Probably good question for Any Sport. But right now I'm Talking NFL...

Saints ... Falcons or Panthers WILL be taking away a spot from a Winning record Team.

Thoughts ??

The problem is they recognize divisions and schedule 2 games against each divisional opponent. ...So under that format you have to honor division champs regardless of record.

If they want to only allow winning teams in the playoffs than they should just schedule 16 games against 16 different opponents and do away with divisions. ....My guess is that wouldnt fly.

...So just keep it like it is and pull for the falcons or panthers.

Home field advantage should be record wise and not division. No way should they have a home game.

The problem is 4 team divisions. That's not a large enough group to basically assure of at least 1 team being good.
You need at least 5 teams per division. The more teams that are in a division the higher odds that at least 1 team in the division will be good.

Will have to pull off the most Monumental upset against Seattle. You may have to eat two sundae's prior to that game. I believe they beat Arizona with ease first round.

No.. Hate when people overreact to something that happens once a decade.
yea just 3 years ago people were crying to realign because the NFC west was so bad.
3 years later they are the best division in football
