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 think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.
    • Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
