They left themselves an out with this "all three elements must be present" crap, so they can always say "in our judgment, element #3 (or whatever) wasn't present...."
And with our various assorted injuries, brain-farts and random bad losses, it's still been a struggle. So excuse me for not being happy that that trend is reversing and the road is getting even harder.
Screw sweetness. I want the #1 seed and to win a SB. Hard to get that when other division winners have a cake-walk every year and we get a tougher division schedule.
But I think sometimes they go too far the other way. No matter how big and strong you are, getting smacked in the head is still bad, and having a 300lb guy drop his full weight onto your legs/ankles is still bad.
