I have seen pros and cons of this.

One of the problems I see in the current format and it has been persistent since the Salary Cap of the mid 90s was put into place is the fact their is a 7th seed team that tends to miss the playoffs that is better than some of the ones that do make it. You can find it every year.

This year we saw Arizona finish 10-6 and miss the playoffs, what hurts so bad about this is the fact Arizona would of certainly beat Philly, Carolina, and probably Green Bay, 3 of the 6 NFC playoff teams right there. I dont know what would of happened in New Orleans, Seattle, or SF. Arizona also had the most difficult schedule as well.

So you see why theirs part of me that supports the playoff expansion.

Shall I mention the fact that the 9-7 Giants won the SB? 9-7 wouldnt of even qualified for a playoff spot this year. Their was times in the Haslett era where we missed the playoffs where I think we could of went in and upset someone, it happens every year, the AFC though.............another subject.

I personally believe the seasons rely too heavily on Strength of Schedule though. Teams like Seattle whose SOS is probably pretty down there, especially Road schedule which is where its all at, will get rewarded HFA for it, we see it every year and it decides to me unfairly who gets to play in the big game. They need to change something.
