The setup is fine.  Winning the division should mean something otherwise why have them?  

 

The loser tonight goes to LA next week.

They can set it up to where if you win your division that you are still guaranteed a playoff spot so it will still mean something. But under no circumstance should a 14 win team that just happens to have another 14 or 15 win team in their division have to travel to play a 10 win team that won a crappier division. The system is flawed and needs to be changed

After listening to other posters and knowing that they lump the AFC and NFC matchups together so that the following week they can put all AFC games on Saturday and all NFC on Sunday.

 

This is what it wildcard weekend will be. I’d bet money on it:
 

Saturday Afternoon: 6 Steelers at 3 Ravens

Saturday night: 7 Broncos at 2 Bills

Sunday early: 5 Chargers at 4 Texans

Sunday Afternoon: 6 Commanders at 3 Bucs

Sunday night: 7 Packers at 2 Eagles

Monday night: 5 Vikings or Lions at 4 Rams

I don’t think they would do two AFC games on Saturday.  Ravens-Steelers will most certainly be one of the Saturday games, I’m gonna guess Commanders at Bucs is Saturday early.

well I disagree.  The setup is fine.  I think the biggest problem is the two extra playoff teams but hey Tv Ratings.

 

and just so you know, The Rams beat the Vikings this year.

Look at the way they’ve done it in years past. They do it for a reason. All one conference early and the other conference late. They do this so that on division week they can keep it consistent with one conference getting both Saturday games and the other gets both Sunday games.

It was a problem before those 2 extra playoff teams. It always had been. I don't know how you can think it's fine. It's not. If the someone else in our division went 14-3 right now and we went 13-4 and had to travel to play the 10-7 Texans as the 5 seed next week, you're ok with that? No one should be

I'd be fine with it since those have always been the known stakes.  That is why winning the division is so important.

 

again you said the nfc west was crappy but the Rams beat the Vikings and lost to the Lions with a banged up team week 1 26-20.

 

Its not like the Rams are 7-10 and back doored in.  They are a legitimate threat to win next weekend against either team.

Just because they beat the Vikings does not mean they deserve the higher seed of the 2 in the playoffs if they have 3 less wins lol. Do you remember when the Saints who went 12-4 back in 2010 had to travel to Seattle in a hostile environment to play a 7-9 division winning Seahawks team? That was long before the extra playoff teams. In no way, should the Seahawks had been the home team. Again, if you guarantee a division winner a playoff spot then the division still means something. You don't have to get a home game to have it mean something. It is flawed. No team with 4 more wins in a better division should have to travel to play a team that won a worse division. It's just wrong

well I think its fine.

 

The same thing happened a few years ago when Dallas went to Tampa and beat them on a monday night.  Dallas had the better record and won the game.  

 

If you win your division you should get a home game.  That should never change.  

 

Teams get upset all the time in the playoffs.

The team with the better record should get the home game. They earned it. Winning a division with a 9-8 or 10-7 record didn't deserve it as much. So, an 8-9 division winner should be home over a 13-4 second place team in their division? You realize that the Vikings or Lions with 14 wins will have to travel to play possibly 2 or 3 games in the playoffs depending on how far they get and if they play 3, 2 of them will be against teams with worse records than them. Yep, you're right. Very fair lol
