Malfatron Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 WEEK 9 preview playoff cusp teams need a statement game against a good team. these could either solidify playoff outlooks or make it murkier: jets at falcons bills at steelers texans at rams packers at buccaneers should be easy wins by the favorite, but both favorites definitely capable of blowing it saints at patriots cardinals at raiders game of the week here, especially if jacobs comes back: browns at broncos lol: buttmunchers at 49ers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I had a game my qb went 0-21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoosh Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 WEEK 1 jets at steelers 16-10 WEEK 2 buccaneers at jets 21-24 OT WEEK 3 jets at bills 14-17 WEEK 4 raiders at jets 35-17 WEEK 5 browns at jets 33-0 WEEK 6 49ers at jets 3-24 WEEK 7 texans at jets 49-20 WEEK 8 jets at saints 23-17 OT two of your wins came in OT (one possession), with one of those being against the 2-6 saints. your best win is against the bucs (5-3), which was the other OT win. you got blown out by the worst team in the league. you lost to the browns and texans by a combined 62 points. your biggest win was against the 1-7 49ers. numbers suggest you're lucky to be 4-4. the two other 4-4 teams have 54 and 42 points on you respectively. better to be lucky than good though.

Scoundrel Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Next game might be scary for me with Cleveland looking good. My defense is letting me down a bit although Marcus Peters did have three picks in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Playoff analysis Playoff heavy favorites 1. @swoosh- Falcons - 7- 1 (+124) clear favorite to win it all. The offense is ridiculous, and defense is good enough 2. @Counselor - Broncos - 7-1 (+101) Hamler is the leading rusher, Rodgers is lights out at times, and defense is among the best in the league 3. @bigbadbuff - Bills - 6-2 (+29) somehow manages to get it done most weeks. The defense and Aaron Donalds relentness makes up for Allens inconsistency Likely to make playoffs 4. @Blue - Texans - 5-3 (+55) Among the best rushing game, but have problematic defense 5. @Pickle Rick - Bucs - 5-3 (+52) When they are on, theres no stopping them. But they are too inconsistent. Burrow has 3 picks in the end zone thus far. 6. @MWil23 - Browns - 5-3 (+34) Injuries and weirdness has plauged this team, but when they are on, both offense and defense can be very good. 7. @Deadpulse - Patriots - 5-3 (+23) offensive issues, but their stout defense can vault them into the playoffs Playoff cusp: 8. @squire12 - Packers - 4-4 (+7) What a large dropoff in the last few weeks. Definitely has the talent to get it done though and make a playoff run 9. @rackcs - Steelers - 4-4 (-5) very gritty performances lately have positioned this team for a possible playoff run. Brees needs to be on point, but they can rely on their defense. 10. @bcb1213 - Jets - 4-4 (-47) They have been in close games, bur Bens QB play and Mixons injury may have hamstringed this teams playoff chances. Needs to go on a big run: 11. @The Orca - Rams - 3-5 (+3) Looks whos offense just woke up! Nobody wants to play the Rams right now. Its possible they could either go on a big run or spoil some teams playoff chances 12. @HoboRocket - Cardinals - 3-5 (-53) Has won a couple very close games, but need a lot of things to go in their favor to make a run Basically out of it: 13.@daboyle250 - Buttmunchers - 2-6 (-29) Shows flashes of exceptional ability, but only glimpses. Defense is too poor to be a threat 14. @Dome - Saints - 2-6 (-87) Kyler Murray is terrible 15. @TLO / @mission27- Raiders - 1-7 (-101) defense is too terrible, although their offense is good enough to win some games 16. @Forge - 49ers - 1-7 (-106) Perfect storm of ineptness Edited July 20, 2020 by Malfatron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 My team is also trash at stopping kick returns so if Jacobs is healthy as the most YPR on kickoffs I think he likely may score a KR in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 My prediction is I finish 11-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch what happens to Quenton Nelson on 4th and 16 at the 13:24 mark, as well as at the 15:10 mark. It will make your day. And for anyone who wants to come at me about Nelson, he's given up a grand total of 2 sacks across 2178 career snaps. Both sacks came as a rookie, where he played the second-most snaps of any player in the league. Edited July 20, 2020 by HoboRocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 PIT at TB: Stifling defense once again kept Pittsburgh in the game despite giving up big plays. In spite of that, Burrow kept picking up yardage with his legs to keep drives alive or at least improve the punting position. Rudolph fumbling at midfield to start the second half was a momentum killer and nearly ruined Pittsburgh's chances for an upset. Luckily, an endzone interception and the power rushing of Derrick Henry saved the day as Tampa continues to be a baffling team to figure out. NY at NO: Incredible luck for New Orleans at the end of the first half, throwing a pick that is then fumbled and returned for a Saints touchdown. Fumbling AGAIN at the start of the 2nd half brought New York back into the game instead of effectively putting them away, and it was surprising to see turnovers unrelated to Murray hurting the Saints. Colquitt was an impressively bad punter this game, adding to the litany of unforced errors in this game. BUF at ARI: Arizona's offense can move the ball but really struggles to actually score, while Aaron Donald had his best game of the season. Arizona continues their fade into obscurity while the Bills continue their trend as a top Tecmo Bowl team. NE at HOU: Wentz continues to demonstrate outrageously bad decision-making as a passer by ignoring open receivers to throw to covered ones, and it's finally costing this team. Essentially giving New England the ball to start both halves AND allowing them to score to end the first half was a back-breaker. The Texans had no answer for the NE receivers as an inability to stop anyone when the front five doesn't get home continues. New England's skill players juked the back seven out of their pants all game, and if they can show up like that in the playoffs, they might be a dangerous out. OAK at DEN: The only exciting thing in this game is the Tom Brady injury. If Oakland had ever had a season, that would have basically ended it. LA at SF: LA continues to rip off wins as they make an improbable push up the standings. San Francisco was lucky to put points on the board; just when you think things can't get any worse for them, getting trounced by the Rams happens. ATL at GB: Stafford was flat-out bad in this one, ruining the Packers' hope of throwing an upset party. Russell Wilson finally threw an interception, but as it ended a half, it didn't matter. Barring some crazy playoff upset, Atlanta and Denver seem destined to play in the Tecmo Bowl. WAS at CLE: THE RETURN OF DESHAUN WATSON. A half-ending touchdown to take the lead going into the 3rd was big, especially kicking off to Washington to start the second half. Jalen Richard has done well filling in for Josh Jacobs at running back, so it hasn't been as rough sledding as one might expect without him. A total lack of defense down the stretch made this a can't-miss Monday night game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
