NFL needs to get rid of home field and playoff berth

I don't disagree. That screwed us in 2010 with Seattle hosting us. It has always been a bit ludicrous that a losing team can host a winning team in the playoffs.

You can't change the rules just because it doesn't benefit someone in a given year.

This will be only the 2nd time since the merger a team will win the division with less than a .500 record. That's certainly no reason to change anything.

If you win your division, you deserve a home playoff game. Simple as that.

No you don't. A 7-9 team has no business hosting an 11-5 team. It's simply ludicrous.

This stupid fricking thread get posted every time a team with a poor record is in contention for a division title. Each time it is posted it is just as fricking stupid as the last.

Well, you shouldn't, but you CAN. Brady "Tuck" rule, Favre OT rule change (give Brett a chance), punish Seattle for beating Manning and the Broncos (illegal contact calls).

Yep, that's the rules going in. That's why we're playing Atlanta, Tampa and Carolina twice.

If the Saints or Falcons lose, I doubt there will be a rules change. But if by some stroke of luck it's the Saints and they wake up for a game and light up the scoreboard (something very possible), then, yes, I fully expect Goodell to alter things so it can't happen again.
