Explain, I guess I am too young to remember the good ol days....
They were not the good old days. the teams that exist now obviously can afford to exist and stay afloat. There is nothing wrong with the playoff system at all. Pretty simple concept, if you win your division you go to the playoffs. and there are 2 wild cards for each Conference, they are the two none division holders with the best records. Couldn't be simpler or more fair.
well, maybe if it means Manning will lose in the first round, the system is ok.
an 11-5 team missing the playoffs while an 8-8 team hosts a playoff game and the system works well? Sure, it's fair, but it doesn't work well.
last year, the AFC east was seen as the weakest divisionThose are the breaks.
Some divisions are strong, and some are weak. It doesn't stay the same forever. And it's not like 11-5 teams perpetually miss the playoffs, it's only happened a handful of times.

it also helped that the 8-8 and 9-7 teams were at homeYeah, that's what I was going to say as well. I like the system as it is, and it's kind of hard to argue away the 8-8/9-7 teams now that they've won.
Baltimore v Tennessee.
Tennessee will win for the same reason why Arizona beat Atlanta and Philadelphia beat Minnesota - Baltimore has a rookie QB and the Titans do not, and the Titans have a better, or at least more experienced coach who has been to the Super Bowl.
How long do I have to keep my sig up anyway?
The Pats are my team but the rules are the rules. The Pats didn't beat the teams they needed to , to get into the Play offs, see them next year!!
