The Panthers have had a terrible year. The kind of year that gets coaches fired and QB's benched. When you're 5-8-1, your'e not very good.
Instead, if the playoffs started today, they'd get to host a playoff game. That's why this system needs changing.
This season is an extreme example, but I'll give you an example of a scenario that isn't extreme. If the Panthers were 9-7, and someone else were 10-6, and both teams were in the top 6 and deserved to be in the playoffs, I'd still have the Panthers going on the road to face the 10-6 team, even if the Panthers won their division. Instead, under the current format, the Panthers would host the game. This kind of thing happens every season, where a division winner hosts a game against a team with a better record than them. It should never happen.
