rams80 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 - Changing the playoff seeding so that a wild-card team could get home-field advantage in a first round game if it has a better regular-season record than a division winner.Dumb, dumb, dumb. This completely devalues winning the division in the first place by taking away the only meaningful thing that comes with it (the banner is not meaningful). If NFL teams want home field in the playoffs, they should simply get it done when it counts against their divisional foes.So say an 9-7 divisional winner faces off with a 10-6, maybe 11-5 wild card team. You really think that the team that went 8-8 in a bad division should have home field over a team that won more games, but played in a tougher division? Considering how 3/8ths of the schedule is based on division play, and 8 of your remaining 10 games are against common opponents with the rest of your division, yes. The bias within the schedule towards divisional play and performance compared to other teams in your division means that winning said division should be rewarded substantially.

BlueSky Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 They just announced the opening weekend prime-time games:Thursday, 9/4 - Redskins @ Giants Sunday night, 9/7 - Bears @ Colts Monday, 9/8 - Vikings @ Packers, Broncos @ RaidersNothing special, and that Bears-Colts matchup in particular seems like a real snoozer. Couldn't they have done better than that for prime-time on Kickoff Weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Rodgers is the stud he was in college, and all Jackson has to do is throw the ball to the receiver on Al Harris, who will no doubt be disguised as Plaxico Burress.

"I have no idea where that came from, but it certainly didn't come from me. I'm happy about my decision and I haven't once said, 'I wonder if I made the wrong decision.' I know it's the right one.''

TFoA Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I love how:1) Sportswriters are scrambling to find a way to keep Brett Favre in the NFL.2) The LA Times has basically lost their credence as a reputable newspaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
