Perfect! :th2thumbs:ctrcat":3c66n7wd said:How's this one? 5 wins, hosting a Lions team that they've already beaten and who have done nothing in the playoffs. A win there and a trip to Glendale against an injury ravaged team with a backup QB. Win there and a Seahawks win in Green Bay then HOSTING the NFCCG against the Hawks while being 3 games under .500 overall.

1. Add another wildcard per conference
2. Add TWO wild cards per conference
3. Do what the CFL does and only allow the Top 12 regardless of conference as long as said representative is good enough to be 3rd place or better in the weaker conference(meaning yes it would be possible for ONE conference to have both berths in the Superbowl).
The NFL lucked out that we not only were competitive but won that game otherwise we would have already had a 14 team playoff years ago. Thank God that should be a reality next year or in 2016 at worst.drdiags":1cnanbrk said:Yeah, I cannot get my nose turned up about this possibility. It was just a few years ago when a 10-6 Bucs and Giants had to stay at home while a 7-9 division winner got to beat the Superbowl Champs in a home game.
There most likely will be a couple of 10-6 teams (or 11 wins) that are going to sit this one out as well. Folks were dogging the NFC West as a joke right before Harbaugh showed up. The NFC East was stinking it up before Chip Kelly showed up in Philly. EDIT: I guess the Washington RGIII team in 2012 did okay before Kelly took over the Eagles.
The most important thing to the league, when they aren't fighting image problems is getting an 18-game season. You play the hand you are dealt and the elitist can go pound sand.
It'd be hilarious. I'm rooting for the Saints to win the division with a losing record just for the chance at it.Marvin49":24agr7ho said:Obviously I want the Niners in the playoffs, but you have to admit there would be a certain symmetry to Seattle having to go and play the Saints in NO in the first round of the playoffs.
