We're just going to have to disagree. The current system is better than winning by a FG but still inferior to both teams getting 1 offensive possession. That's still more fair than the current system. To me it's a pretty big difference.

With incorporating the longer XP attempt, I think it makes even more sense to give each team a possession. Going for two is much more enticing and adds another degree of strategy.

I think any scenario that converts to sudden death will inevitably be considered unfair. But the only way to end OT quickly AND give the second team a shot to win after the first scores a TD is to force them to go for 2. I also think it would be more exciting too.

That would be better than the current setup.

Not over yet -- Carolina has blown some leads over the season - wont be surprised to see it happen here

Man I wish they'd have kicked that fg in the first half.

This is nice to see, but Seattle spotted them too many points.

While I agree that the lead was too much to overcome, I'm not happy with the complacency being shown this half by the Panther offense.

A win is a win. That's the only thing that matters in the playoffs.

Seattle's luck has run out.

Might get a little interesting here.

Any luck they may have had ran out at the goal line last February.

That missed kick last week was luck.

Panther offense was too conservative in the second half but won! Can't wait to watch the Bronco's and Steelers game.

 

[Plecoptera]

The Bronco's receivers need to quit dropping passes.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

No joke. They should be winning but for all the drops.

 

[TennFan]

I'm 8-0 so far. Had away teams week 1 and home teams week 2. Have Carolina and New England in Super Bowl but would rather see Broncos. Oh well, we see. Have Carolina winning it all!

The most complete teams left is the Panthers and the Cardinals, IMO.

Amendola and jones both should be suspended for at least the Afc champ game, probably longer.

I assume you mean chandler jones. Why should he be suspended?

He either overdosed on pills or smoked synthetic weed, not sure why that guy was playing just a couple days after this incident. The league is looking into this as a possible substance abuse incident.

Ok? He might be a first-time offender, which under the NFL's drug policy means he can't be suspended. If that's the case he would simply be referred to Stage One of the substance abuse program for 90 days.

It's pretty wild that after both have been in the NFL so long, we still have Manning vs. Brady in the AFC Championship.

 

[MAD]

Good job.

I got Carolina and Denver winning this weekend.

 

[TrueOrange]

Anyone else catch this on Saturday night?

The Packers player is Clay Matthews I think. (Classy)
