In the NFL generally it takes a couple of times on the floor before it's got a real shot at happening. I don’t think this year can be a true test of if the rule will eventually pass.

There would have been nothing worse than the NFL attempting to artificially control late season games by creating some bogus new rule. Thank god!!!

They would still get to rest their starters for winning the division. They would just be resting for an away game.

The Steelers got a reward for being in the crappy AFC north with the 7-9 Bungles and the 5-11 Ravens. So if they are going to give the steelers reward with a home game then the Jags should get the better draft pick. Not the Steelers.

The Bucs were clearly the worst team of the 6 NFC playoff teams in my opinion. The NFC south was clearly the worst division in the NFL. The argument is that team will get punished for being in a strong division but the opposite was true last year. The NFC East and AFC South were the 2 strongest divisions by sending 3 teams each into the playoffs but the Jags and Giants got screwed out of home playoff games.

I believe there has to be some sort of prize for winning your division and rule changes such as this ignore things like competitive balance amongst divisions. In the end I believe it has the potential to penalize teams who come from stronger divisions while rewarding those playing in a weaker divisions. As a fan I am against this change.

Of course, that's the one flaw in the wild-card system anyway - but teams that miss out on the wildcard were not "unfairly" kept out--next time, win your damn division!
