How can you be against expanding the playoffs after these stats..

[PantherTrain84]

2011- Titans; 9-7

2010- Chargers 9-7, Giants 10-6, Bucs 10-6

2009- Texans 9-7, Falcons 9-7

2008- Patriots 11-5, Jets 9-7, Bucs 9-7, Cowboys 9-7, Bears 9-7.

2007- Browns 10-6

NONE of those teams made the playoffs. I say it should be expanded to 14 teams, not 16 because that would be too excessive. But how is it fair the 9-7 Giants can win the SB, or the 10-6 Packers but the 9-7 Titans, Chargers, Texans and Falcons along with the 11-5 Patriots not even making the playoffs?

Here is what I propose. Add one more playoff week. Before the wild card week even begins have a game the week before with the last place NFC playoff team VS the last place AFC playoff team. If you have a winning season, you should have a strong chance of making the playoffs.

It would be interesting

For us we probably wouldn't do poo anyway cause towards the end injuries just pile up for us. I'm sick of that poo man

Because the playoffs should be hard to get to, and only the absolute best should be there.

I'd rather have good teams missing out than bad teams getting in.

Seahawks getting ins with a 7-9 record a couple of years back...I don't even know where to begin.

Because I've heard of MLB.

Because you're diluting the season run AND actual playoffs by letting too many teams in.

Much better to have some good teams outside looking in when the playoffs arrive.

Hated that.

Loved that they beat the Saints though :lol:

[Fox007]

They should just have conference standings and the top X teams in the conference get in.

That way you get the top teams no matter what "division" they are in.

[megadeth078]

9-7 means you should get into the playoffs? Winning 56% of games played is good?

[beastson]

^ You're 2 games over .500

What about teams that have a better record than the division leader, but the division leader gets home-field

That poo is stupid

[Ivan The Awesome]

Very true. About the only thing I loved about it. Heheheehe.

The goal is to win the championship

There are no regular season champs

Ask the Pats

Why have a regular season then? Let's just have a round robin that lasts the entire year.
