Kelce is #36 in receiving yards with 823 and Jonnu Smith is #35 in receiving yards with 828. Mark Andrews is #57 in receiving yards with 619. It's hardly an outrage that Kelce got in ahead of Jonnu Smith because it's basically a coin flip. Whereas McDuffie is the #2 ranked cornerback on PFF, just behind Surtain and ahead of DeJean. Those 3 for me have been the best 3 corners in the NFL this year.
Andrews has 10 tds and higher yards per catch as does Smith who also has 7 tds.
More than double and triple his tds is an important factor you're ignoring.
I don't think many will argue against your mcduffie stance
Bowers is already the pro bowl starter. The guy then compared McDuffie being left out to Kelce being included. Even though the stats show that there's feck all to separate the next best performing TE after Bowers in the AFC.
See above
Yeah but Andrews has a generational QB throwing to him and Kelce only has Kermit and the refs.
Not sure what the point of this is, I don't think there's many actual nfl fans that wouldn't call mahomes generational.
Guess I should know better than to argue with p ro over any kc issue.
The point is that it's absurd to draw a parallel with the omission of McDuffie and the inclusion of Kelce.
I dont agree. Winning your division has to mean something.
It means something - the division winner gets in the playoff.
What if for example the 2020 season happens where the NFCE winner has the 8th best record. Would you say entry to the playoffs is the current system and then seeding within the playoffs is just record based?
I'd be interested in a record-based seeding for post-season games, and retain the reseeding format each round. I find a seeding format based on wins justifies regular season performance while the awarding of a home playoff game for lesser wins is rewarding mediocrity in some cases. Now, a single win difference isn't egregious especially if say the lesser win side beat the other side in the season. But in a situation where say the higher wins team also beat the lower win team but divisions seeding shafts the higher side. An 8-10 win team should not be hosting a playoff game to 12+ win team. And under no circumstances should a sub .500 side host a playoff game solely because they won a shitty division. It's atrocious, a mockery of competition.
The NBA seeds their playoffs by record not division winner. In 2023-24, the top three seeds in the West were all from the Northwest Division and the top two seeds in the East were from the Atlantic Division. However, the NBA does not reseed for each round, instead retaining a fixed bracket which I'm not a fan of such.
The NHL groups their playoffs by division, basically a regional play-in to get one team from each division in the conference finals. This could be interesting if say the NFL grouped divisions into a regional playoff context, i.e., East-North and South-West regions.
MLB goes by division winner seeding similar to NFL.
It's moot anyhow, the owners vote this stuff and not a single owner is going to vote against his/their own interest which is a home playoff for winning the division. And an argument brought forward on shows such as Get Up! was by former players, that teams assemble rosters to win their division to get in the playoffs. Which I totally get from that view, although we always hear they assemble rosters to win the Super Bowl which can be achieved without winning the division.
Regular Season Week 18
New
Is the late game not on sky
Last game of the season with nothing to play for and the cowardly Browns coach punts on 4th-and-4 at the BAL 43. Playing to not win and retain lower draft position perhaps?
These last 2 weeks have been awful for the NFL. So many awful games
Whos gonna win the Superb Owl then?
Oh no not flowers
Probably not the Ravens if that's as serious as it appears.
Edit: well he's walking. Hopefully it isn't.
I want Lions vs Bills but it will likely be Eagles vs Chiefs
Ugh the Chiefs
Lamar Jackson's stats are bonkers
He can also get the best season qb rating of all time as well tonight. To many incompeltions early though so he might not get it
Not bad for a running back
Must be 5 drops now
Bloody hell, that run was manic.
Oh great. Now Hamilton.
I just looked at top rushing TD scorers this season was stunned to see James Cook top of the pile. First I thought it would be Henry but secondly I could've sworn Josh Allen mopped up the majority for the Bills.
Edit: Henry is now joint top.
Edit x2: Henry is outright top.

Nice pick
Hope Flowers is all right. Ravens do look a proper threat now
If it all clicks. Discipline and consistency have been issues and it has to improve
Forfeit, that's one way to make sure the bengals don't get in
Far to many silly penalties all year. But if lamar doesn't get antsy we can beat anyone
Crunch time... this intro though
What channel is this game on in the uk
