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.

      Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
