It's kinda BS when a 10 or 11 win team has to go play an 8-8 or 7-9 team in their house.
Sorry guys I just can't agree. Seattle won their division at 7-9 and the 11-5 WC Saints had to come here in 2010. I didn't have a problem with it and neither did the Seattle fans.
They won their division... over the 7-9 Rams due to a better divisional record while the 10-6 Giants and Bucs missed the playoffs.
It's fine the way it is otherwise there isn't much point to having divisions IMHO.
Just being in the playoffs is reward enough for an average team that wins a mediocre division.
As great as the Beastquake game was for Seahawks fans the fact is a week later we were totally out matched vs the Bears whereas the Saints could have probably given them a good game. Surely the ultimate goal should be to make the playoffs exciting and a 7-9 or 8-8 division winner vs the no.1 seed in the divisional round is seldom going to produce a game worth watching.
