EagleFan · 06-18-2018, 09:32 PM

Taking the "selected by me" best teams from each of the current 32 NFL teams and will run a world cup style tournament. Felt the need to do something world cup related.

1st
I'll select the teams.

2nd
I'll randomly pick the 8 groups.

3rd
WC NFL-style time.

How it will work.

1st round:
Round robin tournament, 1 game versus each team in your group. Yes, ties will be possible. 3 Points for each win, 1 point for each tie. Point differential tie breaker. Each game will be neutral site.

2nd round:
Top two teams from each group move on to the final single elimination tournament. No ties in these games.

2017 Philadelphia Eagles (13-3, SB winner) - B
1978 Pittsburgh Steelers (14-2, SB winner) - F
1999 St. Louis Rams (13-3, SB winner) - C
1994 San Diego Chargers (11-5, AFC champ) - H
1984 San Francisco 49ers (15-1, SB winner) - G
2013 Seattle Seahawks (13-3, SB winner) - E
2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (12-4, SB winner) - B
1999 Tennessee Titans (13-3, AFC champ) - H
1991 Washington Redskins (14-2, SB winner) - G

The decision was 1st a super bowl win would beat anything else (so the 16-0 Patriots missed out). Second, if no super bowl win then a birth in the super bowl would be the next criteria (so that ruled out the Vikings team with Cunningham). Then we go to the recent expansion/Browns/Lions rule which would be good season while winning the division.

I used random.org to generate the groups but I had two rules. No teams from the same current division in the same group and each group would have 2 NFC and 2 AFC teams.

If either of those rules was broken with the random roll I went to the next team down the list, until I got to one that fit.

There was one roll that I re-rolled. Round 3 saw the 1985 Chicago Bears come up on the roll for group F and I thought that made the group a serious group of death so I rolled again.

Glad that every group has at least 2 SB winners and no group has 4.

Or has the end of the world cup shifted momentum?

Second, if no super bowl win then a birth in the super bowl would be the next criteria (so that ruled out the Vikings team with Cunningham). Then we go to the recent expansion/Browns/Lions rule which would be good season while winning the division. __________________ The EagleFan YouTube Channel - Reactions Soarin' & Scratchin' YouTube Channel - We react to music, videos, TV, we talk, we are planning some field trips Soarin' & Soothin' - Meditation, Relaxation, and Sleep Aid; mental health is important Last edited by EagleFan : 06-20-2018 at 06:50 PM.

EagleFan Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Mays Landing, NJ USA	I used random.org to generate the groups but I had two rules. No teams from the same current division in the same group and each group would have 2 NFC and 2 AFC teams. If either of those rules was broken with the random roll I went to the next team down the list, until I got to one that fit. There was one roll that I re-rolled. Round 3 saw the 1985 Chicago Bears come up on the roll for group F and I thought that made the group a serious group of death so I rolled again. Glad that every group has at least 2 SB winners and no group has 4. __________________ The EagleFan YouTube Channel - Reactions Soarin' & Scratchin' YouTube Channel - We react to music, videos, TV, we talk, we are planning some field trips Soarin' & Soothin' - Meditation, Relaxation, and Sleep Aid; mental health is important Last edited by EagleFan : 06-18-2018 at 10:47 PM.

EagleFan Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Mays Landing, NJ USA	Group A 1997 Packers vs. 2016 Falcons On the Falcons' first drive Devonta Freeman ends it with a 36 yard touchdown run as the Falcons take a 7-0 lead. The Packers would answer with a William Henderson 16 yard touchdown run to tie the game 7-7. The Falcons would get a late 46 yard Matt Bryant field goal and would lead 10-7 after the first quarter. The Packers would respond quickly, just 8 seconds into the 2nd quarter as Brett Favre hits Robert Brooks for a 44 yard touchdown strike to take a 14-10 lead. After the teams trade 3 and outs the Falcons would go on a 17 play, 77 yard drive that ate up over 9 minutes of the clock and ended in a 26 yard field goal to get to within 14-13. The Packers would attempt a 53 yard field goal on the final play of the half but it would miss wide right. The Packers take a 14-13 lead into the half. The Packers would drive the distance on their first drive of the second half and Robert Brooks would catch a 10 yard touchdown pass from Favre, his second touchdown reception of the game. The touchdown puts the Packers up 21-13. The Packers would add 3 more points on a 30 yard field goal with under 2 minutes left in the quarter. The third quarter ends with the Packers up 24-13. With 12:12 left in the game Dorsey Levens would score on a 7 yard run to increase the lead to 31-13. The game is getting out of hand. After exchanging possessions the Falcons get the ball with 4:31 left and drive 66 yards in under a minute and a half. The drive ends on a Matt Ryan 19 yard touchdown pass to Julio Jones. They have pulled back to 31-20 with 3:09 left in the game. The Packers get a 1st down on their drive but Levens fumbles the ball with 1:07 left to give the Falcons the slightest hope. The Falcons are unable to capitalize and the game ends on a 4th and goal incomplete pass. 1997 Packers 31 2016 Falcons 20 1968 Jets vs. 1969 Chiefs The Jets are on the board first on a Matt Snell 30 yard touchdown run to take a 7-0 lead. The Chiefs answer just 2 plays later on a 69 yard touchdown pass from Len Dawson to Frank Arbanas to tie it up 7-7. The Jets would drive into Chiefs' territory but Namath would be intercepted by Willie Lanier. The quarter ends tied 7-7. Midway through the 2nd Dawson would hit Frank Pitts for a 7 yard touchdown pass to give the Chiefs a 14-7 lead. Nether team would do much but a late fumble gives the Jets one chance for a hail mary from midfield but it comes up incomplete. The Chiefs lead 14-7 at the half. Midway through the 3rd Arbanas would catch his second touchdown of the game, a 10 yarder to give the Chiefs a 21-7 lead. The Jets would drive deep into Chiefs' territory but it the drive stalls at the 7 and they settle for a 24 yard field goal to get to within 21-10. The quarter ends with the Chiefs up by 11, 21-10. Early in the 4th a good punt return would set the Chiefs up in Jets territory to begin their drive at the 34. On 3rd down Dawson would be picked off by Ralph Baker to end the drive. The Jets would get a first down but drive stalls there. After which a 51 yard touchdown run by Robert Holmes puts the game basically out of reach at 28-10 with just over 8 minutes remaining. The Jets would then drive to the Chiefs' 33 but turn the ball over on downs with just over 4 minutes left. After forcing a 3 and out the Jets would again drive, this time to the 17. Again they would turn the ball over on downs. The Chiefs run the clock out for the 28-10 victory. 1968 Jets 10 1969 Chiefs 28 __________________ The EagleFan YouTube Channel - Reactions Soarin' & Scratchin' YouTube Channel - We react to music, videos, TV, we talk, we are planning some field trips Soarin' & Soothin' - Meditation, Relaxation, and Sleep Aid; mental health is important Last edited by EagleFan : 06-19-2018 at 07:45 PM.

EagleFan Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Mays Landing, NJ USA	Group B 1990 Bills vs. 2017 Eagles The Eagles threaten first as they drive into Bills' territory to the 18 but Ajayi fumbles the ball and the drive stalls. The drive gives the Bills momentum as they drive the distance, capped off by a Jim Kelly to Keith McKeller touchdown pass to give the Bills a 7-0 lead. The quarter ends with the Eagles having a 1st and goal from the 5 after an Ajayi 45 yard run but the Bills still lead 7-0. The Eagles drive ends with Carson Wentz coming up short on a scramble and Jake Elliott hits the chip shot field goal to make it 7-3. The teams exchange a couple punts before the Eagles take over on their own 37 with 4:28 left in the half. The Eagles drive to the Bills' 17 and have a 3rd and 5. Wentz is sacked by Bruce Smith to force 4th down and Elliott hits the field goal to make it 7-6 with under a minute left in the half. The Bills drive to the Eagles' 32 with just seconds left to setup a last second field goal attempt. Scott Norwood misses wide left but the Bills lead 7-6 at the half.

Only 1 first down in the quarter and that was nullified by a Bernie Kosar interception 2 plays later. The first quarter ends scoreless.

The Browns answer and drive the distance with Kosar hitting Ozzie Newsome for a 13 yard touchdown pass. The Browns take a 7-3 lead. The Buccaneers respond and go on a 10 play drive that ends on a Johnson to Johnson 5 yard touchdown pass. They have retaken the lead 10-7. The Browns drive to midfield but Kosar is intercepted by John Lynch to end the drive. Time runs out on the Buccaneers and they go into the half leading 10-7. The 3rd quarter is again dominated by defense. A few more first downs are made but no team crosses midfield and the punters earn their paychecks. After three quarters the Buccaneers lead 10-7. After exchanging a couple punts the Buccaneers take over near midfield. They go the distance and cap it with another Johnson to Johnson (Brad to Keyshawn) pass, this one 23 yards. The Buccaneers extend their lead to 17-7. The Browns drive into Buccaneers territory but turn the ball over on downs. After forcing a 3 and out the Browns get the ball at their 38 with 2:04 left.

The Buccaneers win 17-14. 2002 Buccaneers 17 1986 Browns 14 __________________ The EagleFan YouTube Channel - Reactions Soarin' & Scratchin' YouTube Channel - We react to music, videos, TV, we talk, we are planning some field trips Soarin' & Soothin' - Meditation, Relaxation, and Sleep Aid; mental health is important Last edited by EagleFan : 06-19-2018 at 08:16 PM.
