Getting rid of division games and even divisions would make the playoffs much fairer...

The NFL is only serious about making more money for the owners. I'd bet some owners don't even care about winning anymore.

I have to tell you Jeff, I no longer trust them.  This is the first time in my life that I have lost my faith in the integrity of game.  Some of the things I have seen the Commish doing and the way the NFL refs have been officiating the game and some of the weird things I have witness in games, I am at a point where if things continue down this road, I might stop buying the NFL ticket and NFL merchandise.

NFL.... WWE.... same whore different dress. I do believe that certain outcomes are arranged. There is no way a team looks as good as they can one week and then as bad as they can another week later. The owners wanted parity. They want all the teams to be in contention for playoff spots.... it sells tickets and merchandise. Look at the NFC South... it is a perfect example of the modern NFL.

Yesterday was a perfect example of the WWE wanting a certain team to win for $$$$$. The Bungals Marvin Lewis throws a challenge flag because Tampa Bay had 12 men on the field. He was told that it wasn't challengeable, and took/gave them a time out anyway. Meanwhile, the replay booth takes it upon itself to review the challenge that they said Marvin couldn't do. A big play that could have won the game for the Bucs was penalized and backed up. If that's the case, coaches should just throw the red flag under two minutes on pass interference, defensive holding...etc that are not called by these worthless refs. This bone headed, money making rule just boosted the Bungals up in the standings and more $$$$ for the WWE/NFL..  I've said for years that the league was corrupt. I think now I am 110% correct.

So a 15 game season? I'm OK with that. The playoffs for a fall game go too deep into the winter for my taste anyway. But how do they decide which teams have 8 home games and which have 7?

Some of the worst officiated games in my life were games where the Brown's got screwed.  Funny thing is, that never bothed me as bad as when the Steelers get ripped off.  LOL  Sorry.

Didn't they use a Pop Warner Official once for a Cleveland game?  I think he out-officiated the regular NFL officials so they decided never to use him again.
