You realize all the NFC South teams are 2 or more games under .500, but 1 of them is guaranteed a playoff spot, right?

There is a scenario where even if the Cowboys go 11-5 they can still miss the playoffs if the Seahawks and Detroit go 3-1 in their last 4 games.

REALLY!?! IS THAT HOW IT WORKS!?! HOLY SHIT! I HAD NO IDEA!
Here is some more context, since you're too retarded to comprehend why I don't think he understands the NFL playoff structure..
How the fuck is an NFC South team going to sneak ininsteadof the Cowboys? An NFC South team is already going to the playoffs whether the Cowboys finish 9-7, 10-6, 11-5, 12-4, or even if they had gone 0-16. So, his post infers that an NFC South team will win a wild card, or he's somehow under the delusion that the Cowboys can win the NFC South.

They could win the NFC South...if they were in that division but then again so could 22 other teams in the NFL LOL.

Personally I think there should be a rule for shit like the NFC south this year, if the winning team of any division fails to reach at least 8-8 the wild card team with the best record takes their spot in the playoffs and the wild card is adjusted after that. I don't think that's asking too much and it wouldn't come into play that often and protects the playoffs from teams with shit records.

So the Niners are gonna be bros and help the Cowboys to the playoffs by beating the Seahawks RIGHT???
I'm not sure what the NFL is more fully invested in other than the division centered structure we have now. This year's NFCS is surely an outlier, there's no way the owners will make any permanent changes that put the divisional crown's value at risk. If anything, be ready for more 8-8 and worse teams to be in the playoffs like in hockey and other sports. Some of the owners have hard-ons for expanding the playoffs just like going to 18 games. More teams = shittier teams.

I think I've spent way to much time high off my ass writing a trash talking post only to realize its not worth it, the truth hurts more than anything I could ever say.

I like the option where Seahawks beat the Eagles and then we beat the Eagles for the division.

Aren't they expanding the playoffs next year, like it's a given and already approved? The 1 seed gets the first round by, the other 3 division winners host wild card games.

I'm pretty sure the "losing division winner" was a talked about scenario when the owners decided to realign the league the way it is now. They need to take a cue from the NBA and make sure the team with the better record has the home field but that's been talked about since SD won the AFC West with an 8-8 record a few years back.

The fuck there wasn't. Everyone in the NFL was talking about how that was unfair and how the Seahawks should have had to travel to NO instead of playing at home.
