With a bad 8-9 division champ who was forced by rule to make the playoffs it’s not unexpected

Not like that division is gonna be any better next year either, 8-9 might get it done again. A potential QB slate of Dalton, Darnold/Carroll, Ridder and Gabbert/Trask....just cancel the division.

I’m holding out hope the Ravens have burned their bridge with Lamar and he goes to Atlanta. They’ll kill everyone

Such a dirty play by Wilson. I have no idea what he's trying to do there. The game is over.

Bucs somehow winning here would be peak Brady and peak Cowboys.

If nothing else this would be a hell of a backdoor over considering the four missed EPs.

“which gives us more time to talk about Dallas”

Right - they are starved for attention.

Should shock nobody.

Tampa was the best team in an awful division and they still barely won it

That still doesn't guarantee anything, and it would lead to more difficult to balance schedules. Just don't guarantee a home game to division winners, easy and simple.

You said you don't want uncompetitive games in the WC round. My system would be more conducive to consistently competitive games in the WC round.

Of course there's no such thing as a system that guarantees competitive games every time.

I said I don't want the 7 seed. Both 7 seeds this year were badly outpayed, yet again, and the only reason the Dolphins came close to winning was the Bills trying to concoct the worst choke job ever. You advocated adding more teams, which would only make things worse. Go back to six teams, no guaranteed home game for division winners, basically perfect.
