Bracket

[edit]

What is stopping the creation of a 14-team bracket for the NFL? KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 05:31, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, one such work exists. But it will have to wait.

Trying to cite the playoff schedule before the last weekend of games even begin

[edit]

I am linking here below some of the diffs to edits I and others have made within the past few days. Please compare the schedules that we reverted to the one that the league eventually released. For example, I do not think there was prior warning that ESPN/ABC would eventually be given the early 1pm Sunday game instead of a Saturday game like they had been assigned in previous Wild Card Weekends. This should be used as a friendly reminder in future NFL playoff articles that network assignments should not be listed, and any such sources would be unreliable, until the league officially announces them.

Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:43, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also recall the 2015–16 NFL playoffs with the previous 12-team format, when both AFC Wild Card games were played on the Saturday, and then both NFC Wild Card games were played on the Sunday (instead of having a game from each conference on the same day). There was no warning that the league was going to do that beforehand. And iirc that same thing happened during the 2019–20 NFL playoffs Wild Card Weekend with no prior warning.

I know that's wierd that the way they do it this year maybe put all the simulcast games all on 1 day and normal broadcasts only on the other day Hoopstercat (talk) 00:31, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Bears vs Saints game is being simulcast on CBS, Nickelodeon AND Amazon Prime. Change CBS/Nickelodeon to CBS/Nickelodeon/Amazon Prime. ItMeJordy (talk) 08:42, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nickelodeon and Amazon Prime were each separate telecasts, too (not a simulcast), so their respective announce crews should also be reflected. rawmustard (talk) 03:57, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 21:18, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

a parallel universe ?

[edit]

‌Maybe it’s a silly question, but I was wondering about it :
If for some reason, Chicago won over New Orleans (let’s assume), then Tampa Bay would’ve been at home against Los Angeles, am I right?
But with Super Bowl LV also in Raymond James Stadium, which RJS would be shown as << Raymond James Stadium >>, and which one as << Raymond James Stadium >> ?   Or both, considering it is for different reasons?

Well, now it is irrelevant. And for some reason the playoffs page seems to link the stadium every time in the game boxes, and not worry about WP:OVERLINK. Jdavi333 (talk) 13:52, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Separate Page For NO-CHI Game

[edit]

Do any of the other frequent editors think that this game does not deserve it's own article? 2021 NFC Wild Card game (Chicago–New Orleans) was created after Sunday's game, but I see absolutely nothing notable about the game, except for the fact that it was broadcast on Nickelodeon. Games like the Mile High Miracle, Music City Miracle, and The Immaculate Reception deserve their own pages, among other historically great NFL games. This does not.

Bucs-Packers

[edit]

"Two plays later on 3rd and 4, after Brady's pass missed his intended target and he whined to the officials, "

This does not sound neutral. It sounds like a salty Packers fan wrote the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:9000:F108:7DDD:C8FC:1D1A:2558:EB52 (talk) 01:03, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Balrimore-Tennessee Score

[edit]

Why is the Baltimore-Tennessee score listed as 10000000000 to 14? 21:45, 6 February 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.114.152.124 (talk) Why was the preceding comment listed as unsigned? I merely only signed the timestamp. 98.114.152.124 (talk) 21:50, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was listed that way because someone vandalized Template:2020–21 NFL playoffs. Someone else restored it so it's fine now. When leaving comments you should sign them with four tildes that way a signature is added. Sudonymous (talk) 21:52, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A signature can be added with 5 tildes, leaving only the timestamp. 98.114.152.124 (talk) 22:36, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You shouldn't sign things with just a timestamp. People should know who has written a comment, not just when it was left. – PeeJay 12:16, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
