Yes, it’s a terrible system that has greatly benefitted NewEngland* over the years. The East has been a joke with no other good QBs to compete against ,providing an easy path to a bye. Hopefully the Pats will get knocked out of it and football fans everywhere can rejoice!

Two ways to look at it:

 

1) You have a set of rules, set before a season begins, about playoff eligibility and seeding agreed to by all teams. The rules on occasion result in a perceived inequity with an 8-8 getting in while an 11-5 doesn’t. But teams sometimes play only hard enough to win their division, or coast once they are in. Fortunately this happens rarely.

 

That’s life in all areas, if the inequity becomes too pervasive then you hopefully have a mechanism to peacefully alter the rules, and quite often an organization benefits from such amendments.

 

Other unfair rules, raised after the fact, include the Electoral College, or the process of negotiating your salary and deadwood or incompetent people making more than good workers.

 

2) WHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

I get that their failure to win the division should put them on the road.

 

BUT

 

Chargers/Ravens should be the Saturday Night Game at 8 p.m.  That way it will feel at least like 5 p.m. for Chargers players.

 

With it being at 1 p.m.  that’s like playing at 10 a.m. for them.

 

Although it hasn’t slowed Chargers down the last few times they have visited Buffalo.

 

but for a playoff game I woudl think it should be more balanced.

This is bull. The Chargers have a better record than the Ravens. Is it their fault that they are in the same division with the Chiefs? They would have won any of the other 3 divisions. The Ravens won their division at 10-6 which is obviously weaker. Division winners should be guaranteed a playoff spot but seeding should still go by record

Nah, this is the same old whinnage from years back.  Win your division, bottom line.  The format in the NFL has been like this for a long time.  Only time it really sucks is when teams go to the playoff's with a 7-9 record lol@seattleiirc.

But that's my point, why should a 12-4 team that just happened to play in a much better division have to travel to play an 8-8 or 7-9 team that won a crappy division? It's not right and needs to be fixed.

The NBA changed to seed by record a few years ago when Dallas did not get the 2 seed in the conference.

How is that bad? That was in 2010 when the Seahawks won their division at 7-9, but went on to beat New Orelans in the famous Beast Quake game:
