Hooray! The Broncos won last night and pulled into a tie with the Chargers (from Saun-DEE-AH-Go, German for a whale's vagina) in the putrid AFC West. Two teams, both 5-5 sit atop the division standings and 4-6 KC is only one game out. Pathetic! The NFC west isn't much better with 6-4 Seattle one game better than 5-5 Arizona.
Hasn't the time come to get rid of the Division winners automatic bid? Congratulations Denver: you beet the shit out of Oakland and KC and you get to play with New England, Pittsburgh and Indy. What kind of sense does that make. Why not just set it up so you can win your division but you have to have one of the 6 best records to make the playoffs. Or better yet, how about we get rid of the ridiculous divisions all together. 16 teams in the AFC, 16 teams in the NFC with the 6 best from each side making the playoffs.
How would the schedule work you ask, I'll tell you. You play everyone in the conference once for a total of 15 games and then play 3 against the other conference for a total of 18 games. Get rid of two of the preseason games and set up a season where we get to see who is truly the best in each Conference. Plus, by adding two more games we can start diminishing the Patriots accomplishment right away like people do to the '72 Dolphins. "Yeah but they only went 16-0 not 18-0... so it's not the same."
