JDB, I know you don't like the play overuse penalty, but this needs to be stopped:
https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/box/7739There is no reason that this should work. He's running the same 3 plays all game, with no penalty. They has to be a threshold where it can work to stop this kind of stuff without affecting the majority of games.
I really try to stay away from the dramatic proclamations, but if this style is allowed to spread in usage, it will severely hurt the game.
(Ray, this isn't a criticism of you - I know you're doing it for testing purposes - thank you.)
It's almost a perfect storm here . He blitzed alot( and was penalized for abuse ) and left his slower cbs on an island. Or played cover two. ( zones broke)
Equally disturbing was the defense . .....but one could say leaving 3 linemen with less that 30 pass block is a big mistake .
The most disturbing part, which had no part of my opponent , was me putting qb fatigue at zero. The result was my qb/rb convert , with less than 70 in every passing category , playing the majority of snaps till later in the game. He passed better if not equivalent to my high rated qbs .
Like I said blame it on the defense, but play choice seem to dominate . Well, combined with speed . Look at the plays others winning teams are picking . All Games are being decided with the same play combinations . Even in the older codes.
I don't think this is as much of a relationship with an abused play, but more of an exclusion of the plays that don't work. So many plays are just broke and are hurting a teams.
If a team played the right plays and players vs. This scheme both way I would lose....38 - 21.
Some other notes or oddities that took watching the game to see . My wrs just plain missed 20 catchable wide open *****. The abuse penalty was working if not I would have dropped 300 points or so .
