What do you guys think of this -- instead of the Division winners automatically getting playoff seeds #1-4, it only guarantees a playoff spot.

However, an 11-5 non-division winner (say, the 49ers) gets a higher seeding than the 9-7 division winner (Eagles)?
I'd prefer not fucking up the game more because Rozelle's dream of parity has come to fruition.

They already screwed up overtime. We don't need that shit in the playoffs.

I definitely get the reasoning, but you should be rewarded for winning your division.

I want to whip out a Flair figure four today. We deserve that.

If we make the playoffs, I really really really hope we get the Lions.

Of all the possible matchups (Lions, 49ers, Cards, Panthers), that's really the only one I think we can win, but more importantly, I just want to beat that douchebag team, especially since we've literally gifted them the last 2 encounters.

I feel like our D is going to have a big day.

Lions aren't making the playoffs if they don't win the North, thus, we aren't playing them in the playoffs.

We'll get the Panthers or 49ers -- take the beatdown and like it.

Looking at some of these jersey alterations...

the NBA is going towards sleeves while the NFL is going towards tanktops

So the booth will review a 5-yard penalty at midfield, but won't review Dez Bryant's catch?

poppycock

The Lions D line is good.

That is my analysis.

Automatic playoff spot not reward enough?
No because sometimes a wild card team has a better record because they were in a division with two really shitty teams or had an overall easy schedule. There's no perfect fix so I prefer to keep it the way it is.

Feh. Give me the Cardinals.
