since no one here is actually relevant in determining whether there's a remake or a time out win, let's debate this instead. it's an interesting topic and comes up every year.You're expected to play at your best regardless of the week. If you don't because "there are other weeks anyway", then get cheesed out of playoffs due to week 9 circumstances, you're the one to blame.
But if you play at your best all weeks, it gets back to what I was saying, ie they all have the same weight
Also no worries, I didn't take it as an attack
i believe that in a team tournament, a game's significance is increased as there are fewer games. any single game per week is as valuable as another single game, and any single week is as significant as any other week at the surface, sure. but as the ratio of available games and weeks decrease, the significance of a particular game / week in relation to future games / weeks increases. first blood is just 1/12 games, but ten games in, you're 1/2. as games decrease and as time drops from the clock, there is less of a safety net, a sense of urgency develops, any single game or play gets criticized more heavily, there's more pressure, etc. there's a reason less secure players tend to play early in the week and the most confident ones don't care when they play. i really don't subscribe to the overly simplistic "each game matters the same blah blah" philosophy since it simply isn't representative of the way anyone plays later games v earlier games as a team or even just in like...sports. less time on the clock, more fucks given about the time that's left
but that's distinct from this, just a debate i think is more interesting than Memez.
