Would you do this deal?

I don't think this would ever happen for many reasons but its interesting to think about:

Say that you are in a position very similar to the NYG CAR game. The winner is assured the #1 seed. One team (TEAM A) has clinched the division and for arguments sake, is assured the #2 seed at worse. The other team (TEAM B) has not won the division and would be eliminated from the playoffs with a loss.

If you are TEAM B(CAR) would you accept a forfeit from TEAM A(NYG) IF you agreed to play away at TEAM A(NYG) if you met in the playoffs?

Its a hypothetical question relax. But good responses because the correct answer is hell no if you are a real fan. Why would you ever give away a chance at NFC champ game in Charlotte? The NYG CAR matchup is rare because it does present a similar situation to this. I was hoping for an intelligent discussion, I guess I'll look elsewhere.

The league doesn't allow teams to make "deals" for playoff positioning or location. Home field is decided by record/seeding, not by agreement.

This is the second suggestion of this type I've seen (the other had us "colluding" with the Giants). Where are people coming up with this stuff?

(maybe "why" is the better question) :rolleyes:

    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
