The ESPN disease has spread to Roger Goodell

Recommended Posts

Just got an e-mail from Roger Goodell, taking credit for the exciting 2013 NFL season.  Here is an excerpt:

 

 

 

"Once again we have new teams in the playoffs.  Five of the twelve were not there last year (Carolina, Kansas City, Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Diego) and for the 11th straight year, teams that went from last to first in their divisions (Carolina, Philadelphia)."

 

 

 

I suppose he thinks that last is a complete sentence, but forget that.

 

The Carolina Panthers went from second in the division last year to first this year, not last to first.

 

He can't really be paying attention.

Wasn't it a three way tie for second last year?

An interesting note, all four NFCS teams have now won the division three times each. Talk about a competitive division.

 

We won the tie-breakers to finish second.

No, Saints & us had the same record, but we swept them so... No tie for them...

 

TB was also 7-9 and swept us but was swept by the Saints so the tiebreak had to go deeper than hh.  You are correct though, we won the tiebreak, Roger is confused.

Obviously an ignorant statement by the NFL.

It may have been brought up in another thread, but the whole division champ and playoff system is screwed. San Francisco finished 5-1 in the NFC West, Seattle finished 4-2, yet Seattle "wins" the division.

 

b/c they finished with a better record? why the fug would they seed based on divisional record? i mean i don't want the panthers to go to seattle either, but they earned that 1 seed.

    • I watched a clip of all the offensive snaps. Young threw into some tight coverage and the guys made some plays on the ball. He also really missed some throws.  He has this middle of the field thing into a tight window pretty good and made three or four nice plays but he was just too inconsistent with his accuracy especially in the red zone. Today and in general.    That Int where people were chastising Legette for ‘not fighting through the coverage’, he in no way could have gotten to that ball. IMO. I think he thought it was going to hit the ground and didn’t see the defender coming for it. But not sure what he could have done. The camera doesn’t show the spatial relationship very well, I think the ball was way off. maybe 6 feet or more off target to the inside of the field.  Rico is a beast. And a very good receiver.   That was my impression without dissecting and rewinding, just letting the video roll. I did rewind the int two or three times to look at that one. 
    • My biggest issue with keeping Darnold, which I felt we should have done, is we would still have Fitterer. And everything that came with that.  I think Morgan is going to be good.  Baker, just did not play well at all here. Not sure what else we were supposed to take away from it at the time.  That’s my short ‘I don’t want to argue about it’ take. 
    • Even if we somehow make the playoffs we will be one and done so fast. Seattle, Rams, TB, Panthers, Detroit and Philly are all better than us.
