The NFL should be ashamed if Tampa Bay hosts playoff game

Don’t care, at some point Dallas needs to start winning playoff games regardless of when, where or who…..
We didn’t have gallop or TY when we played them first time plus Dak hadn’t played any
 
A 13 win team will play a single digit win team at their stadium in the playoffs.

The league has been designed around Division rivalries. With playoffs expanded so half the league makes them, they've got to make winning the division mean something, or the NFL regular season becomes the NBA regular season.
 
9-7 division winners
2002 Jets
2006 Seahawks
2008 Cardinals

8-8 division winner
2008 Chargers

7-8-1 division winner
2014 Panthers

7-9 division winners
2010 Seahawks
2020 Commanders
All examples of a terrible rule that should be changed in the offseason.

As it is now, the NFL season means nothing. A 13 win team can't get a home playoff game. Whats the point of playing hard all year if it means nothing.
 
The NBA got rid of divisions mattering in the playoffs, the NFL could as well.

But I know division rivalries historical blah blah blah.

You can't change it.

Divisions and schedules aren't equal.

Dallas didn't even play 18 different NFL teams this year. Everybody plays entirely different schedules outside their division.

There has to be this structure.

In the NBA every team plays every team during the season.

NFL teams don't play 18 teams in the league during the season. They only play 14 different teams each.

Totally different.
 
This doesn't happen often, people need to quit crying about it. Sean Payton on the post game show said since 1970 only 6 teams have won the division with a .500 or below record, and they're 4-2 in the first playoff game.

he should know all about it. HIs 11-5 saints got whipped in Seattle and lost to the 7-9 seahawks.

That is not a bigger deal than a 13 win team having a disadvantage over an 8 win team.

Depends on the season.

New England used to get 6 free wins a year when the Bills, Jets and Dolphins were all 4-win teams.

Meanwhile, the Steelers, Ravens, and Bengals were killing each other in their division.

It has to be this way to work season to season.
 
Bucs should be scared of us .... not the other way.
If we can run which we could t in week one, but Tyler was moved to l t . Now Tyron’s back. Though it seems like the run gave us worse since he came back.

i don't think it's about the OTs ... it's about coaches .. ala Kellen Moore.

we were successfully running the ball vs the Bucs which normally does not happen with their run defense, ..but no Kellen was so intent on pass happying Dak into rythem that he
stop emphasizing the run vs Bucs. .. seem like he did not learn squat since the Vic Fangio blue print in '21.
