What do you guys think of the playoff re-seeding?

[NoNonsenseCoach]

I hope it goes through. I love the idea, and it will make week 17 worth watching when you team has a good year. Also gives homefield to the team that earned it.

do you have an article or link to what your talking about??

It is a good idea IMO. The Giants were obviously better then TB, yet they were on the read. It worked for the NBA, and it will work for the NFL.

My bad. there's one

Keep it the same

I like how the better record gets homefield but I think every division should be repped in the playoffs. If that happens I like the move.

[Leo Fender]

I agree. Every division should be represented but apart from the top tow seeds it is a good idea to give the home field to those who earned it.

It shouldn't be changed. You don't want to de-emphasize winning the division (or intra-division games), which should be every team's first goal.

You could also have a situation where a wildcard team is guaranteed a #3 or #4 spot ahead of a division winner, and therefore doesn't try as hard to win their own division.

That's possible, but it happens far more often that a team locks up a weak division and tanks it the last 2 weeks. Just on the numbers it is harder to have this work the other way around, and would only happen with a 11-4 wildcard and 9-6 div winner going into week 17.

It's bull****, when you play in the AFC North and you have to play against 2 conferences that have no team with losing records.

[Matt McGuire]

Yeah but look at the NFC East...brutal division man.

[Joey_Potter]

Im torn. Reward a team for a great season or reward a team for fighting through their division. Kind of makes Division Championships worthless doesnt it?

[Matt McGuire]

I don't think so because you still get to go to the playoffs...if you weren't guaranteed a playoff spot for winning the division I would be against it

[Leo Fender]

Wrong thread?

Got nothing on the AFC West.
