I was under the impression that no new posts were allowed unless they discussed the CBA or restructuring Lavar's deal.

j/k - good post!

You hit on the key point why I follow football more closely than any sport - each and every game matters. In baseball, you could lose 16 games in a row and still make the playoffs. I don't know that the NFL is striving for 8-8 parity, though. I think they are striving more for the "any 5-11 team could be 11-5 the next year" parity. More importantly, I think they are trying to avoid any team being 14-2 every year. However, I get the impression they don't care too much about a team being 2-14 every year.
