Among the "multiple ways" in which the NFL has examined potential adjustments to the playoff system, spokesman Brian McCarthy said Thursday there has been discussion of letting the team with the superior record host games even if they gain entrance to the postseason as a wild card.

My solution is awesome. No conferences. Just 8 divisions. The division winners and next four teams get seeded 1-12 based on record with winning a division being the first tie breaker, division record the second. What is the point of afc Nfc anyway. Take this year,

Denver

Seattle

Carolina

New England still get byes

San Fran

Indy

Cinncy

Saints host wildcard games

Kansas city

Philly

Arizona

Green bay travel

They should have done that years ago. All 8 division winners get an automatic playoff bid. 4 wildcard teams get in. Seeding goes off of record, except ties go to division winners, no tiebreaker nonsense. 10-6 division winner gets home game over 10-6 wildcard team, etc.

Perfect.

Thats too many teams for my liking, but thats just me. Your other ideas sound just right though.

I don't think I was clear on the conference portion. It should still be four division winners from each conference with two wildcard winners from each conference. So everything stays the same as it is now, the only difference being that division winners aren't guaranteed a home game. Didn't click the link so I don't know if they said the same thing, but that's how I feel it should be. So for instance this year the 49ers and the Saints should be hosting a game, not the Eagles and the Packers. I would expand on this by saying it only applies to the wildcard round, and is null for any round after that.

      No doubt.  I was at the game watching it and it looked like a fly ball to the infield.  It got in the air and just hung up.  XL tracked it like a shortstop.

      You need to go outside and get some fresh air.

      Sorry, I don't get the "mental" thing at all. If his football IQ was as low as you say it is, then he wouldn't be out there blocking as well as he is.  It is quite possible that he's been pressing due to not really being in the flow of the game because Bryce doesn't look for him on the regular. His strength, at the moment, seems to be as a mismatch in the slot on crossers and slants in my opinion,and for whatever reason (maybe height) Bryce is more likely going to chuck it to the sidelines. So, in a sense, maybe Legette and Bryce aren't a good pairing, and that gives the appearance that Legette is not all there. Lord knows that Bryce doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride so they can maximize YAC. But anyway...all that being said, I thought that X would be more than just a possession type of guy. So we'll see where it goes from here. I'm not like some, who appear not to see the value in a guy who can kill you like that, and kill you just as well as guys that do their best work on the outside, but, X is going to have to be able to consistently hands-catch on the run and separate better at the top of the route if he really wants to unlock his potential as an all-around receiver. If Bryce could consistently and accurately hit receivers, especially in seams on the slants and crossers, it would open up Legette and the offense. Just my opinion, but I think he causes all the receivers to press to varying degrees, and causes the coaches to call plays that have built-in limitations, but I could be wrong about that.
