Radicals and revolutionaries define the world and bring about progress, not those who insist on "if ain't broke, don't fix it."

We can either embrace change or it will embrace us.

Radical change is good and does move things forwards but that is when there is reason for radical change. Changing for change sake usually ends up messing things up. That is why when you look at Radical change that was good there was a reason behind it. Everyone here has had a boss that had a "great" idea and watch it make more work and things take longer.

Changing the schedule would favor stronger teams. This would just widen the gap. It could create discouragement. I see no real benefit other than people who don't normally get to play teams do. If you want to test yourself against Chicago and The Jets and you are in the other conference. I would say if you are good enough to test yourself against them they would be on your schedule.

I think people should stop worrying about things that don't effect what is going on the field.Besides it is looking like AFC is falling back down to earth.

Oh and all of the griping
No losing team will make the playoffs

2 teams .500 or better won't make the playoffs. One of those teams are playing a meaningless game where the other team has benched starters.


By Record
1 NY Jets 13-1
2. Chicago 11-4
3. Oakland 10-5
4. LA 9-5-1
5. Detroit 9-6(h2h 1-0)
6. Jacksonville 9-6(h2h 0-1)
7. Minnesota 8-6-1
8. Washington 8-7( GB/Sea/Wash h2h 1-0)
9. Green Bay 8-7 (h2h 1-1)
10. Seattle 8-7 (0-1)

Again it wasn't that big of a deal

You can't really draw things from how next week goes Detroit's starters are benched.
LA is 9-5-1 but only played one playoff team in NFC and lost.

AFC possible playoff teams records against NFC playoff teams

Jets 2-1
Oak 1-1
LA 0-1
Min 2-0
Jac 1-1
Sea 0-1

NFC Playoff teams again AFC .500 or better teams
Chi 2-0
Det 1-2
Was 0-3
GB 2-1


Record against teams that will finish .500 or better
Jets 7-1
Oak 6-4
Min 4-5
LA 3-4(play the jets this week)
Jac 3-5
Sea 3-6
26-25


Chi 4-1
Det 3-4
Was 1-5
GB 4-3
9-13

Only 4 of teams have a winning record against .500 or better teams.
AFC playoff teams aren't better than the NFC.
When you rank teams by record against teams .500 or better

1. Jets
2. Chi
3. Oakland
4. Green Bay
5. Minnesota
6. Detroit/LA
8. Jacksonville
9. Seattle
10. Washington

Besides Washington it looks pretty even. I am pretty sure none of the AFC teams want to play Washington who is on a 4 game winning streak.
