saints make the playoffs with a 6-10 record and cowboys miss with an 11-5 record. I will lulz myself to death



There ought to be a floor for the record a division champ can have and still be an automatic qualifier for the playoffs. My vote would be a .500 record.

The idea of a team like this year's Saints or Falcons making the playoffs with a record 4 games under .500 ought to make anyone with a mind for fairness uncomfortable.





















Wait, the Cowboys are the ones being left out? Nevermind. We're good.

You win the division, you prove yourself as the best team out of four teams in a 16 team conference with a 6 team playoff format. There is very little more fair than that.

People are ignoring that all of the entire NFC South's teams being really shitty is not normal and but they are still a part of a 16 team conference competing against 12 other teams and the best team out of those 4 teams deserve to be rewarded.
