Agree with hifi here. Vick's season can't compare to Brady's, even before Monday night's loss. Maybe Vick deserves to start for the NFC in the Pro Bowl (although I'd rather have Aaron Rodgers), but Brady's season has been phenomenal.

Rodgers wasn't even selected - he's an alternate. He'll probably go, since of the 3 QBs picked, one will likely be in the Superbowl.

Yep, I know. Just sayin' though. And since you're in WI, you probably agree with me. ;D

Like him or not, Bill Belichick now stands alone among NFL coaches with four 14 win seasons.

Well, it's officially here! No, not the playoffs, but rather two 10-6 teams home watching a 7-9 team hosting a playoff game from their same conference. And people don't think something needs to be addressed.
Sheesh ...
But in fairness, my best suggestions would involve either 2 more teams making the playoffs from each conference, or simply taking away the automatic host for division winners. But either one would be better.

Leave it the way it is, faults and all, unless you want to eliminate divisions altogether.

But either one would be better. Yes, but it's an unbalanced schedule. Until you "fix" that, it's fair. The Giants blew a huge lead against Philly and were destroyed by Green Bay before barely beating Washington. Tampa lost to Detroit at home. Neither team seems to be a stealth Super Bowl contender. Like someone's sig file says, make your layups.

All the civilized world must root for the Pack on Sunday. Would be poetic justice if the Dog-Killer gets taken out by a pack.

I've just had to go through several weeks of Philly fans being as obnoxious as Red Sox fans -- or even more so, if that's humanly possible -- about Cliff Lee.
So I wouldn't mind at all if the Beagles got an inglorious exit from the post-season, Vick or no Vick.
They're certainly not going into the playoffs with even the tiniest bit of momentum. The New Meadowlands Miracle seems to be ancient history. And I don't think Charles Woodson is going to be scared of DeSean Jackson at all.

How many more have to die?

After seeing what Antione Winfield did to Eagles with blitz--I think Woodson (best blitzing DB in league) will be salivating. I like Packers matchups against Eagles in this one and think they win by 10-14.

The Bucs are 10-6, but they beat 1 winning team -- and that was the Saints who had nothing to play for past the first 10 minutes.
Who cares? With the current setup, Seattle, St Louis, SF, Tampa and NY were all in it towards the end, which generates ticket sales, ratings and excitement. Under your system, the first three aren't.
Wonder which one the NFL likes?

My suggestion was to eliminate the automatic hosting for division winners. My other was to add 2 more playoff spots, resulting in 8 teams from each conference and no more first round byes. What's wrong with that?

Many clubs may be popular, but that doesn't increase membership. Even if so, then how many coaches have 3 Superbowl wins? 16 or 18 games won't change that.
