And here are your individual charts, in case you want to analyze performance before the start of next season:
Mine:
What We Have Learned Here: The Redskins have a special brand of failure that is not necessarily predicated on their bad quarterback play. We should have know this because they had Donovan McNabb last year, and did almost exactly the same amount of nothing. Lesson learned - the Redskins make all their noise during free agency, and not so much as a whimper in either direction (good or bad) during the regular season. By post-season, they're not even a footnote anymore.
The 49ers and Bengals are going undrafted next year, those jerks.
The Bills were bad, as expected, but it took them far too long to get their affairs in order, and by then, there was no catching up!
Alison's:
What We Learned: The scoring system doesn't favor Alison's gameplan as much as anyone could have anticipated. By the final weeks, her QBs could have all gotten together, streaked naked and drunk through two cities, and sexted some reporters while getting arrested, and she still wouldn't have caught up. I wonder if the official website of BQBL is going to tweak the numbers for next year, or if I have to do it myself.
We also learned that the Browns and the Lions are surprisingly low scorers on the BQBL - not what we would have expected going into the season. Or, heck, looking back on the season. I don't really have an explanation on how the Browns scored so few BQBL points while going 4-12 with Colt McCoy and Seneca Wallace, and no Peyton Hillis.
Nan's:
What We Learned: Nan actually got lucky with the two "cat" teams he got. He could have filled his entire roster with cat teams, but I ended up with those lousy Bengals, and Alison was hit hard by the negative-scoring Lions. I suppose the Jaguars didn't really contribute to Nan's almost-win, either. What have we decided, then? This year's lottery fell on "horse" teams (Colts and Broncos) and "pirate" teams (Buccaneers and Raiders), not "cat" teams (Lions, Bengals, Jaguars, Panthers).
Rob's:
What We Learned: That Rob is a hacker! How could he have known that Jason Campbell, Kyle Orton, and Peyton Manning would all be out of action?! This is all very suspicious...
Xian's:
What We Learned: That despite fielding four (!) different QBs, Houston still managed to not only win a playoff game, but keep their total BQB score to a truly anemic 98. And the Seahawks, an early draft favorite, also mitigated their damages to a total of 302 points. This, again, speaks to the fact that a proper playbook and a level-headed coach are key factors in low BQBL scores, without even taking into account a quarterback's skill level.
