HemiBeers Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) I like this new playoff format. Don't like having 2 bye teams per conference. The extra team reduces the possibility of a 10 win team missing the playoffs. Even Washington gave TB a game of it.The Washington-Tampa game would have been played under the old format. The Buffalo- Indianapolis game was hyper entertaining. On the other hand, an 8-8 Trubisky led team made the playoffs :facepalm:true and the 10 win dolphins missed the playoffs, but they were in opposite conferences. the only realistic improvement on this is you have cross-conference matchups if the win totals are greater for the last 1-2 teams, i.e. no bears, miami plays in nfc. there's always been conferences a little out of balance, especially in the nba. there's been the idea in the nba to seat 1-16 based solely on win totals.

driventotheedge Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Watching the stealers shit the bed last night helped ease the pain of the Seahawks beat down at the hands of the Rams if only a tiny little bit. I lived in Bengal Land for my first 22 years. The old Bengal fan in me LOVED seeing the Steelers get humiliated. I've lived in Packer Land for the past 38 years. This Packer fan LOVED seeing the Seahawks get beaten down. ;) :( :banghead: :sigh: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Looks like Urban Meyer is headed to Jacksonville. He's quit 2, high profile college coaching jobs due to "health" reasons and I don't think he'll last long in the NFL either. A whole different kind of stress, but a lot of it.

goose Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The game I'm most looking forward to is New Orleans-Tampa Bay. It has all the makings of an epic gridiron battle. Two hall of fame QBs, one of which (Tom Brady) that was embarrassed in the teams' first two meetings this season. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do respect Rodgers' talent and mental acumen from the QB position, but seriously, there are few other men on the planet for whom the word "bitch" is more appropo.

Self-Indulgence Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 If the Rams can get first downs by running the ball, they'll have a real chance to win the game. I'm worried about the passing, though. And the weather. GO RAMS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek19 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) If it wasn't for the way Pittsburgh played against Cleveland, then in one of the A.F.C. Divisional games, it would've likely been Pittsburgh, and Buffalo. It would've, and could've gone either way. Pittsburgh, hasn't ever had, and been a useless N.F.L. team. Before the Kansas City, and Cleveland Divisional game started, I hoped that Kansas City would beat Cleveland.
