Red Cards in Playoffs Week 4

Figured I’d get this dumpster fire started. Why is this year so much worse than any I can remember? Is it just that this season is more recent in my head? Something in the rules this year? People being rusty due to Covid?

Maybe we (as a community) love this game and hate to see it have issues. I feel like the number of red cards have been the same, but this is something that can be checked.

My guess is it’s a combination of several things.

  1. There’s a bit of rust
  2. This year’s game doesn’t really have any protected shooting areas so there’s interaction everywhere
  3. The game pieces are larger making intakes at a “perfect” height for sad interactions
  4. The allure of the end game (and no time around it) led a number of teams to design almost entirely for that and leave themselves with bots that will play aggressive def otherwise
  5. Recency bias
