Your son needs writers with new material.
One way of determining that perhaps your Offensive Coordinator needs some help: Mike Karney has more runs from scrimmage in the first quarter than Steven Jackson.
10-6 and the Rams play-calling has been so baffling tonight that they’ve made a terrible Seahawks defense look great.
Seattle scores here and that’s probably all she wrote.
Looks like a 7-9 team will win the division after all.
Man, at this point I don’t know whether to vent in the Fantasy Football thread or the What Icites Apocalyptic Rage In You thread about the Rams’ absolutely pathetic performance. Way to piss away a season, you worthless shitbags.

Sadly, all they might remember is watching that perfectly thrown bomb from Bradford go through his hands without even getting a glove on it.
Yup.
Playing like a scared rookie.

(Pat Shurmur should be choosing “Ask Madden” instead of picking his own plays.)
7-9 Seahawks win the NFC West.

At the beginning of this season i had a dream. I dreamed that the NFC west would send a losing team to the playoffs. Tonight, my dream is a reality. And that it was my Seahawks that made this happen only makes it sweeter!
So a 7-9 team not only wins their division, and gets in the playoffs, they host a game too…against the reigning champs who have an 11-5 record, while TWO 10 win teams don’t even make the playoffs? What would Vince Lombardi say if he were alive?
He’d say: “If you can’t beat the Seahawks, you don’t deserve to go far into the playoffs.”

What a weird year. My sincere apologies to Jacksonville, San Diego, Oakland, Tampa, and New York Giants fans.
They won their division. That’s the structure of the playoffs - winning the division games matters.
Unless you are in Oakland.
Why Jacksonville, Sarkus?
I don’t really see a good way to ‘fix’ the Division champs hosting the playoff spots.
Given the ‘mail it in’ mentality of some of the final games once playoff spots are secured, ideally you would fix both problems by seeding the playoffs based on how teams finish.
Say, maybe in the final 6 games or so.
But, I find it hard to argue that a system like the above would be better than what we have - it’s already hard for the average fan to understand the tiebreakers of the existing system.
Win your division and you’re in. Record determines who hosts. I think that’s both a better solution and easy to explain.
He’d say win the games that you play and you won’t have to worry about who else makes the playoffs.
