happens every year, so why should it be any different this year?

 

[rmilia1]

A. If we aren't going to reward division winners then we don't really need divisions. Just get rid of them

Every single year... without fail.

If winning the division isn't going to give a team one home game in the playoffs, then just do away with divisions. It's a tired argument.

Agreed, with doing away with the divisions

I think its a travesty that a shit show like Houston can get home games in back to back seasons

 

[PDay8810]

shocking !
the gmen fans now wanna do away with division winnings getting a home game.

new day, different circus....cue the music

 

[purguy12]

I always like Plan (B). Plan A never made sense. I hope they change it 1 day. I hate seeing teams like Houston get an Home game for having an Avg season. It happens all the time.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

I prefer B but don't find A horrific exactly either.

 

[fordman84]

I voted B, but honestly at that point what is the purpose of Divisions aside from scheduling?

Every. Single. Year.

It's perfect the way it is. Reward division winners. Wild card teams should have a harder path.

 

[Manster7588]

A GMan fan starts a poll hoping we validate his team got screwed, yet he doesn't vote?

Because it affected the OPs team. Maybe if it was from a non Giants or Raiders fan, it would hold more weight.

Oh, no, no, no. I can't tell you how far off you are, my friend. Does this help? Here is how past seedings would have gone...

2011
(1)*GB (15-1)
(2)*SF (13-3)
(3)*NO (13-3)
(4)ATL (10-6)
(5)DET (10-6)
(6)*NYG (9-7)

2007
(1)*DAL (13-3)
(2)*GB (13-3)
(3)*SEA (10-6)
(4)NYG (10-6)
(5)*TB (9-7)
(6)WAS (9-7)

I've wanted to do away with division winners getting guaranteed home games for years.

 

[PhilSimms11]

I always like Plan (B). Plan A never made sense. I hope they change it 1 day. I hate seeing teams like Houston get an Home game for having an Avg season. It happens all the time.

Yes, it does. Since they went to 8 divisions in 2002 at least one wildcard has had a better record than a division winner in 13 of the 15 seasons.

Kind of like the Giants in,

97'
05'
11'

?

 

[Broncos6482]

So? What's wrong with that? Maybe those wildcard teams played a much easier record.

If you want a home playoff game, win your division.

The divisional home game has more to do with awarding the team owner with a home game in the post season. It's also why it will never be approved to change.

 

[Broncos6482]

Hey @PhilSimms11 you can give me as many BS ratings as you want, it's not going to change my opinion. I'm sorry your Giants weren't good enough to win their division and earn a home playoff game.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

I voted B. First it would take away all the excuses of "x" team plays in a weak/weaker division...
To me, more total wins should be rewarded over a 7-9 team getting a home game. There is no way to account for SoS year in and year out.
