Have to disagree Ham. Why should the leading team get an unfair advantage late in the season? Takes away from parity. They already get home field advantage, that's a good reward and enough of an edge.

Because you cant have 5 games with 9 teams,and wild card weekend is to find out who the 8 seed is

Home field advantage AND an extra week off is likewinning the lottery and them giving you extra money for winning. Home field advantage IS the prize, it's huge advantage

Fourth best division winner gets home field advantage. We got it by barely having a winning record last season. We surely didn’t deserve the same as the number one regular season team.

Andy Dalton getting the ax finally. They just couldn’t get the Pats to give them anything for him evidently.

You can’t keep the leader of the team on board and bring in a new leader. It’s time for the Bengals to Turn the Page. Burrow’s team now. He doesn’t need the distraction of all the deep feelings players have with Dalton developed over all these years. Plus it’s doing right by Dalton to let him move forward.(probably to the Pats...but that’s a different post)

You think they will throw the guy that broke every college record and chosen first in the draft out there to play? Crazy! Usually the first overall pick sits and is groomed and developed for three years. Those silly Bengals.

I might have let that comment slide for that old poster FL....but this new guy GNC gets no slack until he earns it

Poor Cook was lost wondering where everybody went. I sent him an email....hopefully he figured it out.

Pressure is totally different.The game is much faster too.Wait till he gets hammered on a few times by the Ravens defense.He gets hurt and they have??????Stand by my post that Daltons release was a STUPID MOVE

Seems like you are minimizing the regular season there Birdman. I like the extra incentive to earn that top seed and get a bye. 

I don't think I'm minimizing it.....I think the incentive should be getting to the playoffs and a chance to win a super bowl........the regular season should be the qualifier with no team getting additional advantage just because they finished with a better record.  New England is a perfect example of this being a unfair advantage......the've played in the worst dvision in football for 15 years.....they pile on wins against weak divisional opponents that almost always gave them the HF advantage and first round byes.  Why should they be rewarded for that?

Having 3 home playoff games should be incentive enough.....giving them an extra week of rest is excessive.

How do you have 5 games with 9 teams?.Someone has to be off while the wildcard is decided

Agree about the Pats free ride,but the NFL doesn't control years and years of stupid owners in that division.Hopefully, they are competitive FINALLY

I have a bet with a friend down here in Florida that he comes to Jacksonville since his old coach Gruden is here now. My friend thinks Belichick will bring him in for a year or two. Fortunately I finally found a store down here that sells Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets. 

Ham, thanks for getting Cook the info to get on here. I"d like to have as many of our original clique on here as possible. Everyone of you provided so much comfort during a VERY dark time of my life. So very grateful!

Wrang, looks like you'll be binging Tastycakes for a while

Do they have another QB on their roster to push Mr. Moustache? Every team wants competition for every player on the roster.
