The ESPN disease has spread to Roger Goodell

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.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
