Super Bowl 55

Super Sim

by

If there has been any year that has felt like we’ve been living in a simulator, it has to have been 2020. With Super Bowl 55 peaking up around the corner, we went to the experts to deliver us a Super Sim of the game.

Conspiracy theorists are quick to point out all of the variables in play that lead them to believe that this is all some sort of cruel prank played on humanity by some vicious deity, or that our planet is somehow in a shoebox of some celestial toddler who looks at us from time to time.

Given what’s happened in the league and in the world at large, it’s not hard to see how.
Tom Brady runs another team in a different division to the big show, Aaron loses in the big show, Bill Belichick is pixelating, and AB is behaving. What is up with this world?

One thing that simulations are good for is Madden. Although rarely close to correct, running Madden simulations is a fun way to see how the game might play out if a computer ran the numbers for a few times. There are actually geeks out there who will run this game through numerous AI machines for a more correct prediction. These are the people who usually whoop you at DraftKings.

For this video we tap into Bobby V Gaming who has run his Madden to predict the big game on Sunday. These two teams did play on Week 12, when the Chiefs edged the Bucs 27-24, but how will it go down this time?

Final Score in the Simulation:
Chiefs 21 Bucs 16

We will be throwing down loads of Super Bowl predictions and fun throughout the whole week, so watch this space for more.

Season Review Podcast

by

And just like that another NFL season is done and in the books, as we take a look back in our Season Review Podcast.
It certainly was one of the oddest seasons, and will definitely be the lowest attended by fans on record.
From Covid to injuries, Covid to the New York Jets, the season got messy real quick.

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull look back at the season that was, and highlight the stories that shaped the year. The guys also make a team by team analysis of each team, what went wrong, and what they will need to do to right the ship for next season.

Some of the other things that the guys touch on in this podcast includes:

Stafford/ Goff Trade

LA got the QB that everyone wanted, but they really only have two years to pull it off. Detroit loads up on draft picks, and can start to whittle through the loads of ex Patriots players taking up valuable space. McVay now has a tough QB with a heck on an arm on him, if they can add a few more pieces to keep him safe, the Rams could be headed to a Super Bowl in a few years.

DeShaun Drama

Who wants a talented 24 year old QB with a big chip on his shoulder? Most every team would love Watson on their team, but no one really has the money to swallow him up. Despite every move made by the Texans, it will be tough to keep him happy and motivated.

Brady Bonuses

Did you know that TB12 was making some serious paper during his first NFC playoffs? Brady banked $500k for making the post season, $250k for beating Washington, then a further $500k for taking out Drew Brees. Severing the head of Aaron Rodgers brought Tommy another $500k, with the Super Bowl throwing a further $500k into the kitty. All told Tom Brady will make $28 million this year. Wowza.

Who Dak?

Dallas has a pricey bill to settle up. Throwing the franchise tag on Dak will be costly, especially when they have other expensive toys like Cooper and Zeke on the squad. The Cowboys are going to need to figure out what’s in their bank account for the next few seasons going forward.

QB Fiesta

There are loads of other teams and QB options to explore and the shifting sands of it all is really quite intoxicating. Aaron Rodgers has already started to massage his moustache as he looks if being a cheesehead for life is the best option. Goff is off to Motor City, but maybe he won’t be the starter? The Colts NEED a QB, the Bears aren’t going with Mitch, and what on earth are the Patriots are going to do? What about Carson Wentz?
The start of the 2021 NFL season is going to see a lot of guys in jerseys we never thought possible.

Offseason

The guys also talk about the big elephant in the room…the offseason. What the heck are we all going to do once this season is over? Do we all just go back to sleep or something?
