Should the NFL change its seeding for the playoffs?

it was my way of saying that I like the chance of making the playoffs at 5-6!!! Change the rules and that hope is gone!!!

In seriousness, I do like the way it is though.

Obviously you like it the way it is, your team plays in the junior circuit. The division winner may have a 8-8 record, wow what a power division. The only division I can think of that's worse is the 1989 AFC Central(Bengals,Steelers,Browns,Oilers)

I'm sure after a season worth of playing poor competition the NFCW winner will be quite battle tested for the playoffs.

It works both ways. A crappy team from the NFC West will get in this year. But what if the Eagles were in the NFC West and not San Fran for example. That'd more than likely net them 6 wins over St. Louis, Seattle, and Arizona, thus inflating their record and giving them a shot at homefield throughout the Playoffs. Just don't give division winners home field if their record is worse than the team they're lined up to play.

    • We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.
    • I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.
    • Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
