Drew Brees fumbled 5 times during 2018. Priest Holmes fumbled once during the regular season in 2003, yet fumbled in the playoff game. Shit happens. |

That was quite the ending in my game.
The game was tied with 20 seconds remaining. I tried a 60 yard FG and missed. He gets the ball back with 15 seconds left, completes a pass and makes a 54 yard FG. Uggh. |

Events (example fumble and recovery of the fumble) are treated independently. As you start making events more and more conditional, you shrink the sample size which makes simulations even more unrealistic.

Statistically, recovering fumbles is random. Brees’ rate of fumbling should be close to reality, but there’s no reason to think that his fumbles lost should be the same.

I can accept that Brees might lose a fumble in a playoff game. Now he loses two? OK, statistically, sure, I guess this was bound to happen. Wait, now another elite player who never fumbles loses one? What? And now my HOF QB also chokes at the end? What? A bridge too far, sorry. Sim needs work.

I'm sorry, but I can't control sim programming, making elite and yes, even Hall of Fame players, do very unrealistic things.

Hey Mahomes won MVP and had 2 fumbles in the Super Bowl. Sometimes it happens. And yes Brees still sucks. Haha

You're not giving my defense enough credit. There's a reason that we were a playoff team that is now in the divisional round. We make plays when it matters.

Mahomes also was clutch, which Brees, as an accurate sim would simmed, was not.
