I'm pretty sure we'll be the fifth seed no matter what but could be wrong. Even if we were the sixth seed, KC doesn't seem like a bad matchup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that you get to be in the playoffs. That's how the NBA sees things (having realized the problems with division winner seeding priority twice now), and that's how the NFL should see things.

That's how the NBA sees things (having realized the problems with division winner seeding priority twice now), and that's how the NFL should see things. 16 teams making the playoffs playing best of series is not single elimination. They also play 82 games or whatever so they play everyone. Maybe having a stipulation for if the division winner is 2 games below a wildcard team or something. But since everyone plays a different schedule it’s impossible to do it any other way than the current. The reason I don’t like not giving a division winner homefield for one game is they outlasted the teams in their division. That might be everyone is 3-3 and then they play a division on the other side that all are above 9 wins. So in your world a team that plays 14 games of teams under .500 gets a homefield over the one that grinds out 9 tough wins?? Get rid of divisions then and just play 15 conference games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills v. Fins is for division or 6th place for the Fins. Bills need a W or help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divisions make a lot of money for the NFL considering all the rivalries that come from them. Besides, two interesting scenarios could come from my proposal. 1. The top two seeds come from the same division, and meet in thc conference title game, setting up the biggest game in the history of that division rivalry. 2. A division winner is so weak it is saddled with the 7 seed, yet they go on to win the Super Bowl without ever having a chance at a home playoff game. Wouldn't that make a great Cinderella story?

We didn't play Stroud last time, and it's really hard to beat a team twice in the NFL. I could easily see a scenario where we rest our starters in week 18, Houston beats Indy and the Jags choke against the Titans. Then we lose all our momentum and Houston beats us in front of the home crowd. Houston is starting a rookie QB with Nico Collins as their best WR and a meh OL and meh defense. It doesn’t get much easier in the playoffs, everyone is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggieCamp Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 AFC South is a guarantee for us now in the 1st round. If Jax wins, we play them. If Jax loses, we play the winner of Houston and Indy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDD Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Sounds like if you are in Cleveland you get that game on NBC. Being in Toledo means I would have to get Peacock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas5737 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I'm surprised they let us say Peacock. I wonder if we misspelled it Peecock if that is also okay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
