Yeah the divisional round sounds like a cake walk on paper. But this is the Packers we are talking about, so anythyng could happen. The defence is very capable of big plays as Julius Peppers has shown with 2 INT TDs and we have ourscored our opponents at Lambeau by a massive margin. But they are simply inconsistent. Hopefully the extra week will pay dividends and we can prepare for whatever we get thrown at us.
Went out on the town last night, only caught the last 5 minutes of the ravens - steelers game. Couldn't make my predictions in time which is the worst as I had both the Panthers and Ravens as favourites as the Steelers were without Bell and the Cards just suck overall without Carson Palmer and Ellington. What else did I miss last night?
please log in to view this image Guys, sorry to be an amateur (as you know my first season of NFL). Can anyone explain the second round of the playoffs, before you get to the AFC/NFC final? Just confused in terms of Carolina potentially in either of those games... Don't laugh too hard
Mate, don't even stop asking us for info, we're always here to help. It's the seeding. The top performer in the wild card round will play against the number 2 seed, which is Green Bay. The worst performer has to go up against the top seed, which is the Seahawks. So untill all games are played in each division, the schedule is not fixed. The conference game is fixed to the number 1 seed with homefield advantage. The Patriots and Seahawks are both the #1 in their conference so they will play at home in the third round if they're still in the race. if that is not the case it is back to seeding again. The Super Bowl itself is played in the stadium of the Cardinals this year. Hope this helps.
Thanks Cove What are the scenarios then based on the winning and losing tonight? Can you just give me the breakdown of who plays who, then it'll make sense. Thanks for the help
From wiki:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_playoffs The NFL does not use a fixed bracket playoff system. The number 1 seed will host the worst surviving seed from the first round (seed 4, 5 or 6), while the number 2 seed will play the other team (seed 3, 4 or 5).[2] The two surviving teams from each conference's divisional playoff games then meet in the respective AFC and NFC Conference Championship games (hosted by the higher seed), with the winners of those contests going on to face one another in the Super Bowl. Only twice since 1990 has neither a number one-seeded team nor a number two-seeded team hosted a conference championship game (in the 2006 AFC Championship the #3 seeded Indianapolis Colts hosted the #4 seeded New England Patriots with the Colts winning 38–34 and the 2008 NFC Championship the #4 seeded Arizona Cardinals hosting the #6 seeded Philadelphia Eagles with the Cardinals winning 32–25). I'm sorry mate, there is no easy way to explain the procedures, it's all messy in the NFL. Don't even get me started on the tie-breaking procedures... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-overtime-rules-bracket-and-postseason-format
It sounded like Oklahoma to me, maybe he's planning to sing Surrey with the fringe on top in the second half.
