SDS Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 If you want the best matchup at the end of the year, maybe games should be weighted with more weight given to the latter games. That keeps hot teams gone cold from backing into the playoffs and it allows the hot teams who are playing their best ball to make the playoffs.

STarting to sound a little like the BCS my friend.....

Get some Cowbell while there's still time fearless leader.
Like A Mofo Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 What a stinker...............I was asleep by halftime. 180387[/snapback] I didnt even know there was a game Sunday night LOL
DC Tom Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 What a stinker...............I was asleep by halftime. 180387[/snapback] Funniest damned thing I've seen in ages. I'm still stunned that somebody actually won that game...
Fake-Fat Sunny Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 Naaah, the result would end up with decisions which smack of the BCS in college. The current result is bad as match-ups happen which do not reflect the current reality of the game, but almost certainly any fixes will create a series of controversies which will be worse. I'm comfortable with everyone being aware of the rules at the start and dealing with the result good and bad. If someone has another proposal then they have taken on the responsibility of demonstrating that their new proposal is better than the current bad situation.
Dan Gross Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 What a stinker...............I was asleep by halftime. 180387[/snapback] I watched the Bills game. Hey, if Miami can beat Baltimore, then Bates will be 4-3 as a coach...
Tux of Borg Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 No, because you risk running into the same mess that they have in college football.

PromoTheRobot Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 Yes...all we need is a BCS-style committee deciding which teams desrve to be in the playoffs...the Bills would never be screwed over in a system like that, would they? PTR

I am in the camp of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." The next step would be using W/L records for wild card seeding - regardless of the conference.
_BiB_ Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 What a stinker...............I was asleep by halftime. 180387[/snapback] I was laughing too hard to quit watching. Just listening to Maguire ("No! no! don't...awwww) was entertainment.

A "fan" vote like those idiotic reality shows, perhaps?

A "fan" vote like those idiotic reality shows, perhaps? 180554[/snapback] no, no, no... I'm thinking you get 1 point for a win in week 1, 2 in week 2, etc.... that may be extreme, but maybe it is 1, 1.1, 1.2, etc... That way, wins at the end count more than the beginning. I would rather see an 0-8 team become 8-8 and make the playoffs than a 8-0 team that goes 8-8. No BCS stuff, just a simple weighting that meakes each game worth more than the last.
Alaska Darin Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 No. Teams should play well from the opening week on. We didn't and we are probably going to pay the price for it.

We should have beaten JAX, and then all we'd have to do is win this weekend.
