Around The NFL - 2008

i think youre an idiot.

some years the division winner sucks and doesnt deserve to host a game. some years its a tough division and they deserve it. so you just keep it as is and dont fight.

[ice grillin you]

I still think it's a reasonable change. Look at 2003 as an example. The Titans finished 12-4 behind the Colts, and had to travel to the 10-6 Ravens for their first round game. And the AFC North sucked that year, the remaining teams went 8-8, 6-10, and 5-11. I think in cases like that, the Titans deserve to have home field advantage over the Ravens.

pretty sure everyone understands the argument genius they just dont agree

I'm not fighting anything. Just saying that if they make the change I won't mind it much at all.

You don't get to host as a wild card unless you're the higher-seeded one and both make it to the conference championship.  Period.  Division winners host first round.

You are all forgetting the most important rule-change issue up for discussion:

Mike Nolan thinks there are reasons beyond safety for the proposal that could lead to an NFL ban on hair hanging from the back of helmets.

"The nameplate is on his back; the number is on his back," the San Francisco 49ers coach said Sunday, the day before the NFL's meetings officially begin. "That's what we want the fans to see. Not his hair."

The idea of banning long hair—players would be allowed to tuck it under their helmets—was proposed by the Chiefs. Kansas City's Larry Johnson tackled Pittsburgh's Troy Polamalu by the hair after an interception in a 2006 game.

I suggest they ban crazy-ass shoulder pads that distort the nameplate. And they really need to crack down on names that are too long.

[General_Failure]

So, the Giants will be playing with 10 men on defense, yes?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Why, did one of their guys get shot in the fleshpop too?

[Gene]

Everyone knows the Giants will be the secondary story that night.

Just ask anyone on ES.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Well, the Giants aren't going to finish as well as they did last year!  BOLD PREDICTIONS BY FREDDIE!
