The only thing about the Steelers to love is the very likely scenario that they will have the first pick in the draft.

And the Steelers upset the Bucs. Is it "The Mission Curse?" Or is it just that the NFL is an inconstant mistress?

Quote: gordonm888I picked TB Bucs last week and this week. No way can I pick any game involving Tampa Bay again this year until I absolutely understand what the heck is going on. I mean, are they the reincarnation of the 1919 Black Sox? or did someone forget to deflate Tom Brady's footballs?

The funny thing is that Brady isn't even that bad at what is arguably the worst we've ever seen him. Granted, he's only thrown for eight touchdowns in seven games, but he also only has one pick...so I think you'd take an 8:1 TD:INT ratio out of anyone.
On the other hand, his yards per attempt and adjusted yards per attempt are the worst we've seen since his first few years in the league, but even without Gronk, I think one could argue that his receiving corp is at least as good as back then, but probably still a little better.
This is just what Tom Brady being human looks like. He's still (believe it or not) sixth in total passing yards, Top 10 in most categories (among QB's with 500+ passing yards), at least Top 16 in all categories except yards per things, has the fewest interceptions out of any QB to have attempted a meaningful number of throws and is tenth in QB RATE amongst QB's to throw for more than 500 yards this season.
Basically, he's a good (but extremely safe with the ball, per usual) starting QB so far this year, but we're used to seeing greatness. That said, even with the extra game, he's still on pace to throw the fewest TD's in a season for his career only including seasons in which he played sixteen games.
So...what's the problem?
The ground attack has been terrible, so they can't really mix it up and open up too many big passing plays. The Buccaneers are third in the league in pass attempts, so Brady has to prioritize safety because the offense can't really mix up the play calling. The offense ranks either dead last or next to last in every rushing category. All plays considered, they average JUST over three yards per rushing attempt and the ground attack accounts for a paltry 64.4 yards per game.
With that, some of this statistical drop off is, pretty obviously, not even exclusively on Brady.
Accepting everything posted about Brady, TB just seems to have a larger attitudinal problem. I suspect that many of their players aren't focused and giving 100% for some reason. (in agreement with Mission.)
Quote: Mission146Quote: gordonm888I picked TB Bucs last week and this week. No way can I pick any game involving Tampa Bay again this year until I absolutely understand what the heck is going on. I mean, are they the reincarnation of the 1919 Black Sox? or did someone forget to deflate Tom Brady's footballs?
I mean the result was different than the spread by 31 points.

The funny thing is that Brady isn't even that bad at what is arguably the worst we've ever seen him. Granted, he's only thrown for eight touchdowns in seven games, but he also only has one pick...so I think you'd take an 8:1 TD:INT ratio out of anyone.
On the other hand, his yards per attempt and adjusted yards per attempt are the worst we've seen since his first few years in the league, but even without Gronk, I think one could argue that his receiving corp is at least as good as back then, but probably still a little better.
This is just what Tom Brady being human looks like.... (snip)

I didn't watch the game, but I saw some of the highlights on the ESPN channel later, and if I remember correctly there were a few(?) "catchable### " (or better###) throws that were incomplete*** by the Bucs'.
###: By these I mean an "average NFL starting receiver" should have caught those 80%+ of the time.
***: For most teams I know this type of thing seems to happen at least once in every game.
Also, IMO I think I have only found "one good value line" to bet on for the Bucs' this season. Because of the "big name factor" the books' usually take 1 or more points off what they think the "fair line should be", when it is a "bigger name QB' vs a "closer to average QB".
Note: For the Panthers' game I thought the Bucs' should still have been a "fairly heavy favorite" (my estimate had them between a -8 and -7.5 fav').

NOTE: All Picks containing the early game came in at least one hour prior to kickoff (in fact, all Picks containing that game came in yesterday or earlier) and not only did no players picking the early game attempt to change their Picks, but no players whatsoever amended their Picks this week.
No love at all for the Packers or the Bengals. Everyone likes the Bills and the Browns.
A bit of love for the Texans over the Titans, the Rams over the Niners, and the Eagles over the Steelers.
Enjoy the games.
Quote: gordonm888If the Browns don't cover this Monday night, this will have been a bit of a down weekend for our contest pickers.

Yes. If the Browns don't cover, Regular Picks will be 33-44 and Confidence Picks 8-10. If the Browns do cover (now likely) Regular Picks this week will be 38-39 and Confidence Picks 9-9.

I was initially worried because I had sent a reminder to someone who had already picked, which (because of the way I do reminders) had to mean someone who had yet to pick didn't receive one. However, JW17 was sent a reminder, which means the person who was mistakenly not sent one did make their picks, so the missed reminder is moot.
That said, I do make an effort to make sure everyone who has not picked gets a reminder lest anyone be unfairly disadvantaged. I'll be more cautious in future weeks.
