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

      Yup. Hopefully  Brandon adds some muscle this off-season but he'll probably be resting his shoulder for a while so I doubt it. Miles should probably be replaced but I don't think we find a better 4th option to be honest. So is it better to add depth along side williams and Coby or try to upgrade the 4/5 . I think adding depth will probably be more beneficial than trying to upgrade starters and bank on Brandon and Kons continuing development. I really don't think they are going to make the playoffs unfortunately. I think the big hole they put themselves in has exhausted them. They've been amazing since January 1 but I think it's come at a cost and their legs are gone.

      Is AJ Dillon just a camp body?

      The issue is the predictability of it all in a Bryce Young led offense. In 4th down attempts the Jets were at 41 and we were at 40. And we were 4th in conversation %. We were 25th in the league in 3rd down conversion because we faced so many 3rd and longs in part due to playcalling on 1st and 2nd down but more largely due to the limitations that cannot be overcome.  And people want us to spend another 1st rounder on WR as if it is going to magically give Bryce physical talent he will never possess. It's a shame we cut off our own nose just to put ourselves in this frustrating predicament.
