The expanded playoffs...

I keep hearing this argument that it would allow a team that did well but missed out on a wildcard could get in...so let's look at these great teams who have missed out in recent years:

 

Pittsburgh 8-8, Arizona 10-6, Pittsburgh 8-8, Titans 9-7, Bears 8-8, Bears 10-6, 9-7 Chargers, 10-6 Giants.  

 

Is this really worth having a team or both 7th seeds every year float right around .500?  Awarding the best of the mediocre is just silly IMO.  It's way more rare that a division winner ends up around .500 and the total system is totally worth that happening once in every blue moon.  

 

Did anyone really want to see Mark Sanchez or Case Keenum starting a playoff game?  I really hope this isn't voted in but whatevs if it is.

The one thing that I like about it is that it eliminates half of the byes.  I do not like byes personally when the schedule is so imbalanced.  Teams in weaker divisions already have a huge advantage in their schedule, I do not like them then getting rewarded with a free win.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
