    No.

     

    The NFL playoff format is extremely unique and successful as is. 7 is the perfect number of teams and the bye rewards a truly great season while also forcing teams to have to play to the end.

     

    The only change I really want is the East and North divisions merged and the West and South divisions merged in each conference so we just have two massive divisions East/West. It would forever eliminate a bad division winner which happens too frequently, would allow for good teams who don't win the division to host playoff games, and allow a better schedule balance.

    so you would play 14 division games? That would get boring after a while. Playing the same teams every year. Maybe if they rotated who your merged division was each year, that could be fun.

    Oh come on.  They cut him because they didn't want to deal with busybodies in the media who rushed to judgement.  

    Can I have a million dollars?  If it's really not that big a deal, then you shouldn't mind tossing me a spare million.  

     

    On the other hand, if you wouldn't voluntarily part with a million dollars, then it's kind of gross to hand-wave somebody else being robbed of that.

    The girl still left his house, bruised and bloodied. They just cant prove anything since everybody was wasted.

    I have been thinking about this recently.  

     

    There is no other major league sport that gives the enormous advantage that the NFL does to it's #1 team in the conference. All of those teams have to play in the first round of the playoffs. NBA now even have play-in games to get into the playoffs...although I am not sure why simply having a better record doesn't qualify you. What's the point of all those games if you can be eliminated by a team with a worse record before the actual playoffs?? That doesn't make much sense, unless it's a money grab.

     

    NHL has 8 teams, MLB has 6 teams. Nobody has any byes.  All of those sports play far more games than the NFL. Granted, the physical toll is different for NFL players, but still.

     

    It used to be the top 2 teams that got a bye when there were 6 teams. Why when there could have been 3 normal playoff games, I am not sure of.  Now that they expanded to 7, obvious one team has to get a bye.  Expanding to 8 should eliminate the bye and the unfair advantage that it gives them.

     

    In the two years so far, none of the 4 #1 seeds have won the super bowl, and only 1 team appeared in it. I wish they went back to 6, but itll be cool to see a #7 seed beat a #2 seed someday, as long as it isnt us.

    I was disappointed in the way the Bills handled this (presumption of guilt).  I get why they did what they did, but I'd have preferred for them to be better than that.

    They didnt cut him cause they thought he was guilty. They cut him cause they wanted him to focus on the trial, and thought that he wouldnt be able to focus on football. 

     

    Thing about it. He technically still was innocent until proven guilty. Because he was so close to this situation, he no longer gets the millionaire job. He gets no jail time, but has to get a regular job like the rest of us.

  5. It should be noted that the bills cut Matt Araiza, so he could focus on the investigation. They figured, he would not be able to adequately focus on football while also focusing on this. He also, was clearly way to close to the alleged rape. Whether he was part of the gang rape or not, he still had sex with her that night. 

     

    Everybody saying he is innocent until proven guilty. I mean, basically, he went from a jail sentence, to just being forced into working an everyday normal job like the rest of us. He doesn't need to keep his million dollar job, to be "free".

    Talk about a massive difference of culture and player commitment. 

     

    Now to be clear 1 day a week off is mandated by the CBA on a normal week.  3 days off is mandated after a Thursday game long week. 

     

    However, it is up to the players to do with that time as they see fit, for the Bills we got players leaving town, for the Bengals, they are showing up to get better. 

     

    Culture like this is the difference between winning teams and Championship teams. We got guys hopping on planes to chill, they got guys bucking down in the most important stretch of the season.

     

    Meanwhile, Bills have not played anywhere near their potential since the bye and the Bengals have gotten better going 6-1 in their last 7 despite missing their top offensive weapon, who is now returning. 

     

    Bengals pose every much a threat as the Chiefs, this Monday night game week 17 is going to be very telling. Hope the Bills get their stuff together.

    Are they showing up tomorrow too? I hope they do!

    What about for those that don't live in Buffalo (or Miami)?  From what I can tell, the only way that we can watch it (legally) is with a paid subscription to NFL's streaming app or FuboTV...? 

    Yes, unfortunately, even rochester wont get the game. Sling has NFL network too.

     

    You can get a decent price for a new customer on sling, getting NFL network, and have redzone for the day after.

    It's December and your are trying to win a Chamionship. No one should be leaving town. These guys should be competely engrossed in ironing out the sloppy play and being as prepared as possibly for a Jets team that beat them last time around. 

     

    There's a big difference between winners and Champions. 

     

     

    They have had an illness going around the locker room for 3 weeks. I hope they closed the facilities to quarantine/decontaminate for a few days. Hopefully thats enough time, but its better then nothing.

    Very proud of the team

    But I don’t think it’s wrong to point out that there is a lot to fix. Not sure that performance  results in a win against KC or Miami or Cinci.

    Thats not how it works. You play to beat the team in front of you. This isnt college, where you have to beat teams in dominating fashion every week to make the playoffs. You only need to win by 1 point, and it counts the same.

    Irrelevant dude. The Phins are being flexed to Sunday night vs. the Chargers.

    Now you think they will be flexed to the following Saturday? That gives them 5 days in between. Not happening. I wish but it won't happen.

    Flexing the same team for 2 straight games has never happened in history of NFL. Check it yo.

    In 2019, the bills vs steelers game was flexed to Sunday night. The bills vs patriots game the following week was flex to saturday. Same situation. The Bills vs patriots was a TBD game.

    This woman is going to every NFL stadium this season.  It seems the home team has always lost at each game she is there for.  Her next game?  Thursday night Bills at Patriots.

    Based on her video, it sounds like she is going to the Jets today, the colts tomorrow, and the patriots thursday. Hopefully the colts break the curse tomorrow.
