Great now we get to see 6-10 teams make the playoffs. Way to water down the product NFL!

No basis in reality.

Here are the teams that would have been in over the past few years (and teams that got in over teams with a better record)

2019 Steelers 8-8, Rams 9-7

2018 Steelers 9-6-1 Vikings 8-7-1

2017 Ravens 9-7 Lions 9-7

2016 Titans 9-7 Bucs 9-7

2015 Jets 10-6 Falcons 8-8 (Texans in at 9-7)

2014 Chiefs 9-7 49ers 8-8 (Panthers in at 7-8-1)

2013 Ravens 8-8 Cardinals 10-6 (packers  in at 8-7-1)

2012 Steelers 8-8 Bears 10-6

2011 Titans 9-7 Bears 8-8 (Broncos in at 8-8)

2010 Chargers 9-7 Giants 10-6 (Seahawks in at 7-9)

Thats a nice list of sh*tty teams that don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

There's just no point.  Those outliers would have absolutely no chance of making it to the super bowl anyway.  We almost always know the teams that are going to be the contenders by week 8 every year.  There are a few surprises here and there but the seasons play out quite predictably.  Adding a third wildcard is pointless.  That team would get destroyed

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
