It's things like this that make you wonder if playoff entry should be a bit different. You have the NFC East and South battling it out and they win it so easy.

I think they should do a little restructuring, I mean make a division winner make the playoffs, but giving them a higher seed is too much. It's really ridiculous if a 12-4 team has to go on the road to play an 8-8 division winner.

...at 8-5. They could lose out and end up 8-8 and they would still host a playoff game, at .500.

If that were to happen, they wouldn't be the first 8-8 division winner. The 85 Browns won the old AFC Central with an 8-8 record. They didn't get a home game though, since there were only 5 teams in the playoffs then. And also in 1985, the Broncos went 11-5 and MISSED the playoffs.

If the Panthers can't win it all, the Cardinals are the team I'll be cheering for.

I love to see underdogs prosper, and Kurt Warner is one of the league's true "good guys".

I don't want to play them again. Warner goes off, and they are hard to cover man.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
