2022 FFM Computer Simulation ‘Faux’ Season 2.0 (Weeks 13-15)

 

Back in May/June the FFM cast of characters did their individual computer simulations of the 2022 NFL season + playoffs, post-NFL Draft. Now, we’ve had a summer of OTAs and training camps and injuries and suspensions…and, well…it’s time for another quick check in on the FFM computer sim 2022 season.

Just a quick pre-preseason games version with quick notes as we post a block of results daily for the next 10 days leading up to the first real preseason week of games. We’ll do Faux 3.0 right after the preseason/right before the actual season starts.

 

 

Weeks 13-15 quick notes…

 

 -- The Chargers (13-1) are rolling along as the top team in the NFL…while ‘winless watch’ is on in Seattle (0-14), as we live through the remaining days of Pete Carroll as an NFL head coach.

 

 -- Breaking news items/surprises…

Buffalo (10-4) has finally seized control of the AFC East, two games ahead of NE.

The Colts (6-8) and Ravens (6-8) have fallen below .500, as the long knives are out for Frank Reich.

Carolina (8-6) is fighting strong for a wild card spot. The Baker trade may have saved Matt Rhule’s NFL career.

Detroit (7-7) is fighting for a wild card.

The Chargers have clinched the AFC West already and have a 3-game lead on the #1 seed.
