2024 NFL Season

[tree_]

It's pretty dumb that a 14-3 team is going to be a 5 seed.

Yeah the system is dumb for sure

[Matters]

Mike Evans wow. Awesome gutsy move by the Bucs.

[spike]

Haha the Packers’s fanbase is so toxic.

[wease]

Our feed just switched from Denver/KC to Chargers/Raiders.

[spike]

Congrats Doug and all of Denver on your first playoff birth in a decade. Enjoy playing the Bills in Buffalo next week.

[dad]

I would not want to play Denver in the first round.

[Chris_H_2]

one would think the rams would do everything they can to win this game to avoid being the 4 seed

Mike Evans wow. Awesome gutsy move by the Bucs.

really happy for him

wow Vikings vs. Lions on Sunday Night Football

sure the playoffs are coming and they might rest starters

but also there's some mega grudge match action and Dan Campbell would rather play all his #1's and see them carried off on the golf cart than let them sit and heal for 12 minutes

excited

The stakes are huge here.

They’re playing for the top seed bye, aren’t they?

I think the road the entire way.

Crazy for it to happen this way but not sure how or why you would alter the system for situations like this

[96583UP]

i've lost track of the seeding implications

here i was thinking that simply being in the playoffs was satisfactory

silly me

who shall obtain the best seed?

who shall receive inferior seed?

we find out tonight

Division winners shouldn't be guaranteed a top 4 seed, just a playoff spot.

I would feel differently if the divisions had more teams, but too many mediocre teams have won their division over the years.

I would feel differently if the divisions were larger (say 6-8 teams a piece).

Yep, seed based on record once field is set. Packers as the 7th seed is annoying.

They could still host in the Conference Championship game if the 1-4 seeds all lose.

edit: they could technically host in the divisional round too

[E.H. Ruddock]

Colts/Jags going to overtime in the last week of the season was hilarious

My counter argument: win more games then
