How do the nfl playoff seedings work from round to round? I don't remember if they reseed each round, or you have a traditional bracket. I assume it is: #1 Giants (bye) vs winner of (#4 vs #5) #2 Carolina/Atlanta (bye) vs winner of (#3 vs #6) Can Arizona get as high as the #3 seed? If Minnesota wins, they are the #3 and Arizona is the #4. If Minnesota loses, Chicago wins and Arizona loses, then Chicago is #3 and Arizona is #4. If Minnesota loses, Chicago wins and Arizona wins, I don't know who wins the Chicago-Arizona tiebreaker since they did not play head to head and would have the same conference record. |

The highest ranked team plays the lowest ranked team. so if the #6 team wins the 3/6 matchup, no matter what, they will play the top seed in the Divisional Round

They reseed after each round. So it would be: #1 Giants (bye) vs. winner of #4 vs. #5 #2 Carolina/Atlanta (bye) vs. #3 if they win. OR #1 Giants (bye) vs. #6 if they win #2 Carolina/Atlanta vs. winner of #4 vs. #5 |

I guess I just don't understand the rules for a kicking team downing a punt before it goes into the end zone.

I don't understand why the Bears punted it 20 yards. Just go for it.

The Packers are just a better team than the Bears. Now that the running game has picked up, this is looking just like their first meeting.

This is complete domination. The Packers are really clicking. They even ran an effective screen! The Bears look terrible in all phases of the game.

This is why the Packers are 5-9. Atrocious special teams and soon the defense will fall apart and allow the Bears to go up by 3 with little time left. The game should not be this close.

Yep, outgain them 3 to 1 and still give up the lead late. Happens every single game. It's up to Aaron Rodgers now.

My god. How can your special teams be so atrocious? Rodgers did it. Special teams is an epic failure. McCarthy better fire the ST and DC after this year. Just terrible. Packers were destined to lose this by 3.

If Brett Favre were the Packers QB, Crosby would have made that kick and the Packers would have won that coin toss. Isn't that interference? What a joke.

You do realize that talking to yourself is a sign of insanity, right?
Seriously, Crosby has choked this game away. Two line drive kicks right into the line - I don't know how the first one got through. Absolutely no excuse for not getting the ball up on a relatively short kick like the last one, no matter how cold it is. Last edited by bhlloy : 12-22-2008 at 10:55 PM. |

This is sickening. I think Vikings fans just jumped off a bridge. McCarthy better fire the ST coach along with DC Bob Sanders after the year. This is why the Packers are 5-10, it's not the offense at all.

As a Packer fan, I feel like I'm in my own Groundhog Day that only happens on Sundays.
My wife turned to me at the beginning of the 4th quarter and said 'Should be interesting to see how they lose this one...'

I mean, seriously. 2 blocked FGs, terrible kickoff coverage, 1 punt return hits a Packer and the Bears get a short field for a TD. Then the coin toss hits Urlacher in the head and Ron Winter does nothing about it, McCarthy doesn't challenge the spot of the ball on the 4th down run by Forte, and the refs miss an obvious PI on Driver on the 4 yard line. How many things can go wrong in 1 game? |

Golf clap for the Packers. I am off to enjoy another round of comment reading on the Press-Gazette website. It really is entertaining.
Oh, and Rodgers wasn't so hot on the final drive BTW. He had a great catch made by Jones and that was it. The play calling didn't exactly let him try to shine though.

Wow, that Bears game had me go through so many emotions it's sick. I feel like I've been violated after watching them play. I honestly feel bad if we make the playoffs. The team is just not good and has no business being in this position.

And when are the Packers going to invest in their special teams. It costs them a couple games each year (including this one). Heck, it probably cost them a trip to the Super Bowl last year. I'm astonished at how many teams in this league treat special teams so nonchalantely.

A lovely battle of two miserable teams. One with a record appropriate to their misery, one who has absolutely no business being in the playoffs, if they manage it.

After watching the first few weeks of the season I really thought that Orton was ready to establish himself as THE QB for Chicago. Chicago hasn't had THE QB for a long long time. But since since coming back from his injury he's been pretty pathetic at times. ...and the beat goes on for Bears QBs.
I haven't looked at the box score, but it seemed to me that Urlacher was nowhere to be found much of the game. But he's pretty much the face of the franchise at this point. Definitely not worth resigning him to a long term deal imo. Briggs on the other hand is a beast. |

You made me curious. Urlacher is credited with 3 tackles, two solo.

Well, I only watched the first half until sleep-deprivation kicked in and I went to bed, but Urlacher looked fine then. Briggs was getting a lot of work, but that was primarily because Green Bay was going away from Urlacher, and it was working well for them.
Also, as with last time, Green Bay was having no problem passing into the holes left in Chicago's zone. Color me very surprised that Chicago won that one. |

Well, they have tried. Bush (the guy who had the punt bounce off of him to set up Chicago's first TD) needs to go, he always seems to suck. The K Crosby is good, just blew last night. The P has been a problem all year and it started with cutting John Ryan, a horrible move, and then sticking with Frost for 11 weeks, an even worse move. The offensive line effects both ST and the offense, and that was the problem on the blocked kick last night. They have tried, but GM Thompson hasn't made good decisions there for the most part. I know LB cuts at the end of camp came down to which LB helped on ST the most. So, as you can see, it is not like they are taking it lightly, they just make some crappy moves.

At some point in time, GB needs to start bringing in quality veterans to backup/start on the OL and to play special teams. TT's main weakness is that he thinks rookies/draft picks can basically fill all depth voids. So, we go with 5-7 round picks and undrafteds for our special teams. He has the same opinion on backup OL, which currently consist of household names Breno Giacomini, Josh Sitton, Orrin Thompson and Allen Barbre (combined for 7 total games played prior to this season). It got so bad we had to move a backup guard (Moll) to starting right tackle because our tackle backups were so terrible. The end result of all this is a ton of mental errors, leading the league in penalties and having no consistency at these spots.
Compare that to teams like the Giants (have 2 former starters backing up their OL) and Carolina (3 former starters backup up). Right now, if a starting GB OL gets hurt (or craps the bed), the team has no one to turn to off the bench to push them or give depth. But, hey, GB was able to be something like $20 million under the cap by skimping on special teams and OL backups. That has to count for something, right Last edited by Arles : 12-24-2008 at 11:01 AM. |
