Maylocks Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 the Jags have a 12-4 record and Pats have 10-6... I can't think why the game isn't at Jacksonville.
Hollywood Donahoe Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 the Jags have a 12-4 record and Pats have 10-6... I can't think why the game isn't at Jacksonville. What KD said. Division winners are always seeded above wild cards, and higher seeds always host lower seeds.
EndZoneCrew Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Because this man is a genius and he outsmarted the Jags for the homegame!!!!
KD in CA Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 A major disadvantage that critics cite in the current system is that a divisional winner could host a playoff game against a wild card team that earned a better regular season record. For example, the Jacksonville Jaguars finished the 2005 regular season with a 12-4 record, but only qualified as a wild card team and thus will have to face the New England Patriots, the AFC East division champions with a 10-6 record, at the Patriots' home field Gillette Stadium. What a timely inclusion! But I disagree with those critics. The division winner deserves the higher seed.

Orton's Arm Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 In general, I think a team that finishes second (and 12-4) in a tough division deserves a higher seed than a team that wins a joke division by going 9-7. But this doesn't apply to Jacksonville, because their schedule was as soft as Theisman's head. Based on their performance against NE, I question what Jacksonville was doing in the playoffs in the first place.
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 They could solve all this non-sense and just play a 31 game season! Play each team once.

The team with the better record should always have the home advantage.

Their D usually keeps them in games and they grind it out because they just don't have enough playmakers on offense.
