Sucks for them.
I remember the Chiefs going 10-6 and getting left out. |

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.

Then making it the next year in a miracle with a 9-7 record and a much worse team.

I don't remember a year in which a team that misses the playoffs has a better record than 2 division champions. Even the Matt Cassel 11-5 2008 Patriots would have only won one other division.

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. |
