Everyone makes the playoffs. Away All you have to do is wear your skates with the blade-side down and beat the Carolina Hurricanes a couple of times, and you're in. The order of business in the National Football League is different. Only 12 of 30 teams are invited to the post-season party. A team's first goal is to win its division and then clinch the home-field advantage for the playoffs.
Nothing is more important in pro football than the home-field advantage.
The 49ers travel to Philadelphia Monday night to battle the Eagles, who are unbeaten at home. When the Packers take the home field, they expect to win. We have not, in my opinion, played our best football yet. I can always point to our first Detroit game this year to keep them humble or the Tampa Bay game two years ago down there where we had everything to gain. I don't worry about that.
