If they do this, then divisions should be done away with as well, since winning one will be insignificant.
its not insignificant, your guaranteed a spot in the playoffs but it shouldnt guarantee a home game

Or you can just take the top 6 seeds in a division-less conference. If winning your division no longer gets you a home game, what's the point when you'll get the exact same effect with conferences void of divisions.
Shoulda BEEN done. It's crazy that an 8 win GB team is about to host a 12 win team in -5 weather.

@mastermind we did it (almost)

About time. Just do the top 7 in each confrence - 14 teams by record. You don't win 10 games, no playoffs. No more weak division getaways.
Thats fine too. To your point though you have some teams that wouldn't even be in the playoffs if it wasn't for winning their division so it wouldn't be the same.I am with everything but adding a team. The current set up with all at-large entrants would be perfect.

I agree but more teams, more money.

NFL parity is a sham anyway though. It's created mediocre teams, and the one off playoff system gives the illusion anyone has a chance. A best of 5 series, and the same teams would win just like the MLB and NBA.
Take the top 18 teams, no conferences
Fans should vote every week to pick which teams face which and at what time on Sunday
GOOD. The Cardinals should have been in it. It's about damn time. 
Its not really a sham. Its inherent, there's no way the NFL can do a "best of" any series
100% agree. I personally just prefer the current set up. If it would take the addition of more teams to cut the division sham out then I'd be willing to make that exchange.
