NFL Will Consider Changing Playoff Format

[MaroonBells]

They've considered changing it before but never did. They'll consider changing it again this off season, but again likely won't change it. 

What say you? Should the NFL change how teams are seeded so that teams with better records are seeded higher than division winners with worse records?

I like the reward for winning your division of a home game. So I'm ok with it as it is.

It needs to change but probably won't. If a team plays in a division with nothing but crappy teams and the division leader ends up with a .500 or slightly better record they should not be rewarded with a home game in the first round of the playoffs.

All division winners should make the playoffs but seeding should be based on record.

All division winners should make the playoffs but seeding should be based on record.

I don’t care to see any changes as to who makes the playoffs, but I definitely consider the home field advantage set up stupid. I’ve never understood it. I know people like to say bad division this or that, but in my mind having an elite record is extremely difficult (much more so than winning a division) no matter what and should be rewarded for it.

You dont need division vs wildcard labels if this becomes strictly top 6 or 7 get to the dance, and home game seeding is strictly w/l based too.

I personally dont think it'll happen.

I definitely agree that division winners should make the playoffs. I just don't think, for example, a 9-8 team should host a 14-3 team. I'm all for changing the format to achieve that. There might be a situation where a division winner would make the playoffs over a team with a better record and I'm OK with that, but once the division winners are determined, seed the field by record and record only.
