"And also Andy Dalton, man. 'cause we couldn't have done it without that dumbass do what he did, man. Nah, but mostly I am just joking, but he was terrible, though."

There are 4 would be 3rd wildcards with a better record than a div winner since 2002, all in the last 5 seasons
2013 Arizona 10-6 over GB 8-7-1
2011 Tennessee 9-7 over Denver 8-8
2010 TB + NYG (idk tie breaker) 10-6 over Seattle 7-9
2009 NE 11-5 over San Diego 8-8

i am torn because i like the idea of more chances for the eagles to make the playoffs, but at the same time i don't want to have to watch them lose in the playoffs more

[Serra]

Not that I think this should justify including another team, what's the record of the wildcard teams? This year 3/4 won, but how have they done in the past few years?

[Krandor]

Wild Card teams have made it to the Super Bowl 10 times winning 4 of them, most recent being the Packers in '10.

[Krandor]

And fwiw, the last 3 wild card teams to make it won (Steelers, Giants, Pack)

[notorious bum]

This idea is awful. Let's hope there's enough backlash to have it reversed after the experiment fails.

I have a way to make football more fun: Lower the price of admission and concessions. *sigh*

is it possible to lose in the playoffs more than once a year every year for ever and ever amen?

[Marootsoobutsu]

Do wild cards usually have more wins than division champions -- obviously not the first and second place teams, but compared to the bottom two, how do they fare?

Since 1970, there have been 35 or 36 teams that have missed the playoffs while having a better record than a division winner in the same conference. I'd need to go back and look at how many of those were from the decade+ when there were 3 conferences and only 1 wildcard team, and how many of them in that time were 9-7 beating 8-8 teams. But frankly, the need isn't big, and I foresee the #1 seed suddenly becoming a much, much bigger deal. That divisional homefield has been the surest advantage in all of sports since 1990; only one team having it is going to jump their odds.

This just in: Rodgers greatest guy ever; Dalton a salty sore loser who won't admit he sucks
