2018 Playoff Discussion Thread (Other Teams)

The average score for the Chiefs in their losses this year was 36 points. That's how trash their defense is. They can put up nearly forty and still lose.

31st Ranked Defense.

Who knows the Patriots might have held the Chiefs to a FG. The Chiefs had a chance to stop them at the Patriots 35 & own 45 and another 3rd down in their own territory. More than enough chances to prevent the Patriots from scoring a TD. Make a play on defense and win with either a FG or TD.

Yep, who knows and that’s the point. Structure the rule so both teams get chances on both offense and defense(something like NCAA) and you’ll have a definitive outcome not skewed by the toss of a coin.

My idea is simple:

Regular Season: Get rid of the Game Clock, keep the same rules where a TD ends the game and a FG gives the other team a chance. By getting of the game clock, this ensures no more ties and we have a clear winner.

Playoffs: Both teams get a chance on offense. If both teams score a TD or FG on their possession, it would then revert to sudden death at that point.

OT rules obviously don’t make much sense. And with the direction the NFL is headed (best teams all have the top offenses) it makes even less sense to have OT rules geared toward rewarding good defense. None of the defenses of this years conference finalists would’ve come even close to being favored over any of the offenses in that scenario. Whoever wins the coin toss is gonna win the game 9/10 times.

So, I propose a jump ball to replace the coin toss. lol nah kidding, but why not just make them play another whole quarter?? At least do it for the playoffs

Coin toss is 50/50. Doesn't get no more fairer. 1st team that gets ball more than likely has to drive 75 yds for td to win. The OT is extremely fair. If KC would've done the same thing we wouldn't even be talking about this.

LMFAO! Wouldn’t be talking about it? If KC had won the toss and scored it would be declared a National Emergency and Kraft would demand they bring in troops. You wouldn’t be able to turn on a TV, radio or open a web page and not see, hear or read about the “travesty”. Wouldn’t be talking about it.......GTFO

Winning a coin flip after battling for 3 hours ain’t the way to settle the game Will.

So they flipped a coin and it was done. Cmon Man!!!! They drove it down the field. Make the stop. A FG don't win you the game until after one possession. Get a 3 and out. Be a big boy. Crazy with the Ravens I think I'd kick and take the wind.

Never mind Will. lol

Whats fair is fair. No participation trophies. Splash yourself with some extra Gatorade. Strap that chinstrap one notch tighter. Dig the knuckles one more inch into the ground. And just lay a little extra smack into the hit. That's whatcha gotta do Tank lol.

Get in your stance, grab a handful of dirt and deposit it in the eyes of the guy across from you. lol

 

[JO_75]

Well this is interesting........ let the conspiracy begin. Also not noted in the article is that Bill Vinovich the head official grew up in Anaheim, CA.

Both on-field officials involved in the fateful play have ties to Los Angeles. Back judge Todd Prukop is from Ladera Ranch, California -- just south of Los Angeles. Side judge Gary Cavaletto is a lifelong resident of Santa Barbara, California. Cavaletto was standing just feet from the play where Tommylee Lewis was run over and didn't call either obvious penalty.

Although I agree, the rules need to be changed if not for all games, but the playoffs. As a matter of fact we need to keep it just the playoffs to limit the number of injuries. Atleast they should have an equal number of series.

I too think the rules need to be changed for
overtime. Both teams should have a chance
with the ball. I also think overtime should
end when there is a winner, no ties.

 

[redrum52]

Leave the rules alone. The OT rules aren't the problem. It's that every off season these idiots change or add something favoring the offense.

 

[JO_75]

Who knows, there might be a silver lining in all this in 2 weeks time - NE win another one, BB and quarterback retire.

I could live with that.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind one more shot at Brady next season before he goes. With us playing the AFC East next year, I'd hope he stays and gets one last hard hitting visit to Baltimore.

I could live with that option, too.

So the NFL Network tweeted out that they are showing an encore presentation of the Rams/Saints game at midnight Tuesday. So they are happily promoting a rigged game. Unbelievable.

 

[JO_75]

Ok let's take the conspiracy even further. Someone posted a video on Facebook of one official(Number 60) waving off another official who was coming down to question the call.

Edit: It seems the ref was actually waving off Sean Payton who was running down the sideline to argue the call off screen.

Just stop

 

[JO_75]

Here's one more angle of that play. You see the official reach for the flag but decide not to throw it.... instead just says incomplete pass. Now why would you not throw it on such an obvious play?
