Should a losing team make the playoffs?
Interesting question. First, under the current rules of the NFL the answer would be and has been yes. Should they be. I don't think so. Why should a team that has a 10-6 record not make it because they play in a better division than a team that is a lame division and wins it at 7-9. To fix this, they might have to take a chapter from the NHL. Go with the top teams in each conference. Still have division for rivalries but go with just top teams in each Conference.
Its not like the Rams would benefit from this. In fact they would benefit better with allowing losing teams in the playoffs. On a side note, as much as I get down being a Rams fan the Browns and Lions always make me feel a little better. My brother asked me, "If someone would tell you your favorite team will suck for 25 years, but in that 25 years they would be good for 4 years and make it 2 Super Bowls and win one would you take it". Yes I would! And if you ask any Lions or Browns fan you better believe they would in a heart beat!!
Is J.J. Watt as good or better than Lawrence Taylor?
No freaking way! Watt is no question an amazing player. But LT changed the way the game is played on defense. He personified the rushing, sacking, line backer like no one ever had. He perfected the now famous "tomahawk chop" Watt could be compared to many great defensive lineman, and still not be the greatest of all time. Which I believe that LT would be one of 4 all time LBs. Mount Rushmore of LB so to speak. LT, Butkus, Lewis and Lambert. All time D linemen... Reggie White, Deacon Jones, Mean Joe, Alan Page. Could Watt be mentioned with them? With LeRoy Selmon, Bruce Smith? He might...
TD Celebrations
Okay. Some are ridiculous. Some people don't like Newton and his celebrations. But I will take them every day over the WRs that claim there is pass interference on every play. And I can't believe that the refs threw a flag on Ingram when he scored a TD, chucked the ball at the wall, which a lot of player do all the time, and because it bounced off the wall and hit some stadium worker chick in the back they flagged it. I mean really?? How cool was it when Beckham scored he ran the hurdles. Or does anyone remember the Fun Bunch??
Lets throw the flags on the whiny babies that think that every incomplete bass or drop ball is because of pass interference. Just stop! There should be a rule for every time they do that "throw the flag" motion with their hand the flag Should be thrown on them.
There you have it. Now I have to go watch the Bruins vs Habs. GO BRUINS!
