I don’t know if that is true and while I think he has a lot of talent, the more I see of Williams the less I like him. He seems awfully entitled and just seems to prove some of the pre-draft talk 100% true. I just get the feeling that he likes himself more than he does football or winning. Just an opinion from the outside. One year down…many to go to show who he is

Yep. Systems evolve over time. We like football and the league has provided us with more high stakes football games. It’s imperative for them to constantly put their system under self study and evolve and improve when they can. Making sure that the right team hosts a playoff game is a good piece of evolution. Division championships mean very little.
Winning your division has always been the first goal to accomplish at the beginning of every NFL season and hopefully always will be. Win your division, get the number 1 seed, win a SB; in that order. Yes it is ridiculous if a team with a losing record hosts a playoff game because they won a crappy division, but that’s not the norm. It would also be dumb to have a team win a competitive division with 4 good teams all with 10 wins and have to play on the road because an 11 win team had the worst two teams in the NFL in its division and had 4 easy wins because of it.

You want to host a playoff game. Win your division. It’s not like the season is over because you play on the road anyway and being hot and playing well at the right time is much more important. Look at 2023. TB won 9 games and hosted Philly who won 11 games and flat out bitch slapped them. Houston won 10 games and hosted the Browns who won 11 games and bitch slapped them. So in both cases I’d say the best team on that day won the game and home field sure wasn’t worth over 20 points in one game and over 30 points in the other game.

In 2024 the Rams won 10 games and hosted the Vikings who won 14 and crushed them and Houston again won 10 games and played the Chargers who won 11 games and crushed them. So again, the best team on that day won both games. None of these 4 teams had a significantly better home record than road record and half of them were better on the road. In 2023 3 of the 4 teams had somewhat similar home and road records and Cleveland did have a significantly better home record. A home game likely helps Cleveland but they lost by 31 points so they lose any claim to being a better team.

Whatever, we can't go so deep as to evaluate the division when we do seedings. Just make it simple.

You wish to remove the importance of the regular season by not rewarding the team who won more games. Even if a team is in the playoffs but out of the division race they should be playing important games to the end for seeding. This new system is much more fair and makes regular season games count more which is what we all want.
Or is it that you wish to remove the importance of the regular season by giving a home playoff game to a team that didn’t win its division over a team that did :noidea:

It's kind of funny to think they banned stick'em and there was a stigma attached to guys like Lester Hayes for using it, but these gloves are league and used by everyone

Not sure I'm folllowing the logic here. Everyone should understand a 7-9 team who won a crap division is not as good as 11-5 team who played in the same divison as a 13-3 team. So why reward the team who showed to be the worst all season?

Nah. Division titles don’t matter. Conference championships matter. Super Bowls matter. Would you rather be a wildcard and win a Super Bowl or win your division and lose in the playoffs?

But is an 11-6 team that was in a division with two horrible teams and had four easy wins because of it more deserving of a home game than a 10-7 team that was in a division with three other 10-7 teams who all split their games evenly because they were all good? No one is saying a 7-9 team even deserves the playoffs.
