It's that time of the season.

Easy explanation is that now every team has much higher chemistry.

but so have we... we've prob dealt with more chem than most vet teams

chem for us - quite a few guys on the O-Line were new... better blocking now (less prssure, less INTs?), S* TE better than he was

If chem is the explanation, why didn't the same thing happen last season, and why aren't other top-tier QBs suddenly throwing more INTs?

ok, there HAS to be some kind of game-to-game morale... it is just ridiculous how Candices season has gone...

5 INTs in first 15 games (or 5 in 17 games if you include competitive scrims), 101 TDs (6.7 per game)
14 INTs in next 9 games (or 18 INTs in next 10 games including competitive scrims), 46 TDs (5.1 per game)

my schedule wasn't backloaded at all. It's like she suddenly has turned into a giant head-case.

Her interception numbers are basically on pace compared to last season. Just a matter of statistics catching up with her.

Are you insinuating her has blood coming out of her...whatever?

Last season she was new, and dealt with chem herself.... if anything, she SHOULD be playing better this season

so are you saying the game basically looks at builds, determines that someone is playing well over the span of a certain number of games, and will compensate the other direction? A slide down to what she should be doing makes sense... but that much of a flip-flop stands out

The fact that she flipped over to "the bad side" EXACTLY half way through the season is a little weird too

Ints are more likely a byproduct of the quality of the CB/LB (can the CB convert on a bad or contested pass to get the INT?) as opposed to the quality of the QB. So the chem benefit to some of these secondaries could be the reason.

Not. Not at all. Statistically speaking, 5 interceptions over 15 games is a statistical anomaly. It was bound to "catch up with her." I would also probably call 6 interceptions over 2 games a statistical anomaly. That, however, probably has something to do with her first pick being early in the game and the morale hit that causes. I'm just guessing, though.

then WHY haven't all the other elite QBs had the same thing happen to them?

Silver has thrown slightly more per game this 2nd half (but not to anywhere near an extreme as Candice), but Balgarath, Gannon, Sharpe, and Bullet Bait have all stayed around their average throughout the season (ie - not throwing more now then they did early in the season). If improved chem LBs and CBs cause more INTs late in the season, why haven't they been picking those 4 off at an increased level?

Sometimes statistics works that way.

Welcome to the World of Understanding Type I and Type II errors.

There could be a boat load of reasons behind that. Play calling both offensively and defensively. I know both myself and Mercy went almost all coverage against you. Early on the thinking was all out blitz. When thinking about chemistry you have to understand that other people are dealing with it too, not just you. So while early in the season some teams may have been dealing with significant weaknesses in their secondary where now a different story. Heck DD absolutely destroyed my team early in the season because our secondary had so many issues both in chem and SA's, not to mention we weren't ready to face a great mostly pass team. Down the stretch a different story. We picked you twice and we are still investing SP's daily as our guys are pros. Then there is the RNG of how the game is going.

Maybe it is just bad luck? Who knows really. So many variables over the course of a season.

We both have good D's with poor O's? Should be interesting!

I predict a 3-3 Tie

Oooo, ballsy call Mr. High Scoring Extravaganza. Going with a 2-2 Tie. We both get safeties.

GG Southside. I had a feeling you would try to get sneaky on offense.

wasnt anything too different honestly, I roled out our 3 wide attack and threw in a few screens. our defense idk what dreg was trying to do there

GG Kentucky, your D kept us out of the end zone. Only punted 4 times yet only put up 23 points.

Also, no idea what your tactics are, couldn't figure out a rhyme or reason when you'd run zone and when you wouldn't. Good luck next season if you're sticking around.

oopsy my bad lol.
