The ESPN disease has spread to Roger Goodell


JJT

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.

    • Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse. 
    • Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.  
    • I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
