Re: NFL
Here is another option they are really considering....

No bye for the number 1 team. Add an 8th team to the playoffs.

i really don't care much how they do it but I am definitely not in favor of this route! :tut:

What good does it do then to fight for the best record and earn a bye.

I get this is a totally unique situation but still

Just play the game on a Saturday.  Doesn't even have to be televised.  Keep the playoffs the way they are.

I've always hated teams getting playoff byes - especially in football, where every game exacts it toll on the players.  That, to me, is way more of a competitive advantage than a home game, AND they get the home games to boot.

I think there should be 16 team teams in the playoff - 8 from each league so the brackets are even and everyone plays the same number of games.

But they won't to that because granting byes DOES give an advantage to the best teams, where the best teams have the best players, and the best players are the Super Stars - who end up having a better chance of playing in the Superbowl - which is the best for ratings.

I agree Steve.  It is a double advantage for the better team at the time to win. How about giving the underdog one of those advantages?

Re: NFL
yea but didnt the packers have the bye last year..........and they lost!!!!!!!

as far as having the best players......not so sure about that............there where a few super bowl winners with backup QB's......Foles is one i can think of.......besides its a 53 man roster.........not all are going to be the stud super bowl MVP.

i guess i'm on my own out here but i still think working during the course of the season to have that best record to earn the bye.....or a better playoff seating....if for nothing else then getting a home game or 2 is worth it!!!!!

Re: NFL
The owners have voted to approve changes to the existing rule for handling the aftermath of a canceled game.

25 owners voted in favor of the changes, with three or four voting no and the rest abstaining.

The new rule creates a potential neutral-site AFC Championship based on various factors, given the cancellation of Bills-Bengals. The new rule also determines home-field advantage for a Bengals-Ravens wild-card game by a coin flip, if the Ravens beat the Bengals on Sunday.

Pretty cool.....Buffalo returned the opening kick-off for a touchdown against the Patriots. Nice salute to their teammate.    :happy1:

Pretty strange play resulting in a Green Bay penalty toward the end of the half. Never seen anything quite like that.

Re: NFL
I tuned into the Packer game around 10 o'clock.

I'm not sure what would make me happier then seeing Erin go down in flames. His interception sealed the deal. Now we can listen to the old narrative of will he retire or not, will the Packers trade him or not?

Thank you Erin, you made a old fat guy very happy tonight.   :happy1:   :happy1:   :bow:

I watched until the end.  After the game he was talking to players and looked like he was kissing them on the neck with his drama talks to them. Then he was looking around the stadium like it was going to be his last time.  More drama??

Re: NFL
It was interesting to compare JJ Watt's final game and field walk-off with Erin Rodgers'.

I KNOW I'm jaded and have my prejudices against Rodgers, but it just seems that JJ had a genuine emotional reaction to his retirement and Erin was only playing his typical, annual, made-for-TV, coy "this could be my last game at Lambeau Field" drama :queen: act.
