The last game of the regular season wrapped up a few hours ago, and it was determined that a team without a winning record would not only be going to the NFL Playoffs, but hosting one of its' games. The Seattle Seahawks defeated the St. Louis Rams in what was an absolutely awful game from beginning to end, where a lone touchdown was the deciding factor.
The Seahawks will host the Saints next week in which will probably be Seattle's only playoff game this season, but left out in the cold are the New York Giants, who finished tied with Green Bay, but lost out due to losing last week's head-to-head with Green Bay. The Giants were three games better than Seattle, but because each division must have at least one winner representative in the Playoffs, they got the short end of the stick. It's a product of the system that something like this has to happen, and while I don't like the Giants, I think something like this should be avoided in the future. Bad teams shouldn't deserve to be in the Playoffs. When your team can't muster a winning record, you just don't belong.
