You nailed it with that one. Fans of teams that need help making the playoffs are pissed.
Maybe the NFL should eliminate the Wild Card format altogether and go with some type of lottery at the end for non-division winners.
I’m not sure what the solution is, if there is a solution. I’ve identified the Colts and the Patriots as 2 teams that didn’t give their all. I didn’t see the Bengals game. There might be other teams as well.
The Colts and Patriots should be understanding now that there are consequences for not giving their all. I’m not saying the rules should be changed. But I’m less of a fan of the Colts and the Patriots than I was before their games.
So many teams in the AFC didn’t play to win that I don’t know who to root for in some of these games. Maybe I don’t care anymore and I don’t watch the games. Bengals vs Jets? The Jets should’ve lost to the Colts or the Bengals. Do I root for the team that doesn’t deserve to be there or the team that tanked? Patriots v Ravens? Ordinarily, I would’ve rooted for the Pats, now I’ll root for the Ravens. Ravens and Chargers. NFC is fine.
