Simple solution and its been discussed allegedly in nfl is a reseeding for playoffs, i think it makes sense. Div winners get 4 spots, 3 wildcards, records dictate seeding among all 7 teams. So the 11 win team doesnt travel to a 8 win division winner like could happen this year. Easy simple fix and still encourages winning divisions

Lots of ways to slice the pie, but that does not solve the problem of losing teams in the playoffs- but I’m not losing any sleep over it - NFL just got another $3Bn from Google/YouTube.

And for those still watching - that is why they go on and on and on about ‘bama

Hopefully Cats don’t roll over and die

Up tempo suites their offense much better

As a wildcat alum I feel safe saying Big 12 defenses suite their offense much better.

The NFL needs to look at playoff team determination. It's an absolute joke to let a team like the Bucs in. Assuming that happens. mtmuley

Not only do they get in, they will host a game.

This will annoy the hell out of Dallas fans... Prescott vs. Cousins...

Chris "Mad Dog" Russo and Courtney Cronin debate whether you can trust Dak Prescott or Kirk Cousins more in the playoffs.

What annoys me is that the guy is an idiot. mtmuley

Can some team please take McDaniels and Ziegler away, and cut Davis’s hair so maybe he can think straight !! Please

My new year’s resolution was to stay off of hunttalk today, but how could I do that when the Vikings play the packers? The Vikings are 11-0 in one score games. They will be 11-1 after today!

Mustache Magic was in short supply today. mtmuley

So if Dallas wins next week and Philly loses, they have the same record and are 1-1 head to head. What’s the tiebreaker?

It's getting close to kickoff for the Vikes/Packers game. History suggests the Packers win. It seems most years they split the season series.

I tried for a good while to be a faithful supporter of any fellow North Dakotan making the NFL. With Wentz, I've moved on. I think the Commanders might be best served doing that also. How do you lose to the Browns at home, when you really need the win? He is what he is, which is a thoroughly mediocre qb. Well paid thou.

I believe Dallas would win the tiebreaker based on the strength of their divisional record.

I think Dallas has beat more teams with a winning record than Philly. mtmuley

Watching the scores...hmmm interesting developments.

 

[MarvB]

As Minnesota folds to Green Bay, only the friggin Vikings can disappoint multiple fan bases in the same season…maybe next year Geno with a few more of those Denver draft pics coming in

 

[Gellar]

I missed the end of the half. Vikings were just about in field goal range. I went to check on the grill and the packers were kicking a field goal.

 

[406dn]

I mentioned earlier I thought the Packers would win today. Being a Viking fan of long standing, I really should not be surprised that the Vikings gave the Pack so much help, but damn.

A benefit of being a Viking fan is that during the playoffs, you become a free agent. So, I'll have a team make a run one way or the other.

Wow..... unreal game there between the raiders and 9ers.
