I've been talking about it for a while now even in the seasons Dallas didn't make the playoffs. The current four team, four divisions in the conference format has greatly reduced the impact of winning ones division. I'd prefer some reasonable changes. The current system could hurt or help a team. A modified system could hurt or help a team. Dallas may be the one helped and they may also be the one hurt in the current system in any give year or in a modified system. I'm not hoping for changes just to benefit the Cowboys. Just don't want to see mediocrity rewarded. Teams with losing records hosting a playoff game is rewarding mediocrity in my opinion and has only come about since the Texans joined the league and the current division format was introduced.
It is very rare for a losing team to make the playoffs. How many times has it happened? I believe 5 times in history. Washington was 7-9 hosting Tampa in 2020. Now the tables have turned. NFC South is terrible and will host a home game against NFC East.
