I think six team playoff per conference adds more substance than seven. I don't think there should be 7 teams out of 16.

When people talks stats now it has to be taken with a grain of salt that it was done with an extra game played compared to the people that they are comparing them to.

It's not that big of a deal to me when you've bested three other teams. It's also why I am against reseeding in playoffs. If you can't even be best out of four? Go on the road homie.

Yeah, before doing the math when the rule was put into place, I said more than 40% into the playoffs field is too much.

6 of 16 is 37.5% but 7 is 43.75% just seems too high.

Also, I very much disagree with playing one of the games on Monday.

The away conference for the Superbowl should have all their playoff games on Saturday (until maybe the conference game) and then the home conference should have all their playoff games on Sunday.

I did NOT think this would happen. The 2023 Packers made it into the playoffs. Granted, 7 of 16 isn't saying much. I just did NOT think they had it in them during a growth season to get into the playoffs.

Yes, we gonna get bounced out, but damn, the playoff experience for this young team is gonna make them HUNGRY in 2024. Just like that 2009 Wild Card made them hungry in 2010.

It's easy to look at a few of the games and say, "If only". Loses to Atlanta, Vegas, Broncos? GIANTS??? Puleeze.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : HUMP DAY

beast (8-Jan) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (8-Jan) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman
