| Topic | NFL Pick'em Topic: Divisional Round |
| thekitchensink 01/14/21 4:50:08 PM #7 | Congrats to all those who advanced! I'm happy to just watch the divisional round with no stake in who wins. Hooray, neutrality! Since I missed the tiebreaker discussion in the last topic, here's my 2 cents: I thought the tiebreakers were fine, and I don't think TB1 read at all as if the second closest would be correct if no one got the closest. In my mind, nobody getting TB1 right just means we all 'tied' at getting that tiebreaker wrong, so it moves onto the next tiebreaker. I think the important thing is to have TBs that "increase in scope", if you will, so that the set of possible answers to the TB questions gets bigger as you go further down. I assumed that was why you picked what you did for TB3 - because while, yes, it was technically possible to tie that one as well, picking a single number out of hundreds of possibilities (let's say, 80-300+ yards) is nigh-impossible to tie compared to, effectively, picking a single number out of 6 (which of the 6 games will have the greatest margin) or out of 12 (which of the 12 teams has the highest rush yards). If there was a mistake, it may just have been doing 2 "team-scope" TBs for the both TB1 and TB2. I like having TB1 be team-based as it fits with the competition the rest of the year, but perhaps TB2 should then be player-based, so that there are maybe 20-30 different options (how many players in all games combined will have at least 40 rec yards? etc.), and then TB3 is yards-based, so there are hundreds of different options. The other key thing to note is whether the chosen TBs are discrete or relative. Discrete ones, like picking the teams, can just be "right" or "wrong". But relative TBs, like the yards guesses, can be compared by distance from the correct answer. Maybe TBs 2 and 3 should be relative ones, to reduce the possibility of a tie all the way down. --- - TKS - The Witness |

| thekitchensink 12/20/20 11:12:18 PM #47 | I also love that it is basically just as much "loljets" as "lolrams" in this situation, what with 1st overall pick etc. UltimaterializerX posted... Oh Im not as mad about it as I would be had I lost to the Jags, but I am so over morons telling me how smart Sean Mcvay is. You dont get to lose to the Jets at home as a 17 point favorite and be considered a good coach. Yeah... hard to argue with any of that. I would still tend to blame Goff over McVay. Can debate run vs. pass as the overall calls on those 2 plays you mention but there were short targets available too. McVay can put the guys on routes but he can't make Goff pick a receiver. The game plan / scheme is more on McVay for sure, the way they play, coming back is hard. The running clock was definitely noticeable. But Goff also may play a part in that as well, running the huddle digesting the defense etc. And I feel like McVay has to talk Goff through every game, just constantly in his ear. There's plenty of fault for McVay, I guess I just think Goff is like ankle weights all the time lol. --- - TKS - The Witness |

| thekitchensink 12/19/20 1:45:40 PM #16 | I'm also on the Rams. I agree the Giants have risen out of seriously bad. And the Bengals are only seriously bad from the depression of losing Burrow, I think. The team has talent. I would say the Cowboys after losing Dak are actually worse than the Bengals after losing Burrow, but I don't think I ever had to pick against them bc the Jets and Jags are so terrible. btw, as a Titans fan, even as bad as the Titans secondary is, with no Kenny G and an injured-at-best Stafford the Titans should win that game easily. The offense would have to come out really flat to not strongly assert itself over the Lions' weak defense. --- - TKS - The Witness |
