This week they actually have to play a real playoff team. I think you'll be happy with the results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss getting that nervous about games. Back in the day with the 80's Browns, it was fun, stress, and misery all rolled into one and I'd happily go back and do it all again. Good times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWhom Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 As far as the NFC I'll say this. If 49ers beat the Cowboys, they're going to the Super Bowl. If the Cowboys beat the 49ers, Eagles are going to the Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 1 hour ago, Cujo said: This only tempts the league/owners more to see how a neutral-site title game shakes out, how much revenue it crates for them. I don't see them making it a permanent thing right away, but giving it a try for one or two seasons. But I don't see how it would generate more revenue than the current system. Playoff gate is shared (after operating expenses), so there's no difference between a neutral site other than if the host cities have to bid (i.e. pay the league) to host. So unless I'm missing something big (which is possible), I'm not sure why owners would even want it due to potential competitive advantages some teams could have - Currently there's what - 6ish cities in the SB rotation? So despite it happening twice in a row, it's still a very slim chance that a team would play the SB in its home stadium. For neutral-site CGs, I'm assuming it'll be a similar rotation (maybe work in some of the domes in non-SB-caliber cities like Indy, Minn, Detroit). So unless they host the AFC game in an NFC stadium and vice versa, the chances of a team playing a "neutral" game in its home stadium is much higher. The teams who wouldn't be in the rotation (cold weather teams with outdoor stadiums) should be opposed to this.

Cities would bid for the ability to host, and would likely need sufficient hotel rooms and the like in order to bid. Quote It's where I sit.

Rockstar Matt Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 This is how the Cowboys have lost basically every divisional round game in the last 27 years (save for Minnesota in ‘09 and LA in ‘18). Just self inflicted plays giving the other team points. Dak has to stop throwing picks. Good thing the defense is absolutely balling, but the offense is going to have to produce some points to win. 1 Quote Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an issue cause there are plenty of cities who can be in the host rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolvikings Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Has the old “fake going for it on 4th down to get the other team to jump offsides” ever worked? Like in history? Ever? Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, if something really stupid happens in a game, the Browns are usually involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
