For all the whining I've heard the past two weeks about how dumb the college football system is (and it is) I've heard nary a complaint about how an 8-8 team is hosting a 12-4 team in the playoffs.

I don't have a problem with division winners making it, but this is ridiculous. The NFL should be looking at different ways of doing this system. The NBA pales in compare to the NFL, but at least they get it right with their playoffs. All division winners get is a ticket in.

Isn't there an "Official Bucs Offseason Thread" where you can spew your bitterness?As has been noted in several of the threads whining about the Bolts getting into the playoffs, the only thing differentiating the Colts and Bolts is luck, a couple of game ending FGs, and Ed Hochuli. Statistically, these teams are almost exactly equal on paper.

Wow what an original and fresh take. Thank God there is someone enlightened enough to whine about a team with a worse record having home field advantage. It has never been said before in the history of the internet.
 
Posted this in the other thread, but to post in here too... Andrea Kramer just reported that she spoke with Norv Turner in the past hour. LT has a strained groin. He will play, but they won't know his effectiveness until the first quarter.

Tommy it's not really about SD(as I can see you are a homer).......but I would agree that Div. winners should get nothing but a ticket to the show and Home field should be awarded to the better teams...nothing against SD it would just be a better system......good luck against the Colts

Yes, it's right next to the "San Diego Chargers: Worst record in baseball" thread.Good luck on not going 8-9 tonight. I know that's a wildly successful year in San Diego sports. :thumbup:

You are so bitter :lmao:
 
If LT was healthy I might be swayed otherwise but it's hard to go against the Colts at this point.. even if they're @ SD.

Colts 31

Chargers 24

 
INACTIVES:

Wide receiver Malcom Floyd, linebacker Brandon Siler and fullback Mike Tolbert were among the players the Chargers listed as inactive for today's Wild Card Playoff Game against the Indianapolis Colts. Also on the San Diego list were Charlie Whitehurst (as the third quarterback), fullback Billy Latsko, guard Kynan Forney, tackle Corey Clark and defensive tackle Ian Scott. The Colts inactivated linebacker Gary Brackett, guards Mike Pollak and Jamie Richard, running back Lance Ball, defensive back Jamie Silva, wide receiver Pierre Garcon and defensive linemen Daniel Muir and Curtis Johnson.

Chargers play baseball also?Huh. Learn something new everyday.
 
Lots of weapons out or hobbled for SD. We might see a lot of Naanee and Hester tonight. Table's set for the Colts defense if they can capitalize by getting pressure on Rivers and containing Sproles. Somehow, I don't think it will be that easy though.

Nice deflection once again from the obvious truth. Chargers fans are the foolish ones who keep acting like their 8-8 team is so damn good. We can talk all we want about games they almost won (while seemingly ignoring games they almost lost - both KC games, for example), but in the end, you are what your record is, and the fact is very simple: The Chargers are an 8-8 team.Besides, why would I be bitter? I predicted that the Broncos would lose last week to the Chargers, and I said for most of the year that the Broncos were not that good, as you would know if you read my various comments over the course of the season. If the Broncos were actually a good team this year and had blown the lead they did, then I probably would be bitter, but that is not how it was.

27-24.... but I have no idea who.

San Diego will need to rally the troops bigtime with so many injuries. I really think Sproles could be the difference maker.

 
What is going on in here?? The Chargers won their division. Their record, in doing so, is irrelevant. Why is this being discussed?

 
I am always embarrassed for NBC whenever this intro starts up.

Whoever was in charge of NBC getting back into the NFL had zero taste. A cheap knock-off of an already stale MNF song?? "Football Night in America"?

:puke:

They beat the Jets, they beat NE, and they beat Denver. They deserve to be here as much as anyone. Any team playing into the playoffs on a win streak is dangerous and that's what the comments are about. Indy is hot too so that should make this a good game. You keep running around these threads with a giant chip on your shoulder and it shows.

I believe he was just saying that their record in doing so SHOULD be relevant. I didn't find it that difficult to understand...

So we should send the 6 teams with the best records?? Then let's do away with divisions!! Just make it one big division.While we're at it, let's do away with conferences. 32 teams go to battle...top 12 advance. Sound like a plan?
 
Horrible PI call. Looks like the referee crew likes to get face time on TV.

As much as anyone? Yeah, an 8-8 team deserves to be in the playoffs as much as several 13-3 and 12-4 teams. :thumbup: Carry on with your myopic view of your 8-8 team. :P :PBack to the game... There were plays to be made on that Indy drive, but a few throws were a little off, and Wayne dropped that last pass. Once they get going, I think their offense will roll. Indy's receivers were open all over the place there. Can SD's offense keep up, will be the question.

Lots of people in here need to CHILL OUT and focus on the game - hence "GAME THREAD" in the title.

Both teams got here and are ACTUALLY PLAYING.

I worked with Rivers' aunt for about a year. About as down to earth as they come. From her stories, so was the whole family.

Sorry, wasn't trying to give you a hard time. I believe what you said, I just know what I see on the field. And Rivers acts like a punk.

He said they should do it like the NBA, where a division winner gets an automatic berth into the playoffs, but does not automatically get a higher seed than a wildcard team.Let me know if there's anything else that's been clearly stated that you need me to repeat for you so you can better understand it. That's twice now.

Agreed. Hard to argue otherwise.I understand the need for divisions in professional sports.

But, how about this -

If a divisional winner has a worse record than their slotted opponent in the 1st round, then they are the road team (i.e. the Colts would have the home game this year).

Fair enough. I can easily see how you would have that impression.
