I think its utterly ridiculous that the NFL *still* seeds suck-ass division winners

They should seriously look into a record based seeding. Having an 11-5 patriots team miss the playoffs while an 8-8 AFC West team in over them is a complete joke.

Same for a 7-9 Seatle team getting in.

 

totally disagree with letting those teams IN.

 

but seeding in the playoffs needs a review.

 

no reason a 7-9 team, even if it wins its division, should have home field imo

Problem with the NFL is you can't play enough games to figure out who is good and bad. In baseball a .600 team is demonstrably better than a .500 team.

 

So in the NFL we created mini leagues in the form of divisions where teams play each other to increase the credibility.

 

I think it is a decent system.

alright how do i turn off pics and sigs i swear your perverts are freakin embarassing i can't get on the huddle anywhere

 

 

your lack of punctuation is pretty embarrassing...  spelling is pretty bad too.

 

go to, "My Settings", "Manage Ignore Prefs", then check the box, "Ignore all signatures when reading topics and personal messages"

 

just busting your chops a little... but if you'd looked, it was pretty easy to find. :cool:

I like it the way it is.

It sucks for us because we are always going to have to battle for the division with the Saints until Brees is done, but the seeding is more interesting the way it is now.

I like that better teams have to go on the road sometimes as punishment for not winning their division.

Plus it makes for some really interesting playoff match-ups. The not so good teams that barely win in bad divisions are often punished by having to play a better wildcard team in the first round.

Even if we go on the road as a wildcard... we will be playing a team that is not as good as us for the first 2 games.

Great formula IMO.

I think if they change anything, they should bring in 8 playoff teams from each conference. The winners get a first round bye and home games, and the 2nd place teams play each other the first week, then face the division winners the next.

I agree with you, keep it the same. Just pointing out that there's no reason for divisions aside from giving HFA.

      Peeking at the roster in 2026

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
