How did you guys do in your fantasy leagues this year?
I lost out of playoffs in an ESPN PPR league because Henry's knees asplode...
I squeaked into a playoffs in a sleeper(platform) league, did I fulfill the prophecy of honoring the "dream team" 10th anniversary going 7-7 bros?

The Cardinals are making the Detroit Lions look like a fucking playoff team. This season just refuses to have a normal week.

Johnathan Taylor has carried me to the best record and hopefully the championship

I had Henry and Taylor. Henry getting hurt screwed my team badly, although Taylor has done real well. Everyone else I drafted early has gotten hurt for at least part of the season (Hopkins, Wilson), so my team is going to miss the playoffs.

I still don't understand how going for 2 is the "smart" move there, even according to analytics...

There are still ~45 seconds left. The average NFL 2 point conversation rate is 45%, so you are basically scoring 0.9 points vs the (almost always) automatic Tucker extra point.

Going for 1, you give Rodgers 45 seconds to march down the field.

Going for 2 and you miss, you need the onside kick, then to get down the field and get a field goal. Getting an onside kick is pretty unlikely (8%) and then going down the field for a field goal, while probably a pretty okay chance with 2 time outs, still doesn't really add up to that. Probably a 6% chance of winning in this case?

Going for 2 and you make it, you still give Rodgers 45 seconds to march down the field (same as going for 1).

So the most likely scenario, going for 2, is you lose. The least likely scenario still gives Rodgers 45 seconds to go downfield and win the game with a field goal.

It's one thing if you are on the road and your defense and kicker sucks, but they had stopped GB on the previous drive and have the best kicker in NFL history in Tucker.

I picked randos and didn't pay attention at all (like I always do) and didn't win but I beat a bunch of guys that really really tried and pissed them off (like I always do) so it was well-worth the buy-in.
 
Ma boi Brady and the Bucs were completely shut out by the now 7-7 Saints. Zero. Zilch. Goose-egg. The Saints' defense was so brutal that IIRC the Bucs were only able to attempt one field goal, which was shanked.

What a weird Sunday.
 
It's a bit early, but what do we think about next year's USFL relaunch? Did you even know it was happening?

Here's the basics I've picked up from some cursory research; Eight teams from around the country in two divisions, but all games will be played in Huntsville, making the city associations with the teams completely useless. Ten regular-season games, two semi-finals involving the top two teams from each division, then the championship game. Starts in April, so no kick-off on the weekend after the Super Bowl like we got with XFL '20. The league is basically owned by Fox, but some games will be shown on NBC properties.

There aren't any details on any rule differences from the NFL yet. Seeing as how I feel the XFL's rule changes, particularly the double forward pass and the PAT changes, led to some interesting differences in play without leaving the game unrecognizable, I hope they do mix things up at least a little bit in that regard.
 
Cardinals suck now and the Bucs are offensive trash. This really might be Rodgers's year.

Sounds about as exciting as that weird three-man football league that briefly existed a few years ago. And of course they brought back the New Jersey Generals just to shit on Orange Man. Fuck 'em all.

Watching people get assblasted over the COVID thing with him while he's kicking ass has been delightful to me. More accurately listening to my ardent Rams fans downstairs neighbors absolutely lose their shit when the Packers beat the Rams warmed the cockles of my heart.
 
Baker Mayfield confirmed out for today with the Kung Flu. I'm glad he's calling out the contradicting rule though.

Give him another year, and he's sure to reach Jay Cutler's level of No Fucks Given.

Bears have like 20 players and coaches out today. So of course they're going to snu-snu the Vikings.

Birmingham AL just finished a stadium for a no name league. This is like the 5th or 6 attempt at bringing a pro team to Birmingham. The point is, in Alabama most people there don't care about pro football. Having the #1 college team in the nation on the regular is enough. It's SEC or GTFO. That and it's Alabama, most of the country doesn't give a shit anyway.
