Playoff seeding may change

One of the big things that came out of Commissioner Roger Goodell's press conference the other day -- besides Spygate stuff -- is that the league is thinking about re-seeding the playoffs. The thinking is that they want teams to play the entire 16 games, and they don't want coaches cashing it in like Tampa Bay's Jon Gruden did this year -- and to a lesser extent what the Seahawks did against Atlanta in the last game of the season. What Goodell said was that if a team with a Wild Card berth has a better record than a team that wins a division, than the Wild Card team under the new scenario would get the home game. This year that would have meant that Jacksonville would have had a home playoff game against Pittsburgh and New York would have had a home playoff game against Tampa Bay. Not only does it give the home team a decided advantage -- particularly in the case of Qwest Field -- but think of the value of the revenue streams for the home team, both in and around the stadium.

Good job Seahawker.

About having to catch up to everyone else,thats kind of what they told me when I reached milestones. Now I know better than to pay any attention to it. So you dont pay any attention to them and keep posting away.

Re: Playoff seeding may change

Congrats, Seahawker!

Now, about the post itself? No way should they do this. Give a wild card team a home game? Makes no sense at all. Division winners need to be rewarded somehow, and if you're going to threaten them with stripping the home game, you might as well go back to just have two divisions and have four wildcard slots.

Seahawks Insider - Playoff seedings may change


I don't see this happening either. Division Winners have to have some benefit over the wild card teams.

It's a long ways away... you'll forget and go past 2000 before you remember. By then we will make note of it.
