I think there was some game back in the day where a college all star team played against a regular nfl team. I’d watch the hell out of that. College all star vs NFL champ was not so hot. As a kid I remember the all stars beat the Packers in ‘62 or ‘63.. (not going to look it up) .. but mostly they were NFL routs and kind of bad games. Quote

LOL Actually I was bit surprised when I looked it up as thought it went back before 1960, but do recall the last few. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playoff_Bowl Please for the good that is all holy, no. I'm old enough to remember these games, the later ones played in Miami. Lombardi called them the "Losers Bowl," or the "S*it Bowl." Quote

And I know the NFLPA would probably never go for the idea. But what if there was a consolation game the week before the Super Bowl for the two conference championship losing teams? They do it for the World Cup and the Olympics and other tournaments. Maybe it's too much to ask after pouring your heart into that final game. On the other hand, the chance to go out a winner is nice. Thoughts? Only if a root canal and a colonoscopy couldn’t be scheduled. Quote

It would end up being the backup bowl, plus no one wants to lose twice going out. 18 hours ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: How about this?

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 28 Posted January 28 I’d watch any football ever. It’s my favorite thing. I’d say you’d be better served having a 4 team playoff at the bottom of the list to determine the draft order. The only issue is you got guys playing in a game that won’t be a part of their future 1 Quote
