The End Zone



1. So when I posed the question about how good the NFC South was, you criticized me heavily. now that the Falcons have beaten your beloved Packers and have the inside track for home field, you say what?

Kdc: Um. Check past End Zone posts. You mentioned the AFC South, not the NFC South. But I get your drift. Atlanta (sadly) deserved their win against my Packers (despite the official’s missed call on the Gonzales catch on 4th down). They should cruise to home field advantage (& deserve it so far).


The Saints righted themselves quickly without Reggie Bush, so I can see them returning to the Super Bowl with Reggie Bush.

As stated in by me in mid-October, the Bucs were the surprise team with staying power who looks like they’re just not going to make it into the playoffs. But they’re a great story and next year they should be mighty.
Definitely the best division in the NFC.

Momo: So you might be right about that post, however Atlanta has been overlooked by most people in the league as a quality team. They are not flashy, just solid on both sides of the ball. Even their head coach name is not flashy, Mike Smith, might as well be John Doe. People outside of Atlanta couldn't’t pick that guy out of a lineup. Another thing is Matt Ryan is virtually unbeatable at home with a 19-1 record. They have already beaten the Saints in New Orleans, so with that said they have the tiebreaker. If they get home field it will be tough to beat them, just as the Packers found out


2. The NFL not suspending Andre Johnson for fighting is....

Kdc: Ridiculous. Andre Johnson might be the nicest guy on the planet as everyone is saying, but that doesn’t excuse his behavior on the field. Should’ve been at least 1 game & a fine for Johnson & Finnegan both. Hines Ward is correct – the NFL is being hypocritical.

Momo: The league not suspending shows that they are only looking out for their network. If the Texans were playing on Fox, CBS, or ESPN he would have been suspended. I know he could have would have appealed the suspension but by not suspending him you just sent the message that fighting is ok but hitting a quarterback or any type of hit on the field is a more punishable offense.

3.Should a team below .500 who wins there division be allowed to go to the playoffs? (NFC West)

Kdc: Why have divisions if they don’t mean anything? As ridiculous as the NFC West is right now, either the division is important or not. However, I agree w/Sports Illustrated’s Peter King – that doesn’t mean they should host the game if their record is inferior.

Momo: Ok, this is near and dear to my heart because the division in question has the two teams of my childhood and young adulthood are the ones we are talking about. This will shock you but I don’t think they should because you are rewarding mediocrity. How can you have a team that is 10-6 in another division and tell them thanks for playing but an inferior team is reaping the rewards of the playoffs. It’s almost the same thing in college football where a .500 team gets to participate in a bowl game. Stop giving out participation trophies.

4. Josh McDaniels taping the 49ers and then losing and also saying the Patriots used to do the same thing is...

Kdc: Correct, but who cares. Patriots got nailed on it & so should McDaniel’s.

Momo: Dead on and completely unsportsmanlike. McDaniel’s is skating on thin ice and the only thing that could save him is a work stoppage. You cannot be a leader of men and decide and try to cheat to win.
