Agreed. I loved the NFL being unique in having so few team make the playoffs so pretty much all the games were competitive at least on paper (especially having 4 teams with first round byes). It's turning into the NBA now where there are just stupid mismatches in the first round, and that's not a good thing at all. 14/32 is still better than 16/30 in the NBA but it really should be 12 teams not 14.

I like only 1 team getting the bye though. If anything, they should’ve had the lowest two seeds play into the playoffs.

That will never happen because it would take an extra week with just those two games for an entire weekend. Then two teams would have to get a bye for two weeks

I don't like the 17 game schedule, 9-8, 12-5, 11-6 seems so wrong, but the additional team in the playoffs is so stupid. 7th seed is pointless, and I doubt a 7th seed will every have a chance to make the Super Bowl like a 6th seed does. 6th seeds is usually the very fringe of playoff caliber, but the 7th seed is dipping into teams that have no right to be in the playoffs, like the Steelers.

It's just poo football. If you're going to let these crap teams in you may as well just let every team in the playoffs.

I like the one team gets a bye.  It makes everybody play the last game of the season. (For the most part) 

Sure Pittsburgh and Philly showed THIS year they aren't deserving but what happens when that 7th seed makes it to the Super Bowl and wins.

And yet everyone seems to be watching… I don’t think it’s goig anywhere 

 

Couple things making it look worse than it is:

Being back in front of fans (not so much now as earlier in the year) really upped penalties.

The first year of new schedule is always wonky.  It’ll smooth out.  A group of good young QBs are taking over.  Parity will return to the playoffs.

I only got the Bucs wrong so far bc I just can’t pick TB/ATL/NO to win a playoff game.  Fug that.

TL;DR

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Lions were never going Freeling over Miller for the same reason we wouldn't have taken Miller had Freeling not been on the board. Miller is a career RT Lions have a hole at RT, we have a hole at LT. If we took Miller, it would have been for him to backup Moton until he retires and/or we release him, so the best case scenario is it would have been a wasted 1st round pick for at least 1, if not 2 years.  At least Freeling has a shot at playing this year without injury ahead of him, he absolutely can win the LT job if he earns it, but Miller would have never supplanted Moton this year unless he got hurt.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Chaos · Posted

      What up y’all. I like threads like this where we can stroll down memory lane. I remember the insane amount of site traffic pre-crash when we signed Keyshawn Johnson, 06 I believe. Raging about the Cowboys Christmas Eve loss in 05 (Peppers touched that FG attempt as sure as Cotchery caught it). When I found the huddle I basically had a first born baby, now I’ve got one in college and one in high school. Life comes at you fast, but the Panthers and the Huddle has been a steady constant in my life for many years.  Those who have been here, y’all are cool with me any time any where.    Cheers, genitals!

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By MartyClemons · Posted

      This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…)  I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum
