Potential changes to playoff seeding


Recommended Posts

Popping in for my now weekly visit to the Huddle instead of daily. I'm all for new seeding. Divisions are pointless and silly. They're based on geography. Winning a "grouping of area teams" shouldn't mean you get to make the Playoffs. The best teams need to make the Playoffs. Period. Not a fan of re-seeding after the first round though.

Also have no issues with the tush push. Man up and figure out how to stop it.

Like that NFL players will get to play for their home country, or the USA in the Olympics even if flag football is silly. One player per team per country ... plus one designated "international" player per team can play for his home country as well.

Competitiveness in divisions change. 10-15 years ago it was Cam, Brees, and Ryan in the NFCS. I can remember when the NFC West was laughable. It changes.

Divisions matter. If you want to go to the playoffs, win your division, you play 90% of the same opponents. 
 

If you get rid of the division winners mattering then just break up the divisions and let the whole conference play each other.

Gotta keep the division winners in the playoffs. If not, just do away with Conferences while you're at it.

I don't think the tush push should be banned. Maybe allow defenses to do the same. It CAN be stopped. As long as the defense can play by the same rules.

yeah, as the it currently stands....it's bologna.  If you don't want to ban it then you got to tweak the rules surrounding it.

    • I did not want to start or even think about *if* BY reverts back to pre-non last 9 games.   There is a lane in which Panthers are looking QB after this season, I feel its higher than most will realize. I mean....not kidding... has any team ever traded up to 1st overall twice in the teams history? I don't even want to think within 3 years, just foresee Tepper squeezing Dans and Brandts sacs to the point were they are forced to trade up for a another savior.....   The kicker is I feel this way with BY playing good-great..... I think there with be non-fixable problems for contract negotiations between BY&reps vs Panthers org on the whole. You can not pay 50+ million per over few years with 70% guarantees for 3,303 yards 15 TDs and 9 INTs......Cursed I tell you....
    • It's not surprising, but it's still surprising that many of these guys don't manage their money in such a way that provides them and their families a better lifestyle than most for the rest of their lives without even working a nine-to-five. I can't imagine making over a 100 mil for a decade and ultimately ruminating about supporting my family due to financial issues.
    • That why i mentioned the KC dynasty. Those three different playoff loses were not Allens fault, in fact 1-2 plays and Bills win. KC just have better players and better coaches and more luck.  Defense-wise, Bills have been trying to crack the Reid-Halhomes magic. Its near impossible with rules and KC home field advantage. Spags has started to force the league in naming him the best DC in NFL history. I agree if you take away Bill bielacheat.... Add in Andy Reid the best QB coach and brilliant play designer/play-caller, I mean that's too much for one QB to over-come on his own.  Just trolling or not, bad is bad scot. Allen is legit as any one QB has ever been.
