Conference-less Superbowl

I was just thinking after last night's debacle with only one team showing up to play, don't you think if we had the two best teams end up in the Superbowl, regardless of conference, that it almost ensures we wouldn't have this crap happen again?

With all the tweaking Goodell wants to make to the format, why not get rid of conferences? I'm venturing out of my comfort zone here in this discussion, but I suppose you could still keep divisions for incentive and to help determine seeding, but after that, anyone can play anyone because they're not divided by conference.

What do you think?

the two best teams did play in the super bowl last night, problem was, only one of them showed up.

 

 

I honestly don't think so, the Niners would have been equally suited to beat the Broncos and even our Panthers would have been in a good position. 

 

Broncos could not get past a team that pressured Manning. 

 

9ers beat us fairly though. NFC Championship was the Superbowl.

It would be interesting to see the seeding. Something like the four division winners with best records get the bye week, the two with the best records getting homefield advantage. The remaining four division winners host the wildcard games. The four teams with the best records without winning their divisions are the wildcards. Keep tie breakers as similar as possible to now. Seeding is determined as 1-12 with lowest traveling to highest.

I can see it.

A blowout in the Superbowl is rare.  The last one I can think of was 11 years ago - Bucs vs Raiders.  I don't think anything needs to change because most of the time the Superbowl is a close game.  I feel like Brady and the Patriots would have put up more of a fight though.

      Lord, I remember that time. It was wild in here. The Nolan Nawrocki hit piece comes to mind, and the dudes in here who wanted that to be so true. Something like Cams smile being fake. Weve had some characters in this place as well. I remember Grits, TheRealDeal, Sanjay and his constant posting of that one football play, King Taharqa, PhillyB lol. It’s been a wild ride

      You can play one through six degrees of separation with all of them if you want.  Okay they have this in common or that in common.  I don’t know how to assign meaning to it without evaluating each one.  For example in Darnold’s case his arm could bail him out sometimes and it could get him in trouble sometimes. Bryce is not going to get bailed out by his arm. He  very obviously, IMO, has trouble seeing the field and his margins with his arm strength are smaller or thinner than a guy like Darnold’s margin would be. By a lot. Or Stafford. Hell he threw a ball almost 80 yards when he was young and can still do 70.   Bryce does not have that.  If he succeeds it is because he is near perfect.   I just don’t consider him as offering me any real advantages.
