Should NFL Division Winners with Losing Records Be Allowed in the Playoffs? A Poll and Proposal.

The Seattle Seahawks have just defeated the St Louis Rams to win the comical NFC West this year, with a losing record of 7-9. Yet, by existing NFL rules, they will get to host a playoff game next week. Should this rule be changed?

My personal feeling is yes, it should. However, I have an appreciation for “business” to involve teams from all parts of the country to maintain a true “national” interest in the game, so I propose a compromise.

Division winners should get in as they currently do. However, Division winners without a winning record (so .500 won’t cut it) should not be allowed to host a playoff game.

You still keep the national interest this way because the team is still in. Their fans will just have to travel or watch it on TV.

I think that’s just sick that Seattle got in with a 7-9 record and gets to host a playoff game. I want to see a competitive playoff game, not a butt kicking. Furthermore, it’s an absolute insult to all the good teams in the NFC with better records than the Seahawks.

You know, I thought football was a man’s game. Alas, if it were, the Seahawks should man up and let someone else in the NFC get in, or offer to travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints. But maybe it’ll be appropriate that their fans will get to see the Saints kick their butts as a lasting momento to end the season.

But to be a man, I’ll congratulate the Seahawks on making the playoffs and stepping up when they needed to and win a do or die game. I will thoroughly enjoy their annihilation next week.

What do you think of this rule about automatic playoff hosting for division winners?

There are LOTS of NFL player wallpapers, but relatively few with the team logos. Even the team websites often did not have them, and not in many sizes! As a designer, I love logos and colour schemes of sports teams and so I compiled this collection.

I did not create these wallpapers, for the most part, except for some I made from graphics I found online. I did adjust many of the wallpapers for more richness in colour, took out advertising and especially adapted many to their sizes here since most were not of this size.

Enjoy!

There are tons of NFL player wallpapers, but relatively few with the team logos. Even the team websites tend not to have them, and certainly not in many sizes! As a designer, I love the logos and colour schemes of sports teams and so for anyone else who does, or perhaps you’re looking for a logo to cap off your set of player wallpapers for your screen saver, then you’re in luck!

I don’t know how many people out there have these huge monitors, but I suspect there aren’t many. Furthermore, I suspect many of those huge monitor owners are designers who probably make their own wallpaper. But let’s just see if there are many NFL fans with 2560 x 1600 pixel monitors looking for these wallpapers.

I did not create these wallpapers, for the most part, but for some made from graphics I found online.

I mean, don’t you hate it when you find a wallpaper and it’s not available in your monitor size?
