2010 nfl playoff Scenarios
Nfl Playoff Scenarios, If the Packers win their remaining home games, they win the division and get a bye in the first round because of tiebreaker over Philly? If yes, are they headed for the Super Bowl?
If the Packers win four of their last five games and losing to New England, they have a decent chance of catching not only the NFC North title, but also earn a bye in the first round.
If the Packers beat the Bears in the final regular season and both teams are tied, the tiebreaker sequence would be: in the division record, record against common opponents, record against NFC teams, the strength of the victory, and strength of schedule. If the slide tiebreaker to force a victory – which is not out of question – the Packers held the edge.
The Packers would need the Eagles to lose one of their last four games and finish 11-5. Then the Packers will receive a green light tiebreaker over the Eagles to their season opening win at Philadelphia. So if the Packers take care of their own business, they should be in good playoff position. As for the Super Bowl, under your scenario, the Packers probably would have to beat the Falcons in the Georgia Dome in the NFC title game.
What do you think of the uniform of the Packers back?
I can not lie. I do not like them. I’ve never been a big fan of uniforms survival. It makes players look like they are dressed in Halloween costumes. What strikes me as another way for the NFL to make money by trying to sell jerseys unique looking?
My question is who would buy these ugly clothes? At least we only have to put up with these statements so hideous once every ten years.
The references in the game Packers-Falcons should not be allowed to locate a football match in a pee-wee. What is the punishment for horrible reffing?
NFL officials are ordered each week. The best of them go to work playoff games. Worst stay home during the playoffs and / or are not rehired.
Obviously they missed the fall of Tony Gonzalez on Sunday, but I can hardly blame them for that. On the corner of the original replay, it looked like a trap. Only a better angle on the other side showed Gonzalez dropped the ball on a game crucial fourth down.
Of all the things the Packers can blame for the loss, officials would be at or near the bottom of the list.
Which QB is more respected by his team, Jay Cutler or Aaron Rodgers? Long term of 10 years on the road, which has the best QB career?
Rodgers is more precise, makes fewer mistakes, is a better runner and is the undisputed leader of the Packers’ offense. I do not think that far in terms of who is the best quarterback in the short or long term.
I think the Packers will be a playoff team in class for years to come. Who do you think of their major competitors over the next five years in the NFC?
With Matt Ryan at the helm, the Falcons might be good for years to come. I could see the Packers-Falcons rivalry that the current level of Patriots-Colts. Assuming that Michael Vick stays in Philadelphia, Andy Reid led the Eagles will likely compete Packers and strong. A dark horse team may be the Buccaneers, who seem young and hungry.

geminid meteor shower 2010 video
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Stay tuned for nature's coming attraction. Early next week, the Geminid meteor shower will make its annual appearance, just in time for Christmas. Astronomers consider it the best meteor shower of the year, with more than 100 meteors streaking through the night sky every hour.
The peak of the meteor shower will occur early Tuesday, between midnight and sunrise local time. The show will be best in the Northern Hemisphere, easily visible with the naked eye.
The Geminids are actually rocky celestial leftovers. Every December, Earth passes through this stream of debris from 3200 Phaethon, once believed to be an asteroid and now considered an extinct – or iceless – comet. The meteors, or shooting stars, can appear anywhere, but always seem to fall from the Gemini constellation, thus their name.
Meteors occur when bits of particles enter the atmosphere and burn up, resembling incoming fireballs.
For those not willing to stay up late – or get up early – there should be a decent showing Monday once the sun sets. Actually, some meteors should be visible in the night sky from Dec. 12 to 16, as long as the sky is clear, according to NASA.
Eagles @ Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys just couldn't match the Philadelphia Eagles play makers on Sunday Night Football as Philly walked away with a 30-27 victory. Guys like Felix Jones, Jason Witten and Miles Austin couldn't match guys like Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy. That's about the easiest way to put it as the Eagles made big plays in the beginning -- DeSean Jackson's 61-yard receptions on the first play -- and big plays at the end -- Jackson's 91-yard fourth quarter touchdown.
The Cowboys have the play makers on the team to put up big numbers -- and they did in some areas -- but it wasn't enough as they fell to the Eagles. SB Nation's Blogging The Boys looks back at the offense and says Dallas simply couldn't match up with them.
