Quote:Coach challenges would chaange for the entire season if that happened. Very rarely do they get two right, and often when they do they don't use the third one.

 

The "last time" a losing team went to the playoffs was actually the only time it happened. I see no reason requiring a winning record would be taking parity out of the NFL.

It's not taking parity out of it.  It's admitting that there is no parity.

 

Because it would be saying that a team with a record good enough to win a division isn't good enough to win in the playoffs.

 

If you're going to do that, you might as well do away with divisions altogether.  They would serve absolutely no purpose other than for scheduling.  But why face off against a team twice a year?  Might as well change it so that you face 16 different teams.  One game against each of the other 15 teams in the conference, and one against the other conference team with the same ranking as you the previous year. For example the Jaguars this year would face off against each AFC team, and the Detroit Lions.
