Potential changes to playoff seeding

I like it. Winning your division should get you an automatic bid but not an automatic home playoff game. That's just too much IMO. You shouldn't be rewarded that much for being the best team in a bad division nor punished for being the second (or even third) best team in a better division.

Leave things alone. This is like the OT rule change to make it "fair" but all it did was make it unfair because the team that gets the ball 2nd can just go for all 4th downs if need be.

Change for change will always have consequences that may not have been thought of.

Winning ur Div should mean something. You are a champion so u should get a home game.

Booo ..... what is the point of a Div If they don't mean anything 

Win your div then u don't have anything to worry about

It still means something. You're still in the playoffs. But having teams with losing records host playoff games is dumb and it's happened three times since 2010. We were one of them. Automatic bid? Sure. Automatic home playoff game? Ridiculous.

I'm not sure I see how re-seeding after the first round is necessary, but I'm all for doing seedings based purely off record.

Of course, that does very little to address the issue of strength of schedule. Plenty of teams end up with more wins than they otherwise would because they don't play as many good teams.

I guess with this type of mindset we'd still have slavery. LOL 

Realistically, there's been a pretty solid poo storm every year a losing team hosts a playoff game because it's bullshit. Give 'em an automatic bid, but yeah reward the actual better teams.

I find it funny how people get triggered by literally any change. I guess y'all wanna watch football played in leather helmets where the forward pass is illegal and the goalposts is in the middle of the end zone clotheslining players. 

Not all change is necessarily good but crying about the best bad team in a trash division not automatically hosting a playoff game is a pretty hilarious thing to raise hell about.

Against it.  I get that some teams have an advantage because they are in a bad division but some teams have an advantage because they end up with a really weak strength of schedule (or end up facing teams w/ injured players or resting players for the playoffs).  Let's face it, NFL teams fluctuate a lot from year to year and we won't know the strength of the schedule played until the end of the season. Why should second place in the NFC East trump first place in the NFC South if the East team had an overall easier schedule?

Slavery was WRONG on so many levels, how that comparison works who knows

Weather ur team that is still in the playoffs gets a home game is no where near that lvl

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Adios and good night, done talking about what we should have done but it’s weird when anti-tankers try and get back on the high horse.

      Yes. Fitt said he liked Young for two years. He hitched his wagon to him. Reich and Young were going 2-15, nothing I said we should get would have saved him. A new coach plus Tepper (and Morgan) would have wanted the draft assets we kept or got to be used by a better GM/Coach. SMH, you need to read my post and your own again. You said: “So we should have sold off all of our talent and what?” I was being sarcastic that they still were in the roster because the guys you are saying we shouldn’t have sold off got sold off anyway but instead of getting full value, we got scraps. We had an opportunity to sell at the highs and instead we let the stocks lose 50-75% and then sold them. Because we didn’t tank in 2022 when the Rams basically handed the idea to us, we either set the team back several years to where we won’t do anything and will be back at the drawing board or kept enough talent off the team that we may make the playoffs but we still won’t be a top team like an extra handful of 1st rounders could have gotten us.
