I agree! Plus, if a team can't do something (win) with 10 weeks of regular season practice plus all the practices before the season even starts, then an extra two days of practice and an extra game (playoff game which they will get pounded) won't help them either. Im willing to bet that a lot of the players on that team would rather have the season end then to have the extra two days of practice in the cold, only to get pounded in the cold, then have a long ride home.

 

Plus these first round games usually do not have a high attendance, not too much interest in MOST of these games.

 

A 2-9 team does not deserve to be in the playoffs. They did nothing to deserve the 48-0 beating that they took. You have teams sitting at home that are WAY better, who finished with .500 records and could have beat many or most of the teams in the playoffs, these are the teams who deserved to get a chance to practice, not a 2-9, 1-9, or 0-10 team like we have seen this year. There is zero logic to awarding a team a playoff spot for mediocrity (I'm sorry, 2-9 is not mediocrity, my bad).

 

If a 2-9 team gets to play, but a 5-5, or in some cases 6-4 team stays home, then let them all play. Play a 4 game season and then start the playoffs..... That makes about as much sense as we have seen over the past couple of years and the 6 divisions is only making it worse. This year it was horrible football over the first weekend of the playoffs....
