NFL now considering seeding playoff teams by record.

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Arizona would not have been in... this is about seeding only. I'm not going to complain though. The niners struggled at the beginning of the season because of injuries and off-field issues among other things and that's something that every team has to deal with. If the niners lose because it's -5 in Green Bay and they can't move the ball... so be it.

finally change

Honestly, i`m for this, but i`d also be okay with it staying the way it is.

But for teams who barely get into the playoffs to have advantages over team with 3-4 more wins, it is kinda corny

so based on the potential change, how would this year's seeds be looking like?

AFC
#1 Broncos (Bye)
#2 Patriots (Bye)
#3 Bengals would host #6 Chargers
#4 Colts would host #5 Chiefs

NFC
#1 Seahawks (Bye)
#2 Panthers (Bye)
#3 49ers would host #6 Packers
#4 Saints would host #5 Eagles

So tell me sir, do you prefer what you posted? Or no division and straight 1 to 6 seeding per conference?

im for the change, even tho my team is hosting a squad with a better record this weekend.

saints and panthers were playing for the 2 seed and the 5 seed in the last week of the season, if you win 11-12 games you should be hosting imo

I don't really have a problem with it staying that way it is. It does get a bit absurd when an 8-7-1 team gets to host a 12-4 team though. If they were to go ahead with this change, I would prefer to keep the divisions, as it keeps the parity. One of the best things the NFL has done in a while is make every week 17 game a divisional game.

NFC North

not sure which scenario is better

 

[Master Teacher]

49ners and Saints should've won their divisions then this wouldn't be a problem
whats the point of being the division champ if you don't get home field advantage

I hate seeing teams with meaty okur records in the playoffs

Browns BETTER draft Watkins

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

Good, Division Winners get in the playoffs and that's it. They shouldn't be awarded with a home game because they barely won a horrible division.
