Re: Freezer Bowl
I also noticed that the Packers used to have many of their home games in the first half of the season and went on the road in the second half. I assume that was to try to an avoid the cold in Green Bay? Partly, also so that Green Bay could take care of their annual games at Los Angeles and San Fran...

Re: Freezer Bowl
I think we'd better get used to scenarios like the one in Buffalo.

Now a playoff game has been rescheduled. Such moves...

Re: Incredible officiating moment in Packers-Vikings
For a lot of fans, the thing that drives them crazy about NFL officiating is the inconsistency. Something gets called in one game, and the identical thing gets ignored in another game. I too thought there was no way that wasn't a penalty.

Re: Neutral? Hah!
Tangentially related factoid: During their Super Bowl era, the Vikings played 10 out of their 11 non-SB playoff games at home. And most of these were before playoff teams were seeded; they just benefited from the luck of the rotation system that many times. The one year they would have had to go on ...

Nobody was better than 10-3 at this point in 1979 (Hou., Pitt., S.D.), 1993 (NYG), 2002 (Phil., G.B., T.B.), or 2014 (N.E., Den., G.B., Ariz.).

Re: random Overtime/Kicker question
That '83 game resulted in one of John McKay's better tirades. “Capece is kaput. We will not kick a field goal next week if we are on the 2-yard line, the 1-yard line, none.”
