An article written by Kerry Byrne in 2009 holds true today. It's an embarrassment to a 16 game schedule that an 8/7/1 team that gave up more points than it scored hosts a 12/4 team in the playoffs.
It's time to return to an Eastern and Western divisional alignment in each Conference and take the top 4 of each division for the playoffs, thereby making the regular season actually mean something. Even in 1967 the Colts were screwed by the system; but at least the Packers were a solid team that year, outscoring its opponents by 123 points.
