Whats wrong with the NFL Playoffs

The New Orleans Saints got screwed this year. The NFL clearly had it out for them. It’s not fair that they had the same record as the Tampa Bay buccaneers and didn’t make the playoffs. They even scored more points than Tampa Bay this year. They even beat Tampa Bay two weeks ago on New Years.
I think the Attorney General in Louisiana should sue the NFC south. And if that doesn’t work, they should think about paying a buyout fee and moving to the AFC West, where they can make the same amount of money, but be treated fairly.
If I was a Saints player, I would sit out the 2024 preseason games, ….. why play and get hurt when a game doesn’t mean anything. And that would really be sticking it to the NFL.
Or maybe the NFL should move to a playoff committee format and let the committee select playoff teams in an entirely subjective process. Yeah, how about that?

Sorry they didn't pass the eye test just ask Herbstreet; It was more profitable for someone else to be in.

The NFL goes down a list of criteria to break ties. Unlike the college football playoff committee eye testers.

CFP has a list but give Nicky his way trumps any of it. They won't know what to do now that Nicky is gone.

They did not get screwed. They lost all the tie breakers. Claiming an NFL conspiracy is asinine. Even if the lowly Saints made the playoffs they wouldn’t have made it out of the wild card without a miracle. No elite Qb. Holes in the defense. Lack of an elite receiver. Sure, they have some good receivers but every team does. Not many have Hill or Brown caliber receivers. Face it, post Payton Saints are kinda toothless.

I really think he posted to make a jab at those who complained about FSU not making the CFP and not being serious about the NFL..

Ignorance of the clearly defined tiebreaker rules is no defense. Feel free to educate yourself, link provided. I see that you selectively left out that the Saints lost to the Bucs earlier this season. https://www.nfl.com/standings/tie-breaking-procedures

The New Orleans Saints didn't get screwed. They knew the objective criteria the league uses to get into the playoffs and the Saints fell short of it
On the other hand, Florida State DID get screwed bc the system that left them out bypassed all their objective accomplishments and relied on their subjective opinions to make their decision which is wrong and can never be consistent

Hey Nick, u might wanna look at the selection committee’s criteria as posted at their website.
Then come back and talk about FSU’s objective accomplishments.

Why a committee, they get paid off also, see college FB playoff committee 2023, they were bought and paid for by sport media, mainly by ESECPN!!!

Oh my heavens, every sport has tiebreakers. If Nola was good enough they would have made it.

I appreciate the attempt at humor, but swing and a miss for me.

Never ever solely stream any playoff game again - all must be on network tv channels available to all!
