Congrats to your 5-8-1 first place Carolina Panthers! (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=289159)

Congrats to your 5-8-1 first place Carolina Panthers!

Chiefs would OWN the NFC South!

They probably would!

Because we can't compete in the AFC North or our own division for that matter.

If mariota comes out the bucs will own that division for years

another reason to change the playoffs

To what? You're still going to end up with a division winner with a losing record.

Unless you stipulate that just winning your division no longer grants you an automatic bid- that you have to be 8-8 or better.

They did what had to be done.

Praise them with great praise.

In this case Carolina would be the 6th seed in the playoffs despite winning their division. It would also discourage teams from sitting their starters in the final weeks (even though the NFL mostly fixed that by scheduling divisional games at the end).

The Patriots suffered a similar fate in 2008 when they finished 11-5 and missed the playoffs while the 8-8 San Diego Chargers won the AFC West. Although New England had the identical record as Miami and Baltimore, they lost out on the division crown to the Dolphins and the second wild-card spot to the Ravens based on conference records.

Here are the 10-6 teams that didn’t make the playoffs since the NFL expanded to a 16-game schedule in 1978.

2012 Chicago Bears (10-6)
2010 New York Giants (10-6)
2010 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-6)
2007 Cleveland Browns (10-6)
2005 Kansans City Chiefs (10-6)
2003 Miami Dolphins (10-6)
1991 Philadelphia Eagles (10-6)
1991 San Francisco 49ers (10-6)
1989 Washington Redskins (10-6)
1989 Green Bay Packers (10-6)
1988 New York Giants (10-6)
1988 New Orleans Saints (10-6)
1986 Cincinnati Bengals (10-6)
1986 Seattle Seahawks (10-6)
1985 Washington Redskins (10-6)
1981 Denver Broncos (10-6)
1980 New England Patriots (10-6)
1979 Washington Redskins (10-6)

Yea, no kidding

2005 was the year that this team was ****ing rolling at the end.

We got absolutely ****ed against Dallas with the PI.

I don't want it changed. Division games should mean the most and with the current setup, we have that. Maybe you could say they can't host a playoff game but in no way should a division winner, as shitty as their record, not make the playoffs.
