Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:When's the last time the Steelers and Patriots both missed the playoffs? Looks like 2000, when the Patriots were trash and the Steelers just missed at 9-7. Also man the NFC playoffs look comically brutal. Like what's the point of fighting for spots 6-7? At least in the AFC everyone's pretty broken.

We may get a 7-10 team with a 7 seed in the NFC. Bonus points if it's an NFC East team.

Jameis best feed Hyde and Poyer! Real talk: the Bills will probably lose a random game to a cupcake. Most likely the Pats: they almost beat us in Buffalo last year.

Kalli posted:Also loving RIP the NFC wild card teams jesus christ Hey the five seed in the NFC is a pretty okay football team in my own personal opinion. The fun part about the NFC is all the top teams but the Bucs still have games against each other Packers @ Cardinals This Thursday Rams @ Packers Week 12 Rams @ Cardinals Week 14 Cardinals @ Cowboys Week 17 The Bucs probably have the best chance at the one seed because schedule-wise they are setup to run the table. Their hardest games remaining are Saints twice and the Bills

Lame. Agreed I don't like it. It was already easy as gently caress for the 1 seed and they made it even worse. Personally I think it should be a seeded tournament just like the NBA or MLB. No byes for anyone but the 1 seed plays the 8 seed, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5. Then the winners play each other again based on original seed, and then the championship game happens for that conference with the two winners from those games. Another cool idea (although not really workable) would be a round robin tournament where everyone plays everyone and points based on wins gets you to the super bowl. But that would be too many games

They should just go ahead and add an 8th playoff team per conference honestly. Right now it'd be Bengals - Steelers and Falcons - Cardinals! Those would be funny games!

Doesn't matter in the slightest who plays QB for the Jets. Just reach into a bag of random QB names. Flacco? Sure why not

For playoff reformat ideas, I recently was talking to someone about this and they suggested something like a divisional championship round. THEN a wildcard round made up of the 4 divisional championship winners and then 2-4 wildcard teams drawn from both the division losers and the rest of the conference. This week would replace the 17th game. I kinda like the idea, because it starts the post season with division rivals playing in a meaningful game. It also has 8 changes for some fun like a 14-2 monster getting knocked off by their 7-9 division rival. It's almost more meaningful than just adding a random extra game like they did.

Just do 6 teams with two byes or eight teams with no byes. It's not hard

I have zero issue with trash teams making the playoffs. Don't wanna play a trash team and potentially get embarrassed on national TV? Win your division then!

The Jets coaching staff just picked up Flacco because they know that Belichiek is just too good against rookie QBs. They won't be caught unawares by that again this season! *taps head*
