Too much football to be played for me to even be thinking about what has to happen for the Fins to get in the playoffs at this point.  Just keep winning.

I have to comply reverse course on the playoffs.  I forgot (didn’t know) that there’s an extra playoff team.  Mea culpa on that.

Works for us this year but in general I hate it. Soon half the league will make the playoffs, plus it diminishes the #2 seed, practically guaranteeing the #1 seed goes to the Superbowl.

Agreed.  It is a sign of the times.  All aspects of society (sports included) keep lowering the bar of "excellence" and now even mediocrity is celebrated.

This was supposed to be due to the pandemic and all that, but no way they stop doing it going forward. Owners love that extra revenue from having more playoff games. Sadly, I fear that MLB will also taint their playoff system going forward with whatever the hell joke this year was.

No offense, no defense. -21 point differential. Are the Browns the worst 8-3 team ever?

I totally disagree and think it will make for better teams.

As is, there are too many divisions, so you let garbage teams in to advance.  With an extra slot, you'll get a better average in quality and less protection for the last seed.  Also, you're not giving bye weeks to as many teams.  I think this is a huge positive.

I get what you are saying and you make a couple of good points, but I still don't like the overall result of making the playoffs less of an accomplishment.

We want Houston to win against the Colts

We want LAC to win against the Patriots

We want Dallas to defeat Baltimore

^^ I would rather have the draft capital from Houston losing then depend on the Colts to lose.  The Dolphins are in the drivers seat, if they can't win enough to get in the playoffs, they shouldn't be there anyway.

Exactly.  If you don't win enough games to be in the playoffs you shouldn't be in the playoffs.  I want to bang the prom queen because she wants me to bang her.  I don't want a pity F.  lol

Agreed, I want Indy to beat them twice. If we can't get 3 wins in the last 5 games, one against the Burrowless Bengals then we deserve to stay home.
