Chances to make the playoffs along with the impact of this week's game.

This is the poo poo I love. A while back 538 had a tool that calculated how each game of the week affected your team's playoff chances. It was fun to decide who to root for based on that. But sadly I don't think they've brought it back

Hello friends I know that some of you are still confused and concerned to be living in the darkest timeline, so I would like to direct you towards this handy guide of noted BFF of Tom Brady and harbinger of the end times future president Donalt Trump: www dot trumpdebatefacts dot com.

In it you will find handy fact-checks to help clarify what you can expect from our slow decent into soul-sundering apocalypse and the rending of flesh 19-0. Here is an example.



I am very excited to be going on this journey with you all and find "Discord" to be an appropriately-branded means of communication for the horrors that await us all.

They fuckin' love throwing quick outs to LevBell at the goal line (I think he got a few fades even?), this makes sense to keep the threat/option to run there anyways. Smart.

Interesting article on why teams playing at the Packers stay in Appleton rather than Green Bay.

quote:

This is the most peculiar hotel situation in the NFL. While there are numerous fine hotels within spitting distance of Lambeau, teams choose to stay a ways away at what is not exactly a luxury establishment. “A 30-minute drive from the hotel to the stadium is pretty commonplace in other NFL cities,” Aaron Popkey, the Packers’ director of public affairs and former travel manager, told me, and, in places like Dallas or San Francisco teams frequently stay more than 30 minutes away from the stadium.* But according to Rich Ryman, the Packers business reporter for the Green Bay Press-Gazette, it’s the only situation where a visiting NFL team stays in a different city—not just a suburb or adjacent metropolitan area—from the home team.

[...]

Why isn’t Green Bay the place to be for visiting NFL teams? The NFL is a different league than it was in the 1980s. As pro football grew in popularity, the financial gap between fans and players grew, and front offices became more protective of their most valuable assets. Security details got bigger and teams wanted to be a bit more secluded. The Paper Valley offered the perfect give and take: Teams would sacrifice the perks (and price) of boutique downtown hotels for assurances of security and privacy. As one reporter summarized it for me, “the players are not fans of the hotel, but the teams are.” In other cities, teams sometimes find seclusion in the suburbs or near the airport—though they mostly choose to stay as close to the stadium as possible. Generally, they don’t skimp on expensive hotels. But when they fly to northern Wisconsin, they do.

I wouldn't have guessed the Vikings would be sitting so pretty here. I can understand why, they already have one win over Green Bay and the rest of the division is...shall we politely say questionable. Still possibly being in the 90% range after Sunday makes my brain balk at something.

Wins over Carolina and New York will also be pretty meaningful for potential Wild Card tie breakers.

The Raiders are currently the #2 offense in the NFL.

The last time the Raiders were top 5 was in 2002.

I'm not saying Derek Carr is Rich Gannon or Amari Cooper/Crabtree are Jerry Rice and Tim Brown, but...they're pretty great and it's really cool to watch!

It uses nfldb which is a bit of a bitch to set up, but yes it would give you pretty much anything you wanted. (I wrote the 1kyob code)

I normally use NFL Savant for team stats but it appears to be having a meltdown at the moment.

I also use SportingCharts but I'm not sure weekly team stats would be easy to find.
