That would be extremely crazy if the Pats get left out of the playoffs at 11-5 but the Chargers make it at 8-8. Better yet the wild card game could be 12-4 Indy at 8-8 SD.

If that happens the NFL may want to make some changes to address the issue.

I remember in 2004 BOTH the Vikings and Rams qualified for the playoffs at 8-8. Oddly enough both of those teams won their wild card games (Vikes over Pack, Rams over Seahawks). At least those teams didn't make the playoffs in place of a team with an actual 'playoff record'.

What burns me the most is that the 8-8 teams will make the playoffs AND draft ahead of the Patriots, unless they make the Superbowl.

I agree. Playoff teams should not have the 12th pick of the draft, or whatnot. (San Diego is currently around the 12 mark and New England is around the 23 mark.)

Unfortunately, the potential 8-8 team smoked the potential 11-5 team early in the season. The Pats will have no gripes

You have to win your division, period...

If you want to ensure you make the post season, you have to win your division, it may not seem fair, but it's an easy goal... beat your division rivals, and win your division.

I don't there needs to be any change.

If San Diego makes it in, they deserve it by winning their division.

What burns me is that The Bronco's (Most likley) and Cardninals will make the play-offs and we beat them by a combined 74 points.

74 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what the nfl should do is eliminate all divisions (not conferences) and the top 6 teams get into the playoffs

Blaaa, bad idea...

Think about what you wrote.

You think there was only one game this year in which a lesser team won the game? They deserve to get in based on one victory?

Please.

Broncos aren't making the playoffs. They are 9 point dogs I think. They might make it, but it's not "likely."
