....I know it's old news but it hasn't been discussed here yet (I don't think).
As much as I'd like to watch NFL football year round and he may have a good idea, but I don't like it.
He (Kraft) says an 8-8 or 7-9 team shouldn't make the playoffs (I agree), but that's exactly what's going to happen if you have half the teams in the NFL making the playoffs. I also disagree with his view that a 9-7 team SHOULD make the playoffs. I also think the tie breaker policy is a good one.
Will it make it more interesting? Sure, but I think it will not be much different than the NHL where, as long as you're not in the cellar in your division, you have a chance. I like the fact that they have to fight more for limited spots.
Can anyone give me a valid arguement why it would be a good thing (beesides the fact that this would have benefited the Pats this past season)?
