I_C_Deadpeople Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 1 hour ago, TigerJ@w said: I totally agree There is a huge difference between the two leagues. In the NBA, every year there are 3 or less great draft prospects. In the NFL, you can rebuild a team in 1 -2 years. NBA you need to tank twice and pick up 2 great players, hope they develop and then still fill the roster. In the NFL, you can get a good player in round 7, the diff between the two leagues in that respect is huge. roster size also makes it harder to tank for several years. Quote

They would play whoever the lowest winning seed is. So only teams that would be eligible would be Denver, Steelers, Texans, or Chargers. They can't play the Bills or Ravens in their first game. Quote
Jamie_B Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 I think the first week of the playoffs for the AFC anyway goes Bills Rats Chargers The chiefs would end up playing the Chargers and Bills the Rats. I think the Chargers could beat them, also think Lamar does what Lamar does and loses to the Bills. I would not be surprised to see a Chargers/Bills AFCC 1 Quote

I am actually thinking that the Stealers can beat the Rats. Quote

While you may not like it if you’re not in that position, you had a chance to win more games so you could exert some control over your destiny. But you didn’t… so tough isht. 1 Quote

I think the Chargers could beat them, also think Lamar does what Lamar does and loses to the Bills. I would not be surprised to see a Chargers/Bills AFCC I went back and looked at the results of the first two LAC-KC games and came to the same conclusion. LAC played them tough both games and KC has been the beneficiary of timely calls at the end of games and freakish plays that helped them get to that 15-2 record. I'm not saying they're not good, but they're not 15-2 good. And I'm still not convinced that going 24 days or whatever without playing won't have a negative effect, but I guess they know more about it than I do. Anyway, I think LAC have a very good shot at beating them. If they can, it will be glorious. 2 Quote

In the NFL you could just have 9 wins guarantee you the playoffs. The Bengals are the only team above .500 to miss out ... Seattle won 10 games and missed he playoffs too 2 Quote

First offense is a 3rd rd pick. Second time a 2nd rder. Third time a 1st rder. This would also prevent the "load management" bullshit that has killed off the NBA regular season and may one day come to the NFL. yea theres only like 5 NBA players who sit too much. Quote

He is pathetic. Harden is an abortion as well. Watched him grift last in person.. i hate him. Clippers shot 40 free throws. they made 32 freethrows to the nuggets 11, and lost by 23... horrible product. 1 Quote

Sitting players the last game once a playoff spot is secured and winning does nothing to improve their position has been going on for decades. And the NFL doesn’t play 82 games nor does 67% of the league make the playoffs. Every game matters most of the season unless you suck or are 15-1 going into the last week. Quote

Go 15-1 and you can start Taylor Swift and Purdue’s backups if you want game 17. Quote

On the other end of the "load management" spectrum, I've been watching Thibs burn out KAT, Brunson, and the rest of the Knicks starters this early in the season. They'll be pretty much dead by playoff time lol. Quote
