NFC South's sorry season revives playoff-seeding conversation - NFL.com

I am fine with it the way it is... You can't penalize a team for winning their division.

You want to host a play off game you win your division.

I don't think it penalizes anyone, it just rewards good teams.

Personally I would like to see divisions go away all together. You play all 16 teams in the conference once and the top 6 teams make it in.

This isn't new... you dont remember getting beat by the hawks in 2010?

People/writers complained about it then as well. The fact is most posters on this board are bias right now because it benefits us, but in 2010 the shoe was on the other foot and this board was on the other band-wagon.

Stay consistent people.

Exactly. If you're going to have divisions in a league, you have to have a reward for winning your division, ie guaranteed playoff birth, host first round, et...

The divisions are there to promote regional interest & rivalries. Deal with it NFL!

If that happens the next cry will be the top 6 records. Start down this road will ruin the nfl. It takes away the division rivalry. Imho

So what happens when we win the Superbowl with a losing record? Will global panic ensue?

nah- it will be like a double elimination tournament where the team coming in to the finals with one loss has to win twice
