MrRant 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 Eagles have home-field advantage based on better conference record than St. Louis. The Colts win the AFC South based on head-to-head sweep of the Titans. Seattle is No. 5 seed based on better strength of victory than Cowboys. Right now, the Packers would be No. 4 seed over the Vikings based on better record in common games. However, if each team wins in Week 17, their record in common games will be tied and the Vikings will win the NFC North based on better record in conference games. Wild-card matchups AFC Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts Tennessee Titans at Baltimore Ravens First-round byes: New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs. NFC Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers First-round byes: Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 Just a bit of breaking news off of ESPN.com: The Miami Dolphins football operation will undergo a shakeup for the 2004 season but ESPN.com has confirmed that the makeover will not include the departure of head coach Dave Wannstedt, who will be granted a reprieve by owner Wayne Huizenga. Sources said Sunday afternoon that Wannstedt, who is 41-24 in four seasons pending the outcome of the season finale against the New York Jets, will be retained. The sources said that Wannstedt, who has one year remaining on his original five-year contract, will receive a one-season extension through 2005. The tradeoff Wannstedt will make for keeping his job is the addition of a management official who will have general manager-type responsibilities, especially in the personnel department. During his tenure, Wannstedt has held sway over personnel decisions and the composition of his roster. Current senior vice president of football operations and player personnel Rick Spielman was essentially hired by Wannstedt and, despite his title, ranks below the head coach in the Miami football flow chart. Wannstedt, 51, has acknowledged to friends and staffers that he is amenable to bringing in a general manager. The general manager would then, probably after the 2004 season, determine Wannstedt's fate. A one-year contract extension will preclude Wannstedt from entering 2004 as a lame-duck coach. Possible candidates for the newly-created front office job include current Buffalo Bills assistant general manager Tom Modrak, former New Orleans general manager Randy Mueller and Tim Ruskell, who is currently the personnel director at Tampa Bay. Huizenga is expected to make the announcement on Monday. He met for two hours Friday with club president Eddie Jones and the two men apparently finalized their plans then for restructuring the football operation. Some sort of change in the football operation has been anticipated since the Dolphins began to slump a few weeks ago. Despite winning at Buffalo last weekend, Miami was eliminated from playoff contention, the second straight year in which the Dolphins failed to advance to the postseason. While the Dolphins are viewed by many as underachievers, and some veterans seem to have tired of Wannstedt, it could have been difficult to dismiss the coach, given his record in his four-year tenure. This season marked the third time in four seasons that the club posted double-digit victories under Wannstedt's stewardship. Since 1970, only six coaches have been dimissed following seasons in which they won 10 or more games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 What a year. I have to choose as to whether I'd rather have the Packers or Vikings take the last spot. I don't think I could handle the Packers making it in, and the Vikings I hate almost as much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't laugh if a player gets hurt, ever. Even if he is killing my team, I can't bring myself to do that. It just seems very dark. And I think the Vikings may decide that "football is just tooo harddd" and go home instead of playing the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
