Am I living on Earth?
The Bills won the AFC East.
The Browns clinched a playoff spot.
The Washington Football Team won the NFC East with a sub-.500 record.
And for the record, I recall the Seahawks won the NFC West about 7-8 years ago with a 7-9 record, which made several people upset. However, that was the year Marshawn Lynch broke out his Beast Mode run in the playoffs.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

People were more upset that Seattle was given a home game against a team (forget which now) that had a far superior record and didn't play in a pushover division.Originally posted by MissThundercat View Post"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

The Saints. I believe they were 11-5 that year (2010) and the defending Super Bowl champions.Originally posted by St. Clown View Post
I forget who won the Super Bowl that season, but obviously given that a 7-9 team made the playoffs, any Super Bowl won that season should be heavily discounted and perhaps not even recognized. : - P
ETA: Carolina won their division in 2014 with a losing record (7-8-1). They also won a home playoff game against Arizona (11-5 that season) before getting beat by Seattle in the Divisional Round. Two other losing teams have made the playoffs, both in the strike-shortened season in 1982 (which also featured 8 teams from each conference making the playoffs): Cleveland and Detroit, who were both 4-5 and lost in the first round.Last edited by Fighting Sioux 23; 01-06-2021, 10:27 AM.North Dakota

I'd be in favor of keeping the autobid for the divisions, but getting rid of the home game.
NFC:
7. Football Team (7-9) at 2. Saints (12-4)
6. Bears (8-8) at 3. Seahawks (12-4)
5. Rams (10-6) at 4. Buccaneers (11-5)
Bye: 1. Packers (13-3)
AFC:
7. Colts (11-5) at 2. Bills (13-3)
6. Browns (11-5) at 3. Steelers (12-4)
5. Ravens (11-5) at 4. Titans (11-5)
Bye: 1. Chiefs (14-2)
I'm just going to keep the Titans at 4 because I don't feel like solving a four-way tie, so the AFC stays the same, but the NFC bracket looks better.Go Green! Go White! Go State!

That's probably the best compromise. Give the division winners auto bids but seed the field straight by record.Originally posted by Spartanforlife4 View PostCornell University

Just a reminder that tomorrow's Bears@Saints game will be broadcast on Nick and have "kid-focused context and Nick-themed elements throughout the broadcast" and there is no way that isn't going to be great.

I would pay a considerable amount of money, certainly triple figures, for a World Cup-like phalanx of kids wearing both teams' jerseys to go to the 50 for the coin toss and all take a knee.Originally posted by French Rage View PostCornell University

Break up the Bills!
Seahawks in their D jerseys, as opposed to the F trash bags.
Let us pause to remember, before the Aesthetic Infant Turn of the late 80s, this team used to have some of the finest unis in football:
