I mean I had a really good team in League 2 last season - went out in the conference championship. This season was a placeholder year when Dak went down, I sneaked into the playoffs on a tiebreaker and then Ryan Fitzpatrick catches fire, wrecks creation and I win the league.
Meanwhile this season in League 1 my team was the culmination of a 3 year plan that went 15-1 and broke every record on the books and lost in the conference title game (after winning a title it had no business winning last year).
The playoffs sure do seem super random.
I mean - apart from you and Clay losing. That's steady as the sunrise.

I have no answers for my teams lack of success in the playoffs. The loss to you makes sense that offense was built around Mostert which somehow won me 15 games. So the next season in the playoffs I decide to let Russ cook. He throws for 300 yards and 4 TDs yet I somehow lose on a fumble in OT.
