I thought NFL playoffs get reseeded after every game tho?
Division Winners are only guaranteed one home game, and after the home game if they win it gets reseeded.
Not in my lifetime
A wild card team would only host a playoff game if they were playing another wild card team
I dont recall ever seeing the NFL re-seed playoffs, always been a bracket IIRC
Not true. If Panthers beat us, and SF and GB win, Carolina would get a SECOND Home Game with an 8-9 record.
League needs to at least change this rule this off season.
Never going to happen. They want teams to get a benefit from winning their division.
I
Dont think so. Winning your division even if its shitty should mean something. Plus not all schedules are equal. This works. No need to fix it.
Should mean something into the SECOND ( and possibly THIRD) Round??????????
It is very rare for an under 500 division winner to win the first game. 2010 seattle over the saints in the earth quake game and 2014 panthers. So it really isnt a big deal
If they won they would have to travel the next game any way. If they won that the only way they would get home field is if a WC team was left. not impossible but unlikely cause they were a loosing team.
Oh my, yes as i stated in my earlier example, if the 6 AND 7 seeds win they get another Home game. (And that is wrong, i feel, sigh)
Attended the Rams Cards game and sat next to an 86 year old Rams fan who attended his first Rams game at the Coliseum when he was 7 years old in 1946 with his father. He saw all the greats of that era. It was an amazing visit. I gave him a hug at the end of the game and feel blessed to have sat next to a 79-80 year Rams fan. He saw Bob Waterfield, Kenny Washington and Woody Strode! The color barrier was broken and he was there to see it. Just amazing. I have paid my respects to Woody Strode as his resting place is near my brother in the Riverside National Cemetery here in California. Had a great time at the game and the Rams fans were loud!
No. You do that you might as well eliminate the divisions and just take the top 7 teams.
Winning a division has to mean that you get an advanatage or there's no point.
I have an uncle that was at the 1951 NFL Championship at the Coliseum. Rams upset the Browns 24-17.
I remember him telling me the story long before the SB34 win when that was the only NFL championship the team had won despite being so close in the 70s and how almost reverent he was about it.
Agree, should be advantage for ONE game. MAX. End of advantage. 2nd Round onward, goes by record.
