Cheer for Chicago tonight......

[CornerThree]

If Chicago beats Green Bay, Cleveland holds the 3rd pick, otherwise it goes to a coin flip.

 

[Smooth]

You sure? I thought the pick would go the Bucs...

If they are tied in strength of schedule it then goes to the head to head matchup, which means we'd get the lower pick...

Coin toss would be the last resort..

Yeah Chicago got their shit kicked in..

The greatest QB known to man, who BTW (is an alcoholic and suffers from depression) Kicked the hell outta the Bears tonight..

It's either a coin toss, or Cleveland gets it because they lost to Tampa. But both teams overall SoS ended up tied.

I'm pretty damn sure we get the 3rd spot because head-to-head matchup is the next result after SOS..

Also, it said in the PD today that we had the 3rd pick, so...

 

[Smooth]

It's official:

The tie between Cleveland and Tampa Bay for the third and fourth positions will be broken by a coin flip.

The NFL has all kinds of tiebreaker rules, but the most logical one, head-to-head is not used??? You know with our fukin luck we are losing this coin toss. No doubt in my mind.

Because the NFL wants to save the world the pain of seeing the Browns play the Bucs...

He's talking about the game that the two played previous, not another individual game...

He's saying that since the Browns lost to the Bucs, head to head, that they should get the third pick and not the Bucs...

Thanks Smooth, I thought it was obvious that that's what I was saying. We lost to the Bucs head-to-head so why isn't that part of the tiebreaker rule? But there are a lot of things about the NFL that don't really make sense.

^^^ Their overtime rule is a joke... Coin flip decides if you have a chance to win a game..

Damn right... as are the rules protecting QB's. And the fines given for hits that aren't even called penalties during the game. Etc., etc.

Browns losing to the Bucs head to head should be the obvious tie breaker for the position, and I can't believe that they aren't using it.
