Both games were close, but Winnipeg had a 14 point lead at one point in that game today. In Tdiddy's mind he should win every close game unless his team gets down early.

I don't think that's the case. I believe from all I've read during my time here it is only if he is down to a good running team. Otherwise it is a fluke.

Regardless we pretty much outplayed his team the entire game and came away with the loss because of some key mistakes.

GG FSM. You made the plays when it counted.

Absolutely. Such a weird turnover situation. 3 total turnovers, and all 3 were interceptions. Just guessing on builds for both teams, but even though FSM has some Int investment...it's a little flukish.

Hub loses to Whoville because we called middle overload vs. an inside run on a 4th and 1. lol

Running needs a nerf ldo.

wow, one hell of a run by Tortoise. If you pause it at frame 60, 9 of their 11 defensive players were either going to the ground or on the ground via pancake, missed dive, or broken tackle

That is Marshawn Lynch beast mode right there. MVP.

7 INTs the last 5 games has dropped Candices QBR from Saul-Silver-like 120ish to 110ish on the season.

Candice threw 4 INTs in a scrim today against a Pro team... WTF is going on?!?!?!

Maybe it's "that time of the month". I'd ask her, but from previous experience, that is a bad idea.

SO, who do you guys think will finish with overall #1 end of season? With DA losing today, it makes the final finishing rankings pretty cloudy

My money is on GA... they've played all the "big boys" already other than BME and Hub, two teams that can supply some ELO and two teams I think they will beat. They have the easiest path for sure. They could definitely go undefeated from here on out. DA/Madison will probably have to play twice more and MeM would have to play one of them in Hydro Champ if they get by Whoville, a tough road for any of them to win out.

And no Kayoh, I'm not peacocking Hydro League, it is a legit question... this season looks like it will be a tighter finish than ever atop the ladder. Any of the current top 5 could finish outside the top 5 end of season.

My money is on the "most hated" Madison Bulldogs

are you being serious or messing with me

GA was my serious answer

Madison isn't even playing like a top 5 team right now.

In that case I pick DA, but my non-DA pick would still be Madison. MEM and GA are both really good but still susceptible to losing due to their offense getting shut down.

Whoever wins Hydrogen is probably finishing #1

Maybe Bort nerfed passing?

GA can't finish #1 unless someone does us a favor and keeps us from facing Logzilla in the playoffs.

10 points will nt beat them, and so long as Xars doesn't bone his tactics on defense, I'm convinced that's the ceiling for our offense.

GA-LZ is one of those games where we could literally run open playbooks and tactics pre-game and it wouldn't matter. We almost already do.

I'll probably run 3-4 Outside House Blitz pretty much all game. What's GA going to run on D? Oh yeah, 5-2 Man Base.

It's not really the 3WR offense that's really the reason logzilla is successful IMO... as there are plenty of horrid plays out of 3WR formations, it's specific PLAYS they use out of the 3WR. We use the exact same ones, plus some out of 2TE and 2WR that I think has improved Candices efficiency as a passer. I'm pretty sure there are a few offensive plays Logzilla could throw in that would make their QB more effective, and offense less predictable, but that's just my opinion.

yes and no... he's a volume guy, but is still only catching 58% of his targets which isn't exactly mind-boggling, while they have a TE that's catching 64% of his targets... You can have a guy without the slot SA in that position, or a guy with a slot SA at WR1 or WR2... we don't even have a slot SA WR at Madison.

They could def run a few plays out of the 2WR

Was thinking about this over the last few days and finally got back to my desktop.

I started looking at some comparable numbers for Sedita, Belgarion and Latimer - the top 3 WR Hof.

Sedita catches 69.65% of targets; Belgarion 59.75% and Latimer 61.70% through yesterday's Ladder games.

Both Sedita and Latimer catch screens while Belgarion doesn't.

I went through GLB2Scout and took out Screens (Sedita 59 for 70 and Latimer 74 for 86). Here's the revised data:

Sedita catches 66.76%; Belgarion 59.75% and Latimer 53.09%.

I was then curious about how Screens effect the QB ratings - Saul, Belgarath and Candice. Here's some more interesting data:

YPA for QBs by WR sets:

2TE: Saul 5.9 and Candice 5.7
2WR: Saul 9.6 and Candice 9.0
3WR: Saul 8.1; Belgarath 7.6 and Candice 8.2
4WR: Saul 3.6 and Candice 8.6

Clearly Screens remain the most broken aspect of the Passing game as 2WR YPA is significantly greater than 3WR.

Obviously, the best Passing built team today would have a Pass Blocking FB with a Scatback HB and S* WRs and TEs and run 2WR all day long.

Though if you want to build a team on a budget (or as a single owner), LZ with only 2 S* (QB and WR) is doable and only slightly less efficient (.5 YPA) than loading up on S* WRs/TEs.

Finally, there's the Salary Cap Allocation.

DA: Saul/Sedita is at $80.05 mil
LZ: Belgarath/Belgarion is at $67.61 mil
HB: Candice/Latimer is at 72.15 mil

Looks like screens aren't what makes Sedita good.
