Good luck with that...if the Lions are 11-5, they're in.

Lions own the tiebreaker with Dallas and Philly (conference record).
If Detroit goes 11-5, they in.

Disagree. I think it's perfect, and as God is my witness, I've always argued this.
If you go 11-5 and don't win your division, it's because someone else did, and they had to play your good arse twice en route. It is good to reward them by putting your not as good arse through a gauntlet if you want a third crack at them. So you have to go on the road. But, since you are pretty good and proved it, we'll send you on the road to the easiest place possible. How's a 6-10 opponent sound to you? Good? Enjoy.

I can't wait for the meltdown when the 6-10 Saints or Falcons host the 11-5 Cowboys or Seahawks.

I hate the Cowboys with a passion, but if they go 11-5 and miss the playoffs, it's a guarantee that the NFL will take more playoffs in the future.

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.
Within reason I could agree with you, but when the winner of a division isn't above .500 that logic falls apart.
A winner of a division deserves some benefit of the doubt if everything else were equal, but when an entire division does poorly in out of division play (as is the case when the winner is not even .500) the division as a whole is suspect and forfeits their right to a representative IMO.
The premise of awarding every division winner deserving a playoff bid is that schedules are unequal and you can't always determine the relative quality of different divisions. The schedules are indeed likely unequal when a sub .500 team wins a division, but they are mostly unequal because theirs was weaker (and less deserving of a playoff bid).

Nailed it.

People need to realize it's cyclical. It's not that hard to remember a time when the NFC west was absolutely abysmal and the south was great.

Roger Goodell's Response:
"The true solution to this dilemma is to add an NFL team in London. Now please enjoy this video:"
Cuts to a white screen until a face appears:
"One more," Chris Carter.
"One more," Eli Manning.
