Re: More cries for reseeding
 

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.

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

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.

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

where was the crying when we had to take our 11 wins to Seattle?

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

It was there.

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

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!

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

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

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

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

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

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

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

Even though the South is horrible this season the NFL playoff structure is
in the books. However knowing RG it will become a major talking point despite the outcome if one of the teams does move on.

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

The world will end!

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

like everyone said, dump the division and go conferences. Then they will be screaming when they are on the short end of the stick with that set up. So shut up already.

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

Make it more like the Premier League, 'relegate' teams and watch the interest in the NFL wane. I think it works for the PL because fans are more loyal to their local teams, but don't think it would carry over to the NFL. The system they have now was developed to create more interest in the game with the type of fan you have in the US and put more teams into the postseason. You can't change it just 'cuz it doesn't work out the way you planned one year, :rolleyes:.

Actually, I'm kinda' looking forward to the Cowgurlz sittin' at home with an 11-5 record or better, :rofl:.

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

yeah, I can't stand cowboys fans!. Yeah those cats over the soccer are crazy enthusiast.

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

Keep divisions for qualifying, but use overall record for home field advantage

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

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.

Another one in, of all places, Forbes magazine:

The NFL Playoffs And Its Unfairness Doctrine - Forbes

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

oh boy we adopted the pansy overtime system college so why not adopt a panel to decide who makes it in based on strength of scheduled at the end of the season too.

go one more step and make power division and pansy division. pansy play for pansy championship. then all the fans are happy.

thus is stupid

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

Next will be the call for a (S)BCS. Tom Jackson, Chris Berman, Peter King, Bob Costas, Chris Collinsworth et al can vote to determine the top 12 teams that should make the playoffs based on how they feel about the way the teams are playing.

Or we could just use RealClearSports' powering ranking averages and just call in a day and hand the Lombardi to the #1 after week 17.

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

Way back, many used to say the Saints was the best team not making the play-offs.
So I have no probs if we somehow make it to the play-offs this term.

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

Let Roger fix it..........he's good at fixing things.:clown:

Re: More cries for reseeding
 

if they are that good then they should hit the road and give the other teams a shot. we are talking about making this fair right.
lets not just go half way. lets go all the way.
worse teams get home field.
