BDL 2022 Playoffs Week 1 - #6 Flint Tropics @ #3 Rome Eternals

[LAOJoe]

This Decker talk makes no sense because he started for us at RT for 5 of the first 7 weeks of the season. 1 week he was on the bench but Jonah Williams sucked so he moved to starter. Week 6 and a few other weeks he moved to LT when Armstead was out.

You can skip it. Majority is people arguing whether him punting last week mattered

Its a mix of people discussing Bcbs decision to mention how Flint sat one out last week in the gameplan and how it seems theres cherrypicking occuring now that its playoff tine. Honesyly, everything of relevance outside of mentioing flints week 12 matchup is in the gameplans.

Epic match up of DEOMMODORE Lenoir v Bernard Rainman

[LAOJoe]

Injuries and a late season trade to sit on the bench have sucked. At least I have it done so Safeties should be the 4th DB on 4-man sets lol.

Two similarly talented rosters. I think Flint has the advantage in the trenches, but that's something Justin Herbert has been very familiar with his entire career in the NFL. 

I think the biggest advantage in this game goes to the Rome receiving weapons vs the Flint secondary. I also feel like Flint's game plans are a little bit disjointed, like I'm not totally sure what they want to establish, maybe that's just me. 

I think Rome does a good job acknowledging and managing their weak spot on the OL, and can do enough to score on this defense through the air.

I've made it known how much I'm not a fan of base 4 WR sets in the past as it makes your team one dimensional and easy to adjust to. But I really don't understand Flint's gameplan really at all. They seem to just be listing off most of their players and saying we're going to use them all but there doesn't seem to be much strategy as to how they're going to attack Rome's weaknesses or play to their strengths. It just lists off a bunch (and I mean a bunch) of things they are going to do but there doesn't seem to be any cohesion in the plan at all. I'm really going to have to think hard on this one.

I have a hard time seeing how Nick Bosa just doesn't flat out wreck this game against Raimann even with help but a lot of other advantages in Rome's direction especially WR vs secondary. Tough call.

I don't think I can get over the lack of gameplan for Flint, there's no sense of strategy in what they want to do and how they want to attack Rome. I think the more focused and prepared team will execute better and get the win.

Flint pulls it out at the end 21-20

I just wanted to play solid without doing anything exotic and creating a bigger weakness to exploit. I thought it was obvious. I don't need to attack anything in particular. If they show 4-wide I pretty much said I want my 3 CBs and my safeties to act accordingly to what I mentioned in the gameplan. I didn't think it was confusing. I did notice I forgot to put in the focused types of coverage. I had them but in my rush to get this done I must have forgotten. I will not mention what it was at this point but I think it still showed basically what I wanted to do. That is for D. For O I thought it was pretty clear how I wanted to attack them.

You don't have to do something exotic, just have an actual plan besides play solid. Everyone wants to play solid but you should also have ideas to exploit your opponents. It's the playoffs now so every team is going to be playing at their best and so it's going to come down to the details now.

I wish bcb didn't hate TEs.  Cade Otton should be starting over Josh Palmer.

[LAOJoe]

Again, I don't see how I didn't make a plan to attack the defense at least.
