By the way, this #7 playoff seed and only #1 bye week sucks. Go back to six teams with two byes

Eliminate seeding advantages outside of the club with HFA.

Put all the others, including the WGAS Divisional winners into a full field seeded by overall record and let them play it out.

It is not exactly right when a shit team that wins the NFC South, which is second class football now, to be entitled to a home game.

Also notice who's a true ride-or-die Thursday Nighter. I thought @bbgun was. Guess not.

Another astute observation. You are just full of them tonight.

Im a traditionalist when it comes to this. I like the Division winners being #1-4. Reinforces the point of having divisions.

Moving to four divisions made this 'stronger wild-card team' more of a possibility. You didn't have this as much when just three divisions, but alas...

I am all for keeping tradition, but it is ridiculous that a team that has a borderline or nearly borderline losing record gets a home game.

Give them a playoff spot, fine. They were the tallest midget.

I wouldn't hate it.

But then the complaints would be us finishing second place 10-7 in a tough division with a head-to-head win over an 11-6 division winner in a cupcake division. What then? We go BCS computers?

That is better than some team that couldn't even finish .500 to get anything other than a spot in the tournament.

Nice TD throw by Stafford. Thought he had a HOF chance if he put together another stellar season with the Rams, but appears he's done. But, hey, he got a ring and more fortunate than the majority of legit franchise QBs. Count your lucky stars you got that.

The commercials during NFL games as a collective is at its lowest point.

My kid had pajama day at school today.

Apparently Richard Sherman got the memo.

Similarly, my wife walks into the room and asks why is he wearing that ridiculous outfit.

See that play by Nacua should tell you everything that is wrong.

Great catch. But a flag should have been thrown.

He went to the ground. Doesn't he need to survive the ground and basically hand the ball to the ref?

Will the NFL award Buffalo a Super Bowl with their new outdoor stadium?

With Derek Carr and his periodic WTF interceptions, you never get to miss Jay Cutler

Fuck no, and not because of the stadium. It's a pipsqueak city where there's nothing to do.

How about Nashville?

Oh, they'll get the game.

Post-Drew Brees, Saints as a franchise faded back into obscurity quickly.

 

[boozeman]

Oh my.
