I gotta feeling there will be a lot of non-calls by the refs, they'll want to keep that clock moving.

I could definitely see that, also I'd imagine challenges might not happen as well

Referee - Incomplete pass

Asst Coach - I believe he caught that, we should challenge

Coach - Fuck that, it's goddamn -1 out here, keep the clock running.

The losing team will be able to bitch about the non-calls for the next several weeks.

well thats how the nfl views it and lets face facts all 32 teams is the nfl's product and thats how they are judging this

Here is an interesting stat to consider: 8 of 12 teams in the playoffs had the least yards allowed; but 11 of 12 had least points scored against. I understand that that some of the points allowed are not the D's fault. Here are the numbers:

Yards allowed:
Rank Team Yards
1 Denver Broncos 283.1
2 Seattle Seahawks 291.8
3 Houston Texans 310.2
5 Arizona Cardinals 321.7
6 Carolina Panthers 322.9
7 Kansas City Chiefs 329.3
9 New England Patriots 339.4
11 Cincinnati Bengals 340.8
13 Minnesota Vikings 344.2
15 Green Bay Packers 346.7
21 Pittsburgh Steelers 363.1
28 Washington Redskins 380.6

Points allowed:
NFL Rank Team Points
1 Seattle Seahawks 277
2 Cincinnati Bengals 279
3 Kansas City Chiefs 287
4 Denver Broncos 296
5 Minnesota Vikings 302
6 Carolina Panthers 308
7 Arizona Cardinals 313
8 Houston Texans 313
10 New England Patriots 315
11 Pittsburgh Steelers 319
12 Green Bay Packers 323
18 Washington Redskins 379

Nah, AZ put up 39. Pitt's 30 in a loss, however, has got to be the most in multiple years (at least 4) at Century Link (by an opposing team).

It doesnt seam like your ok with #2 .. denver won a first week bye cause their defense was the #1 D .. you dont think that their D had anything to do with their wins ?.. kudos to them

Of course their D had a lot to do with them winning 12 games. But, truth be told, the Broncos record flatters to deceive. Being 12-4 but only +59 in scoring differential suggests that they won a lot of really close games. Teams that rely on winning really close games usually don't go deep in the playoffs. Pythagorean win expectation would have them as a 9-10 team.

If you look historically, the teams that make the Super Bowl are almost ALWAYS in the top 5 in scoring differential. 2011 is the big notable exception. The Giants won the Super Bowl despite a -6 scoring differential.
