints, and they beat Cleveland already. Tampa's pass D has improved this year, but KC is just a different beast to contain.

    That's fair, I'd just heard people had grinded it fairly quickly and I did it semi casually but I do have the longest 2 left to do, obviously. Maybe it's b/c we did the whole fate grind thing in Eureka already that it seems so repetitive.

    With 1 extra game played than either Vegas or Washington, who are both only 1 point behind.

    Considering KC has seemed to spot everyone these last two playoffs (other than Cleveland) 2 scores at the start, I don't think they should ever be counted out completely. I'm a little curious to see what happens if KC ever has a playoff game that goes completely right for them...not going down...

    I got up to mettle 13 fairly easily when it first was released, haven't been on as much and not in there when I have been to finish it off, though. Are there less players in there to spawn as many fates nowadays? It was a bit grindy for sure, but this is all pre nerfs/catch up mechanics if...

    We looked okay tonight, especially early on, and knowing all the guys we are missing. I thought we were cooked for sure getting nothing on the 5 minute power play.

    I guess that sorta makes sense, although the original BA is still done by people that organize runs, crazy enough. Once everything is done in X.5, there's always a lot of time for people to run that you'd think.

    Is new bozjan only BA stuff? I thought this was confirmed not the last update to that stuff and figured the new BA would be last.

    The dumbest stat I saw was the "most career playoff wins" one. Brady is #1, obviously, Brady since turning 35 is #2.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    It's low...but the whole "no QB has never thrown for less than 6 per 1 on the ground" is problematic when Lamar is rushing for 1k yards a year. If he was throwing for 6k yards a year to go along with that they'd literally be winning every game by 20+ points and no one would be able to beat them.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I remember reading something that Payton said that if Brees had gotten hurt mid game they would likely use Winston, but if they had full week to prep a guy it would be Hill. Mostly because Hill is involved in so many extra position meetings each week with all the shit he does (does that fucker...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    All good points, also there was a clear difference in Tampa's D the last 7 or 8 weeks of the season last year in which they improved their pass D a lot. Their run D was great last year and this year (#1 in rush yards against/game both years), but the improvement of their D against the pass was...

    There wasn't anywhere with the group of pass catching talent that Tampa already had. Evans, Godwin, Brate, OJ Howard (although he got hurt semi early on)? Plus they added Gronk, AB, and Fournette's pass catching out of the backfield to Rojo on the ground. Clearly Winston wasn't going to take...

    I wasn't suggesting Brady didn't play well or didn't deserve praise (or credit). It was more me bringing up I'd heard some weird stuff making Tampa sound like they were some 4-12 team that are now in the Super Bowl only b/c of Brady. When in reality they were a pretty good team that if they...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    This is obviously true, but that same QB also put up 5k+ yards and 33 TD's (2nd most last year) to go with all those picks. Their D wasn't quite as good last year (came on 2nd half of the season) and they got better this year, plus added Gronk, Fournette, and AB. I just keep reading/hearing in...

    You know it's funny, for all the credit the Brady acquisition gets for turning around the Bucs...Ryan Succop may have been just as important. Bucs were 7-9 last year with arguably up to 4 losses last year that could have been wins with better kicking. Week 3 against Giants, 32-31 loss when...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Considering they have Taylor, Hines, and Wilkins at RB still (and Taylor is going to be THE guy), Mack isn't all that relevant. Also they really like their young WR's in Pittman and Campbell. Colts should be a very attractive landing spot for a QB.

    Depends how many guys they end up losing this year, and whether his LT is able to have a successful rehab. 2 other guys on their O line are free agents, including their Pro Bowl center. Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones are both free agents (although they did draft Dillon last year).

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    The biggest point you're forgetting is that the major component that is needed no matter what, with a 2 point or a FG is the TD. When you have the ball on the 8 yard line, with Rodgers, Adams, etc...that may be your best and only shot (and it was) to get that TD. Even if they make a stop on D...

    They were only 14-1 until they sat starters in Week 17, though. Not like it's really THAT surprising.

    Did the Bills meltdown or were the Chiefs just the Chiefs? Aside from a big Hill drop and the punt return fumble, they've pretty much done whatever they wanted on offense.
