    This isn't college football. You don't make the playoffs with rankings, you make them by winning the games you need to win.

    No, let's just allow teams that win their division in.

    If you guys can't see that the format is flawed then I don't know what to tell you guys.

    Sadly it happens often too.

    2008 Patriots 11-5 - out of playoffs
    2008 Chargers 8-8 - in the playofffs

    2011 Titans 9-7 - out of the playoffs
    2011 Broncos 8-8 - in the playoffs

    2014 Eagles 10-6 - out of the playoffs
    2014 - Panthers 7-8-1 - in the playoffs

    How anyone can claim this as being fair is asinine to me

    What do all of those in the playoffs teams have in common? That's right, they won their division.

    Also, all three advanced a round in the playoffs, so you kind of picked poor examples.

    Furthermore, I wouldn't really label 3 playoff teams out of a pool of 84 teams (7 year span, 12 teams per year) as being "often".

    I'm sorry, allowing teams that end seasons with 3 less wins than another just because they won their shitty division doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs. They never will. That's why both the Redskins, and Texans were smashed this past weekend.

    Re: 2015 NFL Season

    Here's another example.

    2010 Giants 10-6 - out
    2010 Bucs 10-6 - out
    2010 Seahawks 7-9 - in

    2013 Cardinals 10-6 - out
    2013 - Packers 8-7-1 in

    So since 2008 (8 seasons) the NFL has had this issue happen 6 times. I'm not wrong on this, you all are.

    Then why even have divisions at all?

    Just pool all 32 teams into one big conglomerate and send the 16 best records into the playoffs.

    There's no point in even having divisions if winning one doesn't mean shit.

    Meanwhile the Chargers are stuck in another year of limbo trying to decide what to do.

    I don't care if they're playing in San Diego, LA, or Timbuktu. I just want some resolution on this matter.

    The L.A. Rams aren't real until "Chris" Everett whoops Jim Rome's ass on television again.

    Would be fine with me, except too many playoff teams. 14 teams would be more than enough. There's no point in these 7-8-1 or 8-8 division winners being in the playoffs, because you will never see one of them in the Super Bowl. Unless of course it's the Giants getting lucky against a 12-4 or better Patriots team again.

    You contradicted your own argument by highlighting the Giants.
