It's also kind of BS that a team could finish with the best record in the league, lose the division by tiebreaker, and then be the 5th seed without a home game. Not as bad as being left out completely, but still kinda sucks.

Well it's 30-20 after a failed two pointer now. I think we're under five minutes now though? My feed is breaking up.

It would be really, really complicated to change it. Even simply adding teams is troublesome because you have to manage bye weeks and juggle it around.

This playoff system is necessary. There are 8 divisions in the NFL. Each team only plays 3. There's no way to compare two teams side-to-side unless the division winner represents.

They kinda control their own destiny. If they win the next 2, then they're in. At that point wouldn't they hold the tie breaker over the 49ers? Their last 2 games are tough. But if they win, they're in I believe.

The system is about as good as it can get. After all, each team in a division plays 14 common opponents - that's 14 of their 16 total games, including games vs. each other. How much more fair could you make it?

It's a result of the wild card teams being really good.

Not much. You can only do so much with the schedule because of stadium usage issues and it's just plain complicated. I'd like to see them go with three of your first eight games divisional, a universal bye week ending with the trade deadline, then three of your last eight games divisional.

Not exactly. They have the tiebreaker on Carolina, but won't have the tiebreaker over San Fran. However, the Saints lost today and now have to go to Carolina... they might very well drop into the WC spot, and New Orleans already beat Arizona. Saints may have screwed them by losing to the Rams today.
