NFL Playoff Seeding - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Why the hell is the seeding based on how many wins a team has and not based on the points they scored throughout the season? In 2008, the Saints played well all season and were like 30 points ahead of everyone but because they only have 8 wins they finish outside of the playoffs?

Seems idiotic to me. The Titans were 14th in points and they got the #1 seed. Makes no fuckin' sense.

If I have to point it out, it loses its luster. I won't pull a Jay Leno.

I think it's a hockey reference, but I'm not really sure.

Because football is a game played between 2 teams, they don't throw all 32 teams on 1 field and say have at it.
