Re: Not making the playoffs, blessing in disguise.
Again, my argument has never been that I think they will/should change it. Doesn't mean I have to like it. And I don't, not just because it happened to my team, because I find it an unfortunate side effect of the business of sports taking precedence over the spirit of deciding who is the best in the game for a given year.
there will always be a set of circumstances where if things happen a certain way, it doesn't fall in order.......it happens......the only real solution to this is to not have divisions and just have the top 6 teams go.........problem with that is that it is lousy when it comes to marketing and the league as a whole......if it wasn't for the 2 worst records in the playoffs, there would not be a single team from west of the mississippi in the playoffs...........I think as a league, they will accept something like this happening once every 20 years over the idea of half the country losing interest in pro football.......I don't like it either, but understand why things like this happen once in a while and move on
