NFL discussing reseeding, playoff expansion

[Champ]

This is for all the salty ass Saints fans.

If it works...screw with it until it's broken. That's the NFL way.

Peter King is for changing it, which makes me even more firmly entrenched in the position that it should not change.

San Francisco won 12 games this year. Green Bay, eight. But the Packers are rewarded with a postseason home game because they won the NFC North, and the 49ers are a wild card. The kickoff temperature is projected to be about minus-5 at Lambeau Field. It is blatantly unfair to make a team that was superior in the regular season travel to play an inferior one. The reward for winning a division should be a playoff berth, but NOT a home playoff game. The Competition Committee has to stop this miscarriage of home-team justice from happening again and change the rules next spring.

As everyone already said, stop bitching and win moar games. And please don't expand to 14 or 16 - a lot of times a conference barely has five playoff-worthy teams, let alone seven or eight.

I didn't see any bitching when the Packers had to travel to Arizona a few years ago.

Wildcard round should stay the same.

Divisional round should be based on record, ie. if a 3 and a 5 seed advance and the 5 seed is 12-4 and the 3 seed is 10-6, the 3 seed should play the 1 and the 2 and 5 should play.

Conference finals should have the highest seed host.

In every case, the highest seed will still host, but the divisional round is changed slightly so that the best team faces the team with the worst record, not the one with the lowest seed.

football is about adversity. If Rodgers wasn't injured and the Pack wins 10 games would the argument be the same ?

I like Peter King, he has been around the sport a long time and writes very insightful stuff. But he still is basically employed by the NFL and will sensationalize here and there
