NFC playoffs
NFC playoffs
Could the Eagles or Dallas finish at 11-5 and one of them NOT make the playoffs in the NFC ? Meanwhile New Orleans could win the NFC south with a losing record of say 7-9 and make the playoffs. Should the NFL overhaul it's playoff format ? ......... Eagle and Boy's fans will be pissed off if the team goes 11-5 and doesn't even make the playoffs !

It doesn't matter Seattle is gonna win it all again.
Re: NFC playoffs
See the AFC east for 2008. In that year, an 11-5 team did not make the playoffs either. No one changed the format after that.Atomic1 wrote:Could the Eagles or Dallas finish at 11-5 and one of them NOT make the playoffs in the NFC ?

In the NFL there are already 2 wildcard ( and 4 division) playoff teams in each conference... do we really need more spots? are we now going to have a div champ and runner up in each div for a ttl of 8 teams to add that proposed " extra" game? it always sux when a .500 or less team gets to host a playoff game but it happens...sometimes while a much better team in another division watches on tv...

Re: NFC playoffs
They should change it that so even if a team wins their division that they shouldn't host a 1st round game against a team with a better record.Atomic1 wrote:Could the Eagles or Dallas finish at 11-5 and one of them NOT make the playoffs in the NFC ?

That would probably never fly but not much can really be done.
Beware of fools & trolls here, they lurk everywhere.

Re: NFC playoffs
Everyone should make the playoffs. It's not fair otherwise. In fact, everyone should get a trophy at the end of the season, so their feelings aren't hurt.

Re: NFC playoffs
So ... advocating an NHL format for the NFL ?
Even with 64 teams in NCAA hoops, someone gets the 'horn'.
Playing well during the regular season is meaningful.
8-8 seasons and a Super Bowl title are quite rare
