I think it's unfair that some teams got to play LA/SF/etc. with their current playbooks, but future teams have to play them with 'real' offenses. That's true. Rams with a different playbook will change things pretty dramatically imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, i basically agree. keeping a consistant roster, etc is kind of the point of round robin play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 DEN, GB, HOU, BUF, CLE, and TB are all top-8 in both points scored/allowed. Atlanta is 10th in points allowed but outscoring the second-best offense by 5 PPG. I think Cleveland is definitely making the playoffs despite being 3-2, the No. 2 defense with even an average offense and an MVP candidate quarterback will carry them. Final playoff spot looks to be a toss-up between Tampa Bay, New England, Arizona, and Pittsburgh, in that order IMO. Tampa Bay would be my pick as they've looked like a top-3 team at times, but the Burrow injury could be impossible to overcome and they did find a way to lose to both New York and Washington. Anyways this is fascinating with a clear upper-class and bottom-class forming through just five games. Three of the bottom five teams are clearly there because of a single identifiable problem: New York and New Orleans have quarterback issues, while LA has a bad playbook for their QB. San Francisco is tanking because of a combination of bad offensive line play and a playbook that exacerbates the issue. Washington just has had everything go wrong from what I can tell. Mahomes isn't utilized optimally with the playbook, receivers don't seem very good, offensive line has struggled, defense lacks playmakers, and a tough schedule on top of everything else. I think this has been a good learning experience for everybody, and I'm already looking forward to applying what I know now about different players and playbooks to the next sim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tecmo Bowl is only counting points scored against the defense, I'm calculating total points. My numbers are including defensive scores, kickoff returns, etc. Edited July 18, 2020 by Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
