In an article from Bob McGinn on the JSOnline insider, he breaks down the Packers-Eagles game like he does every other game every week. (he generally quotes sources that he chooses to keep anonymous). He starts off the article this way: As champions of the NFC East, the Eagles are seeded third. The Packers edged the Giants and Tampa Bay on a tiebreaker for the sixth seeding. Oddsmakers have established the Eagles as a 2 ½-point favorite. That might be all well and good, but three personnel men from teams that played the Eagles since December said Tuesday that the Eagles are in trouble. Pressed to predict a winner, they all picked the Packers by the scores of 27-21, 27-17 and 28-24. "And I'm being generous with that 24," said the scout who guessed 28-24.

Regarding the Rooney Rule, I have a few questions: 1) Does it apply if you are hiring from within 2) If you hire a black coach, do you have to interview a white coach as well Depending on the answer to either of these answers, I have a third question 3) Should the Cowboys just interview Leslie Frazier and should the Vikings just interview Jason Garrett?

Frazier was made the Vikings coach a few days ago. The rule does not apply if an assistant coach has language in his contract guaranteeing him the head coaching job in case of an opening. For example, this was the case when Mike Martz took over as head coach of the St. Louis Rams before the 2000 season. Also, the rule does not apply if the assistant coach taking over the head position is a minority, as was the case with Mike Singletary and the San Francisco 49ers in late 2008. I think 1)Yes, unless it was already decided. 2)No Edit: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/561770-rooney-rule-an-insult-to-minority-coaches-and-fair-competition		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

It's not not complicated, but I do think people are making too big of a deal out of it. I think it just boils down to: If the first team to be given a chance to possess the ball kicks a field goal on that first possession, the game continues, any other score wins, if you have the most points.

A lot of the talk I heard isn't that it's complicated, so much as it was about that it opens up interesting (possibly unforeseen) strategies that can really change things. For example the big one is onside kicking the opening kickoff. If they get it they can't just settle for a field goal to win. If you get it you can, because they had their chance at possession.

I sort of like Mike Greenberg's idea of just making overtime rules so that the first team to 6 points is the winner. This way the game isn't necessarily changed, and you can't just kick one field goal and win it. But two field goals is good.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Although I suppose the only complaint people have with the sudden death OT rules is that there is a bias to the team that wins the coin toss. The solution then was simply to give the kicking team a chance to touch the ball, and once both offenses touch the ball it's game on as usual.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

	Jeremy - I believe virtually everything I read. 01/06/2011 @ 06:14:30 PM
Yeah, and if you're going to have a first to 6 rule that means you could get a stop, and kick a fg and not win, and it would take more time. You lose a lot of the sudden death-ness. At that point you may as well just make it a 5th, 6th, 7th quarter, and so on, and the team with the most points when the game is over wins.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Well, you don't want to "change the game", and eliminating field goals altogether would definitely be a big change to the actual gameplay. The problem lies in the fact that it isn't really a fair shake. Interesting stats I found show that since 1994, teams that won the opening coin toss won almost 60% of the games, 35% of the time winning it on the very first possession. I think all the NFL was trying to combat was situations where one team never got a shot. Although, if 60% of the games are won by the team that won the coin toss, whether or not it was on the opening possession, it stands to reason that maybe there is a need to modify the rule further. Clearly, there is a bias in overtime to the team that wins the coin toss. On a related note, I'll look for statistics about the percentage of teams that win after winning the opening coin toss.

That way, safeties would actually mean something, while not changing the aspect that a TD wins it automatically, otherwise you need two "lesser" scores.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Clearly, there is a bias in overtime to the team that wins the coin toss. Presumably this has to do with field position. I'm too lazy to look up any actual data, but lets say average starting position after a kickoff is your own 25. Let's say you get 20 yards (50 yard line) and have to punt, giving your opponent the ball somewhere inside the 20. Both teams have a had possession then, but the team winning the opening kickoff had the better field position, and will continue to if the teams trade short drives. The new rules even out the potential starting field position on first possession drives. jthompto Wrote - Today @ 07:16:47 AM Scott Wrote - Yesterday @ 01:22:02 PM Is everyone ready for the new playoff overtime rule that every seems to think is way more complicated than it actually is?

	Scott - 6225 Posts 01/07/2011 @ 02:53:08 PM
What rules are there to be foolish, the rule that says that division winners get a home game? Is that so ridiculous? Besides, there is a 16 point swing because of the fact that one of those home teams happened to be 7-9 this year, and no one things they will win their game. If instead of 16-0 in favor the saints it was 10-6, then the overall total would be 36-30, which isn't that out there. Although it does seem that the nutcan crew is leaning in favor of the road team this week. That still doesn't make the "division winners get a home game" rule foolish.

I think it's the first time all 4 road teams technically have better records than the teams hosting them. (the Packer beat the eagles in week 1, giving them the tie breaker). I believe in the NBA, home court advantage isbased on record and not seeding, so even though you may be a division winner, you will not have home court advantage if your record is worse than your first round opponent. http://www.nba.com/2011/news/features/art_garcia/01/04/playoff-losers/index.html		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

	Scott - Get Up! Get outta here! Gone! 01/09/2011 @ 01:53:04 PM
I think they went to four divisions because they added the Texans, which put 16 teams in each conference. 16 didn't divide well into 3. You would have had 2 divisions with 5 teams and 1 division with 6 teams in each conference. I think the current divisional system they have in place works pretty well. And, the Seahawks won yesterday, so clearly they are worthy of the playoffs. This isn't like the NCAA tournament where a team is chosen by a group of voters and there is speculation about whether the team was good enough to warrant such placement. The Seahawks played an NFL schedule and got into the playoffs the same way that every team has gotten into the playoffs under the same playoff structure. If anything, we should just be complaining that the Wild Card cheapens the playoffs and only let division winners in.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

	Alex - 3619 Posts 01/09/2011 @ 03:04:47 PM
Good point about 16 teams. They could have gone with 2 divisions. Seahawks winning yesterday only underscores the point. We all picked them to lose even though they were at home, which actually made me pause for a second on my pick, but on the road where they belonged they would have had half of a half of a chance of winning. But because they beat up on 3 of the other worst teams in football (well if you call 4-2 beating up), they got a home playoff game. Although the thought of Clay chasing down Hasselbeck in the NFC Championship game could persuade me to quit complaining...you Vikings fans better check into that conspiracy right away (or maybe not until after this game when some of sort Reid clock mismanagement inevitably hands the Packers the game, unless McCarthy beats him to the punch, the suspense is killing me already).

Really? At the start of the season Woodson had a grade of 85 from Scouts Inc. and Williams was a 66.

JSOnline writer Bob McGinn has stated a few times that Williams has been outplaying Woodson pretty much all year. I can't find the article right now, but Woodson has been burned on long plays more, and is getting thrown to more than Williams. Also, the Packers are trying to find ways to match Woodson up against the non-deep threat receivers. On second hand, I found it, but it's an insider column, so I can't post the link. Here are some excerpts from the column written on December 18: Today, as Woodson completes his fifth season for the Green Bay Packers and 13th in the National Football League, he's become a cornerback that his defensive coordinator must try to hide. ... Because of his reputation, Woodson has received the benefit of every doubt from the network television people and the national press. The Pro Bowl is a reputation-based honor, and Woodson probably stands a good chance to be selected for the third straight year even though his unheralded teammate, Tramon Williams, has outplayed him almost without fail for 13 games. ... Before the Baltimore Ravens played at Lambeau Field last December, veteran wide receiver Derrick Mason was asked about Woodson. "He's one of those corners that can play a guy man-to-man and not need any help and pretty much shut down that side of the field," Mason said. "He's playing tremendous right now." This year, since early in the season, opponents have been attacking Woodson wherever he's lined up, trying to take advantage of his decline in one-on-one matchups. ... Last Sunday, the Detroit Lions kept waiting and waiting for an opportunity in which Calvin Johnson would be matched outside against Woodson. Dom Capers was able to prevent that from happening by matching Williams on Johnson in all nickel situations, which was the entire game save seven snaps in base. Finally, late in the third quarter, Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan caught Capers in a 3-4 with man coverage outside and Nick Collins in a single-safety shell. When Woodson guessed wrong on what route Johnson would run, Johnson released outside and burned him deep for 44 yards. ... Three weeks ago in Atlanta, the Falcons sent out three wide receivers on third and 3. It isn't often that an opponent is able to isolate Woodson deep against a slot receiver in nickel, but because of down and distance Capers brought Collins into the box. From the left slot, No. 3 receiver Harry Douglas beat Woodson badly on a deep corner route that would have been a 35-yard gain if not a 65-yard touchdown. This time, Matt Ryan overthrew him. Sometimes stats don't tell the whole story. Here's a guy who documents specific plays and patterns and trends and then comes to conclusions based on them. An interesting take from the most credible of all the Packers' writers.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Like I said, I'm willing to concede on 1-on-1 coverage, but you can't just ignore the fact that Woodson has almost twice as many tackles and 5 forced fumbles. Calvin Johnson can burn anyone deep with no safety help, plus it adds that Woodson guessed wrong, it happens. If you want to rank them based solely on coverage skills you can make a case for Tramon. Overall though I think Woodson is still a better player because of his versatility. Tramon is lining up against #1 WRs more, but part of that could be to free up Woodson for run support or blitzing. Tramon is the #1 cover corner, Woodson is playing more of a rover position.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

I suppose I should qualify that a little. Tramon has outperformed Woodson as a cover corner. Woodson definitely is effective in other ways, but like McGinn suggests, Capers has to find ways to not use Woodson in strictly man-to-man situations, especially against a teams number 1 receiver.

Melissa does earn herself a handful of cool points though. Unfortunately they're worth about as much as Page 3 coupons.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.
