my opinion in this topic is thats not really a good idea. a good idea would be to change the playoff system into 16 teams, instead of the 12 we see know. that gives a chance to this years vikings and browns who didnt make it to have a shot in the postseason. anyhow, the past 3 seasons (counting this years) a 1 or 2 seed who has had a one week bye, failed to win the superbowl, so the first 2 seeds in each conference dont deserve a free ride through the first round!

Why not reward the teams with the best record? Why should a division winner from a sorry division that has a 9-7 record host a wild card team with a 10-6 record?

This seems silly to me…keep the reward for outperforming the teams you play most often. Yeah, this may hurt great division runner-ups, but it’s a cyclical issue, rather than one that comes up every year. If you want to host a game in the playoffs, learn to win those six games you have scheduled every year (as the Jags and Texans have finally started to gear themselves up to do in the afforementioned AFC South.)

In the AfC it would not have mattered for the Jags. They lost their division no matter what the Colts did. The team it impacted was the Browns. But you also must realize the wildcard teams need to win their first games. Its a tired point. Kust like when the NFC won 13 straight SuperBowls and the talk was to seed the entire playoffs.
