The NFL should get rid of divisions

Were y'all saying this when the NFC west got an 8-8 team into the playoffs?

Just sayin....

Us? Defending Seattle? I think we were saying the same things then as we are now, both those for and against.

I didn't like the idea of the seahawks getting in over better teams that year.

Goodell sees ?a lot of benefits? to expanding the playoffs | ProFootballTalk

It is going to happen. They are going to expand the # of playoff teams from 12 to 14.

What may tip the balance in favor of expanding the playoffs is money: Two more playoff teams would mean two more playoff games, and those games would fetch upwards of $100 million apiece from one of the NFL’s TV partners. It’s hard to picture the NFL’s owners turning that down.

An extra $200 million for the NFL? How could the owners turn this down?

But what about the 15th and 16th teams? They'll be screwed!!!

Might as well add as many teams as possible. $100 mil a pop is nothing to sneeze at.
