The outcome of that game does not erase the fact that it shouldn't have happened. The current system rewarded Green Bay for winning a bad division (17-23 vs non division opponents) and punished San Francisco for playing in a good one (30-10 vs non division opponents). The home-field advantage is suppose to be a reward and it should be a reward for the teams who had the best regular season results. 8-7-1 while playing in a below average division does not trump 12-4 while playing in the best division in the league. San Fran earned home-field advantage more than the Packers did. The Packers just got lucky that they were in the North. If they went 8-7-1 in any other division, they miss the playoffs. Instead, they get home field advantage against a 12-4 team that beat them in the regular season. Great system.
