Seattle have to be the worst team ever to qualify for the play-offs(not even counting the losing record).

Quite suprised that the Rams didn't manage to pull of the win. They are a decent young team and with how bad the west is 8 or 9 wins may win you the division for the next few years. I think you could do with a big reciever for Bradford.

The Bucs have also had a great season. The fact that they nearly made the play-offs yet only beat 1 "good" team isn't their fault. It is the fault of us and NY, we should have won more of our own games (Miami and Detroit spring to mind for me) then the Bucs wouldn't be in consideration. They have improved significantly and done what they should, beat the teams they should (teams with losing records/.500) and taken the others close. The fact that made them 10-6 doesn't matter.

I'm a fan of the Bucs and i think they will be very good in a few years. Mike Williams IMO is the clear ROY. (although i expect it to go to Bradford)

The playoffs and division for us was all on that Eagle meltdown. Coughlin got extension.

11 carries for Jackson, tells you all you need to know about the farce that was our play calling last night.

Seattle shoot themselves in the foot by winning IMO. Instead of picking at #8, they'll pick at #21 at the lowest.


Nice to see I won the fantasy league, I believe I told you all about the £100 entry fee where winner takes all.

rlOur 2011 opponents.rl Looks like this season was our big chance for the playoffs. Don't fancy us at all against that schedule.

Like Herm Edwards said "You play to win the game". To be honest I would have rather we lost last night, it's highly likely we are one and done against the Saints.

The Rams play calling was bizarre to say the least, Seattle's D has given up more big plays than anybody else this season. All the Rams wanted to do was throw swing passes and 5 yard slants.

This will lead to the NFL changing the rules with regards qualifying for the play offs.

I really hope they don't. It'd ruin the concept of divisions if it was just the best 6 records made it in.

One idea which i read (i can't remember where, i think it was on a different forum) was that your record just alterred your seeding rather than the actual qualification for the play-offs which i think is OK if they are going to alter the system.

So the division winners and two others with the highest record (Wildcard) are in the play-offs but then your seed is soley based on your record.

This causes problems though where a division winner has a worse record than a wildcard, like this year. It's unfair for a division winner to have to play a road game against a wildcard winner.

I think thats what they will do. No one is saying division winners with crap records should not be in the playoffs just that the 4 division winners and 2 wildcard should be seeded by records, for instance the Seahawks wouldn`t be a higher seed than the Saints because the Saints record is far superior.

There`s a lot of arguments for and against but I reckon they will change the rules

Change the divisions.

NFC East

Giants
Eagles
Washington
Tampa(not that east but ish)

NFC North

Packers
Bears
Vikings
Lions

NFC South

Falcons
Saints
Carolina
St Louis( I know not south geographically)

NFC West

Cowboys
Cardinals
Seahawks
49ers

They shouldn't change anything. FFS, it's happened once in the history of the NFL. You win your division, you should get a home game. If they really want to change the seeding then they should factor in strength of schedule. Why should a team jump above another one with a better record just because they have a better record when they've played a cupcake schedule? I know that both us and Seattle have had a fairly easy schedule this season anyway but All this stuff about changing things is yet another knee jerk reaction to something that might not even happen again for years anyway.

Spot on for me

Bucs scheduleHOME

Falcons
Panthers
Saints
Bears
Lions
Colts
Texans
Cowboys

AWAY

Falcons
Panthers
Saints
Packers
Vikings
Jaguars
Titans
49ers

I reckon another 10-6 season but could be 9-7 or 11-5 for me.
