Sucks for them.

I can never feel too bad for a team missing the playoffs when they aren't even one of the two best in the division. That being said I definitely think the Cardinals are a better team than the Bears.
If you truly wanted just the best teams in the playoffs you could abolish divisions and just have a 1-6 seeding based on record. But that takes some of the fun out of the divisional races. |

I don't really know the answer to this one because expanding the playoffs just dilutes the talent it takes to make it. I'm definitely not for expanding the playoff field.

New England went 11-5 and got left out.
That's probably the worst. |

espn from 2008
Era of two conferences, 16-game season and 12 playoff teams) Ideally, playoff systems separate the wheat from the chaff. The more teams that are included, however, the more likely it is that some chaff will sneak in there. Conversely, the less likely it is that any wheat will be omitted. You know that bubble you always hear about when it comes time to pick the teams for the NCAA basketball tournament? The NFL pretty much eliminated its bubble in '92 when it started inviting 12 teams to the playoffs. Since then, only three teams with double-figure win totals have not made the playoffs. The 2003 Dolphins, 2005 Chiefs and 2007 Browns all went 10-6 but were aced out of the postseason by the presence of better teams in their divisions and better wild-card entries. Of the three, the '07 Browns barely outscored their opponents and went 1-3 against playoff-bound teams, while the '03 Dolphins were 2-4 versus playoff-bound teams. The '05 Chiefs had the best point differential and went 3-2 against playoff-bound teams. That list will grow by at least one and possibly by as many as three teams this season. The Patriots, Dolphins and Ravens already have 10 wins each, and either one or two of them won't make the playoffs, depending on whether the Jets beat or lose to Miami. In the NFC, the Bucs could win 10 games and be denied the wild card, while the Bears could go 10-6 and not win the North Division. maybe this is better http://bleacherreport.com/articles/5...n-the-playoffs

That was the worst.....when Seattle went 7-9, got a home game and won. All because they played in a crap division that year.

I'm fine with it the way it is. The current format emphasizes divisional rivalries, which I like a lot. Don't dilute that.
The only thing I'll say is that I kind of wish they're re-seed in the playoffs based on record. We're a good example of this - seems silly that we'll (likely) be going in as the 5 seed. |
