      absolutly right who ever wins the east is not only getting a home field playoff game but their also getting a free pass into the playoffs ahead of 2 possibly 3 other teams with better records. . whoever wins the east may actually be the 8th or 9th seed depending on how things play out. . so getting the free pass to the playoffs should be enough of a reward for winning the division. . but the owners will never allow it to change. . getting the freepass homegame gets money in their pocket. . if all you hafta to do to get a home game is win a division that mean every year you have a 1 in 4 chance of hosting a home playoff game regardless of record and gettin that fat check for it. . the money makes the decisions in this case

If the Eagles or Cowboys win the division at 8-8 why do they deserve to host a playoff game(which matters) vs a 49ers or Seahawks team that went 13-3? You are rewarding a team for being average just because they were in a certain division and punishing a team for being dominant but because they are in the same division as the #1 seed they get dropped to #5 and play all their games on the road. That makes no sense to me. If it were up to me if you win your division you get in but after that you should be seeded according to record. This year the NFC East should be seeded #6 but they will get #4 and a home playoff game. That doesn't seem right to me.

      And to flip your point around, the Cowboys know that they only need to stay ahead of the Eagles and they will be guaranteed the 4th seed regardless of how many teams from other divisions have better records, which means they don’t care if they lose (again) to the Rams, because they only need to beat the Eagles next week!

  • @Zalis116
    @Zalis116 4 년 전 +1

    I like the system as it is, despite its imperfections. As they said, it keeps the divisions unique and helps their storied rivalries maintain relevance. These cases of wild card teams being far-and-away better than #4 seeds are outliers; there hasn't been a 13-3 wild card since the '99 Titans, and that team managed to do pretty well for itself. Most of the time, the #5 and #6 seeds are around 10-6/9-7 Both of the post-2002 losing-record division winners, the 7-9 '10 Seahawks and the 7-8-1 '14 Panthers, won their first-round games. As did the 8-8 '08 Chargers and the 8-8 '11 Broncos.
    And when it comes to luck of the draw, consider whom the NFC West and the 49ers/Seahawks have played this year. They each got two games against the Cardinals, who aren't abjectly awful but are starting a rookie QB and on their 2nd head coach in 2 years. They played the NFC South, which has been so bad that the one over-.500 team in it clinched the division in Week 13. They played the AFC North, which features an abysmal Bengals team, the overhyped and underwhelming Browns, a Steelers team on their 3rd QB and missing several key contributors, and the actually-good Ravens. And for their placement-based games, SF got Washington and a sometimes-shaky GB, while SEA got the injury-ravaged Eagles and a primetime matchup with Kirk "Mr. 1:00 PM ET" Cousins' Vikings.
    So while one could say that the #5 seed got a bad break because of the division they play in, it can also be said that the division they play in contributed to them having so many wins in the first place. And if SF-SEA winds up being the Week 17 SNF game, it'll mark the first time that a top-2 seed has ever been on the line in the final game of the season.

I bet you both Giants and Bucs teams from 2010 season that both went 10 - 6 and missed playoffs which they could of been in Saints situation when they were 12 - 4 and went to Seattle but lost to a 7 - 9 Seahawks team. No way with a far better record should it be a problem beating a 7 - 9 team. And before saying it was on the road just remember that same year my Packers were 10 - 6 and won all 3 road games and then the Superbowl.

      Upsets happen in win or go home games, especially when the home team is the underdog, but this is about not rewarding mediocrity, or even slightly worse than mediocrity, because records don’t mean that much once you’re in, but you should have to do something to have the chance.

    If you switch to the side of the team with a better record, then people will come up with. Oh, this record is just because they played vs. worse teams.
    Just imagine Buffalo would host Houston now (it would not be the case right now). But Buffalo got wins because they play MIA, NYJ and the NFC East. They have no win vs. teams that are above .500 now. Houston meanwhile has beaten last years AFC CC teams, lost badly to BAL (OK) but overall have the tougher schedule, playing also NO.
    So then all of a sudden, teams would get home field advantage because of the soft schedule. It´s an endless circle.
