2014 NFL Season

[TCO]

That's nearly half the teams, it dilutes the quality and automatically makes divisions less competitive.

I'm thinking they should let 30 teams in the playoffs, then the Jags might make them sometimes!

Keep dreaming.

2 teams start, and every quarter another team enters the field according to the number they drew. The last team standing goes to the Super Bowl to face the winner of a standard game between the top NFC and AFC team.

Bears's ownership met last night. Trestman likely fired at season's end, Emery's fate still undecided.

Well, this honeymoon may be shorter than most expected.

Man I thought Trestman was going to work out too

[Mr. X]

I think he would've been better suited as an OC as we could have used a veteran HC along with a solid young defensive DC. Clearly Mel Tucker isn't what we needed and Emery's drafting has been incredibly suspect/ineffective.

If Trestman is gone after this year I'd rather just also dump Emery and find a defensive minded HC to help shore up the defense. The offense still has enough weapons for a good OC to do some damage (though Cutler clearly has been a major disappointment and should be given a short leash going into the next season).

Definitely with you on getting rid of Emery.

Adding more playoff teams is NOT a good idea.

The Bills bought the entire Lions organization pizza as a thanks for letting them use Ford Field when Buffalo was snowed in

[GhostMachine]

Nice. Unless the pizza was Little Caesar's.

Surely those wanting to change the playoffs are jumping the gun? The NFC South is in a decline while the AFC North and NFC West are strong, changing the playoffs won't resolve that and likely in a couple of years that will readdress itself through the draft and so on. The AFC North and NFC West are partly to blame for the NFC South's records as well, all the teams in the NFC South have played all the teams in the AFC North (barring the Panthers who still have the Browns to play) and only the Saints have come away with a victory against any of them. And the NFC South went 1-3 against the NFC West (Falcons over Cardinals). On top of that, the Saints have lost two in overtime (and the one against the Niners they would have won in regulation if it weren't for the call against Graham in the endzone) and lost against the Browns and Lions by only a couple of points, so their record could easily be much different.

Weird fantasy football season. In the finals in 2 leagues, but my 2 teams named after Dean Ambrose completely shit the bed...the Brian Bosworth league and my auction draft league where I had Adrian Peterson.

Hilariously though I won the Toilet Bowl game for 11th place over a team named Erectile Dysfunction. Which prompted the Yahoo headline "The Lunatic Fringe Gets Upset Over Erectile Dysfunction".

I just wish we could see a 15 game season and each team from the AFC plays every other team in the AFC, same thing in the NFC. Top six from each league head into the playoffs. No strength of schedule nonsense.

I mean I know EVERYBODY else would hate this but if I could run it my way this would be my choice. Only interleague play being in the Superbowl. I'm a fool though.

The Bills went 4-0 against the NFC this year, fuck that!

The Bears are starting Jimmy Clausen this Sunday...

[Your Mom]

Are you serious? Not sure if this helps or hurts me against Maxx in fantasy

[Lint]

Saw it on Deadspin and ESPN

Trestman's just going "I'm taking this whole ship down with me!"

[Berober]

...

Well at least I was able to pick up another QB to start for me in my FF Championship game...

(Fuck you Jay Cutler.)
