NFL week 13

In week 13, the Packers and the Bears both get wins.  This still leaves Green Bay one game behind.  The west division teams in the league are starting to become .500 teams.  The Patriots and Jets game is tomorrow night.  That is one of the biggest games of the regular season.

The biggest game of the year for the Ravens and Steelers was tonight.  The Ravens were on top all game long.  Until 3 minutes left in the game did the Steelers score their only touchdown.  The Ravens came back to the Steelers 30 yard line.  On 4th and 2, Ravens Quarterback Joe Flacco under throws a pass to give the Steelers the ball back with under 40 seconds left in the game.  That is when I decided to turn off the game.  The Ravens are in second place in their division and hold a wild card spot as of right now.

It isn't looking good for the Packers.  They are 1 game behind the Bears and still are behind the wild card teams.  If the Eagles or the Giants lose next week and with a Packer win, the Packers will gain wild card spot.  The Falcons almost have locked up a playoff spot.  No other team in the NFC West will make it to the playoffs besides the division champion.

The NFL should change the rule about playoffs.  If a better record team doesn't make the playoffs because a mediocre team that barely wins their division sneaks in, that isn't fair to that team.  I think playoffs should mostly be based on conference standings instead of divisional standings. Just because a team wins their division doesn't mean that they deserve to go to the playoffs.
