wvu80 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) That's how it is now but only for a field goal. Right. An opening drive TD wins the game, the other side never gets to touch the ball. It is better than it was, but it still seems unfair to the team that loses the coin toss, especially when you've got an Aaron Rodgers on your team and you lose the coin toss. When I would eliminate is the ref's explaining the overtime rules to the team captains at the beginning of overtime. Do they explain the regulation time rules at the opening coin flip?

That's a good point. The rules really aren't fair. Haha….good question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhound Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I don't see anyone beating Carolina if they continue to play like they did today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Well, I'm at 100%; every team I've picked is a loser. Steelers played well on offense but the D really kept them in it. At the end of the day, it was another 4th quarter come-back scoring a touchdown with 3 minutes to go to add to the legend of Peyton Manning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I've been with the Panthers all along and they do look the best right now. Mostly worried about New England. Bill, Tom and the gang always seem to be in the mix LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Panthers... How do you score 31 points in the first half, to go to the locker room winning 31-0, and then, score nothing in the 2nd half, while your opponent scores 24? Panthers are good, but if they are up and down like that, it would be hard to bet on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I just realized last weeks playoff games (1-10-16) were all won by the visiting team, this weekend's games were all won by the home team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deronb1 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 So glad Steelers are gone! Now, if Denver can just send the Pats packing. Im good with either Zona or Carolina, but would like to see Palmer get his chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rummy Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Arizona will not have a chance with Charlotte. New England should win, but the coin may not flip like it is supposed to.... Only three games left till August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think any team can beat any other team on any day. If the Panthers that played the 2nd half show up this week, the Cardinals will prevail. I'm hoping the Broncos can beat the Patriots, I'm so tired of them winning.

wvu80 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 I am Officially Predicting and I'd like to see the two best stories of the year in Superbowl L. The phenomenal season of the Carolina Panthers meeting up with the swan song of the classiest person in the NFL, Peyton Manning. Broncos win and Peyton goes out John Elway style, on top in his last game ever. +++ Then can we get rid of the @#$% roman numerals in naming super bowls??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 IMO, if(a big if) Denver would have waited to fire John Fox, picked up Wade Phillips anyway as DC, then they may have been unstoppable on offense as well as defense. Yes Manning has lost a bit of his skill set(physically) but Kubiak's offense is not one that plays to Manning's game. With that said also, Manning/receivers had to contend with blistering 20+mph winds. I felt Manning was putting zip on the ball(with accuracy) more than he had since week 12 or 13 of 2014. Six dropped passes in the first half for Denver definitely deflated opportunities to put real points on the board. Even with extra ooomph from Manning which helped compensate for the swirling wind, the receivers just did not hang on. Big Ben's shoulder was a non issue and he easily drilled the ball through the wind. I'm hoping the Broncos can beat the Patriots, I'm so tired of them winning. Against NE, IMO, again, Kubiak needs to let Manning be Manning and put points on the board the way he knows how. They will need the points(TD's) to counter the points NE is very capable of even against the best passing(199.6ypg) defense in the league.

I too would like to see Peyton go out a winner, and in the process beat the slimebag Pats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
