NFL Thread v2: The 2020 NFL Season!

[Thermodolia]

I think Atlanta’s offense would be pretty easy to run. Have 9 guys pass block, keep Devonta Freeman off the field, since you’re passing every down, and throw it to Julio.

It’s also easy to defend against

So the NFL figures out what a catch is. But can’t call pass interference correctly?!

or roughing the passer/kicker

Baby steps I guess.

Zebras: the original overzealous moderaters

You have the Bills scoring 35 points? With Nathan Peterman at QB? On the Ravens D in Baltimore? And winning 35-9? I think you fucked up here.
538 has the Ravens at 64% prob for the win, but hey, that's why they play the games.
BTW, I think it might rain Sunday.
Good luck.

Since you asked, xkoranate is a type of RNG with weighted dice - it's not gonna be completely accurate.

To add to my sins:

• The Bills' Elo is 1502. The Ravens' Elo is 1535.
• The Bills' deviation from mediocrity (1500) is only +2. The Ravens'? +35 (a difference of 33 Elo).

Theoretically on a scale of 0-3000, you'd be absolutely right to expect a score to be much closer (and the Ravens to win)!

We're lucky the NFL doesn't completely rely on RNG. On that note, look at tonight's game. The Elo matchup is a little more skewed (in favour of the Eagles, by 46). I have the Falcons winning 10-3. They were up 6-3 at the half now.

The bottom line: Elo does not tell all!

NOTE: Both the Falcons and Eagles (by way of performance over the last 2 seasons, mostly) have Elo well above the NFL average, so you'd expect something close.

But I'm still as surprised as you are that xkoranate cranked out a 35-9 win for the Bills. I'd be equally as surprised if the Bills win by ONE.

Oh would you look at that another flag. That makes it our 10th

hence my comment. I wasn't disagreeing with that, but apparently the refs did...

[Freezic Vast]

That 3rd down play tho...

[Trollgaard]

I love the way this ref says penalty. I want him to ref every game.

[Freezic Vast]

Touchdown Philly!!!
