Why do I have to repeat myself three times in 4 posts?

 

Division winners will still be rewarded with a playoff spot. If there were just conferences, 10-6 Arizona would be in the playoffs while 8-7-1 Green Bay would be out. I am not advocating that. I do not want to completely do away with divisions, but a 12-4 playoff team shouldn't have to travel to an 8-7-1 team just because they were in the same division as the best team in the league. Also, division teams would still play each other twice a year as opposed to playing other teams on rotating schedules. There would still be division rivalries, there would still be something to play for, but less teams would be getting screwed over.

 

San Francisco had a much better regular season than Green Bay did and it isn't really arguable. "If SF wanted to play at home, they should of beat the Seahawks and won more games." So basically, what you are saying, is San Francisco is being punished for playing in the best division in football, right? Green Bay can get home-field advantage by going 8-7-1 and playing in the 2nd worst division in football, while San Francisco has to travel while going 12-4 in the best division in football? That makes zero sense.
