NFL Playoffs: Wild Card Round

[etothep]

Yup, I would have loved for McNabb to come to Minny, but that obviously isn't going to happen anymore. It will be interesting to see who the Minny QB is next year, if we'll give T-Jack one last shot or what.

Doubtful, that team is built to win now.

EXACTLY!

Amazing isn't it? McNabb is one of the most underrated QB's in the league IMO...and its very unfair how Philly has treated him and Reid.

I was in agreement for them moving him in midseason when their run looked done...I sure as Hell wouldn't do it now. Philly has better shore up it's pass protection before next week, though...thair offensive tackles were turnstiles. It's one thing to get worked by Jared Allen, but to get consistently beaten by BRIAN ROBISON???

Oh, and I am officially the Detroit Lions of picks this week, with a fantabulous 0-4 mark. Yes!

A weekly NFL breakdown that heads in the opposite direction of your average pro football analysis.

1. Do the Cardinals’ and Chargers’ wins mean the NFC and AFC West were better than we thought? Not at all. If homefield advantage went to the team with the best record in the wild-card round, Arizona and San Diego would both be home now. Why are owners afraid to change that rule? This isn’t the BCS and some fictional title. This is the NFL and the playoff system should be fair.

2. Chad Pennington’s performance on Sunday validates the Jets’ decision to jettison him for Brett Favre. Pennington does a lot of things well and will take you to a certain point. But come the postseason, he runs into defenses that are too good to beat with his conservative style. Pennington was never going to lead New York to the Super Bowl. Favre wasn’t the answer for the Jets either, but at least they can start over now, both at head coach and quarterback.

I disagree with this because the Ravens make a ton of QB's look bad on a weekly basis:

Week 2 vs. Pittsburgh: Ben Roethlisberger 191 YDS 1 TD 1 INT
Week 12 vs. Philadelphia: Donovan McNabb 59 YDS 2 INT
Week 16 vs. Dallas: Tony Romo 24/45 252 YDS 2 TD 2 INT

These are some of the top QB's in the game and they didnt do much against their Defense, which is ranked #5 against the Pass.

I'm going to disagree with this. Division titles should held above wild cards. Always held above wild cards, IMO no matter how bad the division.

The one league that doesn't do this is the NBA and their playoff system is so messed up nowadays...

Haha, yeh just a few years ago, it led to a game at the end of the season where both teams benefited by losing. Led to an interesting game

haha that would be very interesting to watch both teams attempt to not win...

I agree. If you're going to have divisions, the division winners get the higher seeds.

Theres been so many teams that get a by at 9-7, when a 11-5 is in the wildcard. The time out in the Chargers games is a bigger problem

I wouldn't say they were beaten consistently, but when they were beaten they were beaten badly. LT William Thomas specifically had a bad game...he was the one worked on the forced fumble in the second half.
