Playoff seedings May Change

Posted by Frank Hughes @ 10:51:57 am

One of the big things that came out of Commissioner Roger Goodell's press conference the other day -- besides Spygate stuff -- is that the league is thinking about re-seeding the playoffs. The thinking is that they want teams to play the entire 16 games, and they don't want coaches cashing it in like Tampa Bay's Jon Gruden did this year -- and to a lesser extent what the Seahawks did against Atlanta in the last game of the season. What Goodell said was that if a team with a Wild Card berth has a better record than a team that wins a division, than the Wild Card team under the new scenario would get the home game. This year that would have meant that Jacksonville would have had a home playoff game against Pittsburgh and New York would have had a home playoff game against Tampa Bay. Not only does it give the home team a decided advantage -- particularly in the case of Qwest Field -- but think of the value of the revenue streams for the home team, both in and around the stadium.

hate it

If they are going to change the playoffs, they should add one team to each conference's playoffs, that way 7 teams are in and only one team gets a bye. The second seed gets two home games in a row.

yw!
