NFL Playoffs how fair is this

Now first off I am only using the Patriots as an example. I should be safe doing this since they are not near my favorite team. lol

How sad is it that the Arizona Cardinals will make the playoffs and the Patriots at perhaps 11- 5 won't make the playoffs. Arizona wins because they play in a horrible division and they can't even hold the Patriots jocks. We may have to face that this is going to happen andif I was a NE fan I would be pissed. They should void out that divison and tell them they don't deserve to go to the playoffs. No one fears the Cardinals but every team in the playoffs this year would fear the Patriots.

I'm sure there have been years where the Pats got in with a worst record than somebody else

I agree....Zona is ONE AND DONE!!! Philly or ATL/TAMPA is way more deserving of a playoff spot!!

I bet we can name 10 teams that are more deserving. I hate Arizona because of wizzy and russ going there and running down the Steelers for hiring Tomlin. People have been giving this team credit and for what ? They play crap teams all season and we all know they are one and done. Any QB could look good in that division.

its not a good example since arizona and NE are in different conferences

however I think the NFL has to strongly consider a division winner not getting

the home game vs a wildcard team with a better record

NBA does it right in this regard

Very true
If they are going to give AZ a shot then they may as well give Detroit one also.

Zona may go 8-8 and an 11-5 ATL and TAMPA or 10-5-1 PHILLY will miss out. Doesnt seem right at all. Put Zona in another Division and they are not even mentioned!!
