With the monstrosity that is the NFC West this year, the question if teams below .500 should make the playoffs has become a popular topic. But really, it does it even matter? I mean, this is the first time it might happen, how big of an issue can it be? So what if the Seahawks beat the Rams this Sunday and become the first 7-9 team to win their division. They'll then play a game against one of two far superior teams and likely get decimated, never to be remembered again, outside of trivia books. In the off chance they would actually win a playoff game, wouldn't it make a hell of a story? There's no way the NFL is going to look to ban that, everyone will be watching, ratings would skyrocket and the wallets of the NFL would fill up.
And besides all that, why shouldn't they be allowed in? It's not their fault their division is horrible. It's not their fault they got 1st place in it. What are they supposed to do, say no thanks? They did exactly what everyone is supposed to try to do... win their division and get to the playoffs. Just because they did it with a few more losses doesn't mean they shouldn't be there.
