How is the NFL playoff TV schedule determined?
For the Wild Card round of the playoffs NBC gets to pick their games first. They have the two games on Saturday. They will pick one AFC game and one NFC game and determine the time slot the two games will be played. CBS and Fox are left with the two remaining games on Sunday. CBS gets the AFC game and Fox the NFC. Should look like this: based on the standings and current scores of the games being played (late third quarter of the late games week 17) NBC early - New York Jets @ Indianapolis Colts NBC late - New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles NBC will have to decide if Manning or Vick should be in prime time. Fox Sunday - New Orleans Saints @ winner of Rams vs. Seahawks CBS Sunday - Baltimore Ravens @ Kansas City Chiefs

What year was the bye week put between the championship games and the Super Bowl?
In 2002. This was because 9/11 made the NFL reschedule everything and now they just use the bye.
If the ball is lobbed deep over the net person, then it is the other players job to return the ball, especially if they are in a double-net formation. if it is a shallow lob, either person can return it, it is all up to the communication of the players and their preferences
Are the NFL playoff times all posted as EST?
Yes, in the Eastern Time Zone, AFC Championship Game is scheduled for 3:00pm EST (on CBS) and the NFC Championship Game is scheduled for 6:30pm EST (on FOX). The NFC kickoff is scheduled for 6:40pm EST. I haven't seen a kickoff time for the AFC game but it should be shortly after 3:00pm. The networks could adjust the times slightly to avoid an overlap of games (overtime in AFC game).
Check your local listings if you are not in the Eastern Time Zone.
