Like A Mofo Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Its bothering the living stevestojan out of me....I cannot even bring myself to think about this game as a "playoff" matchup given the fact the Bills completely destroyed both teams...and Mike Fartz is in the playoffs...sometimes life just isnt fair!!! Who cares who wins? They both stink. Im not watching a SECOND of their regular season game posing as a playoff matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 No doubt. They need to elimainate the last two seeds in the playoffs. Seriously should the Jets and Broncos be there either???? What about the Vikings losers of 7 out of 10? The only game I'm "planning" on watching is the Colts/Broncs game simply b/c I like watching Manning. I don't see why they don't do four teams from each conference and give them a week off between the end of the season and the start of the playoffs rather than a week off before the SB. I'd be much more intrigued to watch Pats/Indy, Steelers/SD, Philly/Sea, Atlanta/GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's never enough football to be played, regardless of who is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just too annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any football is great football and if I can watch it, I will. Sure we beat the hell out of them both. All the more reason to watch them trip over themselves and say "Man, we may not be a great team but at least we're not the Hags and the Rams."

gantrules Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Are you kidding me? Take what you can get? No thanks. I watched two series of a Bears/Cowboys game on Thanksgiving that just about made me vomit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was as opposed to sitting in the living room listen to my sister-in-law talk about her kids...which also makes me vomit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be much more intrigued to watch Pats/Indy, Steelers/SD, Philly/Sea, Atlanta/GB. 195503[/snapback] First off, the wildcard games rake in a ton of extra cash. Also, if it hadn't been for the wildcards, the last few weeks would have been pretty boring and not just for Bills fans. Most of the division titles were won very early. The only interesting games in the last 2 weeks would have been the SD/Indy game and I guess the Cards/Seahawks. It is actually harder to make the playoffs now than in the 80's. 12 of 28 used to make it. Its still 12 that make it, but, there are 32 trying. Personally, I think the dilusion of talent caused by adding the 4 teams coupled with the Salary Cap changed the game to the point where the calls the officials make become the decisive factor in the game outcome. I believe Shula got those calls in the seventies, but the Steelers could overcome that. New England gets those calls now, and they made two Superbowls by suspect officiating. From the Jets in the late 90's that cost us a division title, to "Just give it to them", to Home Run Throwup, to the play that put the Pats in the playoffs on their first SB run, to trash calls like TH's non-TD in the Oakland game, I am starting to wonder if the NFL is the NFL or the WWF...

zow2 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 What is there, a measley 11 NFL playoff games in total? That's why the NFL is great. Every game means the world. Yes, the Rams & Hags are doo doo.....but that's the way it unfolded this year. I hate when people have knee jerk reactions like "we need to revamp the whole playoff system so the Bills can get in". Hey, life is not fair. We played in the tougher conference this year so deal with it. There have been many years when the NFC was the tougher conference. It's all cyclical. I would not change a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandius Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 i'd be a lot more begrudging of this playoff matchup if the bills had beaten the steelers' backups. we don't deserve to be in the playoffs either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get schooled one week and you're in the playoffs the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
