Problem giving division winners home field more than the 7 seed. Really if Miami has Tua and Allen plays the same way then Miami probably win that game. Seattle had that game close at halftime, we might see a game next week be more out of hand.
There were 6 9-8 teams this year (including the Giants at 9-7-1).
Two made the playoffs and won their game, two made the playoffs and lost, two didnt make the playoffs.
To me in a league where you only play 17 games, and where the schedule has such a heavy imbalance you need to have more playoff teams. Looking at Seattle and Detroit for example...its tough that one team gets a game and one team didnt when the schedules are so different.
To me 2 divisions and having fewer interconference games would be better, because at least youd have more balanced schedules within the conferences to determine playoff seeds. But yeah you lose some of the premier matchups in the regular season (although thats pretty random anyways)
