Yes, usually if we are at 6 points, the backup keeper gets the last group game, but who knows what the BBQ King will do.

I have to give credit to the Scuffed Podcast guys for the picture and the moniker. They've been playing this one strong.

Happy Monday. Midway through the season (for most teams). We're below the playoff line (and if New England win 1 of their 2 games in hand, we drop to 11). But it's tight with just 5 points separating 2 through 10.

We've done an incredibly good job keeping our heads above water this season, while also getting lucky that this is a particularly weak conference.

More like a Hippo in the water than keeping our head above

It counts! I haven't particularly enjoyed it, but things could be a lot worse around here.

It's not weak.
The playoff line projects to 52-53 points. The West projects to just 44. NYCFC projects to end with 50 points at current pace.

The last team to make the playoffs in the East had 40 points in 2024 and 43 in 2023. In 2022 only 7 teams qualified and even then the line was 48 and the 9th place team had 42.
Which is to say your point that "We've done an incredibly good job keeping our heads above water this season" is stronger than you seem to realize.

Yeah the west is really weak this year, a difference in 8-9 points in playoff line is huge between conferences.

We need to be at least the 8th seed since the front office is saying that the first 2025 "home" playoff match is included as part of the 2026 season ticket package.

Looking at how fast Man City is making signings this window, it sure doesn't feel like our slow nature is due to Machester's indecision.
