We have teams that get hot late in the season winning championships despite a fairly mediocre season on a fairly consistent basis.
Ok but some of those might be the best team but for whatever reason (injuries) they may have struggled early in the season but came on towards the end of the season.

I'm aware of that.

But regardless of the reason for that mediocrity, teams should not be rewarded for it.

8 teams would be ideal.

Unfortunately, crappy teams can win crappy divisions.

So I'd give a little and add a wild card in each conference.

We will respectfully agree to disagree. I think it is perfect as it is.

Wouldn't that take at least one of the SB's away from the Giants?

Yes, and the Packers, as well.

Don't care.

I wonder how many wild cards have won it all.

So basicly you like the idea of division winners only. This would probably do away with a bye week for any playoff team.

It is also punishing teams that play in good divisions. Where the 2cd place team in a division could have a 10-6 or 11-5 record and stay at home while a team that is 7-9 or 8-8, definition of mediocrity, gets in as usual.
That seems a little harsh, understandable but nonetheless harsh.

This is why, under the current setup, I'd allow for a wild card in each conference, even though I think 8 is the actual ideal number of playoff teams.

Just award every team a super bowl ring at the end of the year so no feelings are hurt and everyone is treated equally and fairly.
