Owners to vote on changing NFL playoff seeding

Probably won't pass, but it's shocking to me how many people oppose this, most of whom don't seem to understand that division winners are still division winners and automatically get a playoff spot.

The current format really hurt us last year, however I do not want to see it changed as it could also lead to other potentially unfair scenarios. For instance, we will most likely have the toughest division in the conference which could result in the division winner having more losses than someone in a weaker division. If they are going to do that then to be fair they would need to do away with playing each team in your division twice.

I would rather risk that scenario than seeing a shit team get to host a playoff game simply because they were the least shitty team in a shitty division.  They get their division title,  regular season wins should have benefits too when it comes to playoff seeding for all teams,  not just the division winners.

If so, do you think they should continue to play each team in the division twice, because then the basis for the standings is not fair for teams in the strongest division.
