Wholeheartedly disagree.  Some divisions pull extremely tough schedules each year.  Some divisions are also competitive and split games.  

The Patriots get 6 free games every single year because their division is a complete laughing stock.  Too many factors involved to make blanket changes due to an anomalous season here and there.  The division system breeds rivalry which makes sports far more entertaining.

I think the league wants some sense of parity with playoff hopes.  Otherwise, without divisions, the playoff lineup would be set a few weeks earlier in the season and I would imagine the negative impact on attendance, TV viewership, etc. if we all knew just over half way in the season that teams were already eliminated.

      They will be if they extend Young but I don't think we're there just yet. Morgan and Canales are tied and I don't believe Tepper is going to go look for a new front office for Bryce as things stand.

      I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

      This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
