I think if a 7-9 Rams team makes the playoffs over a Bucs/Packers/Bears/Saints team that has at the minimum a winning record, the NFL might need to consider rethinking the playoff format so that teams with winning records would make it over teams that win their division but have a losing record. It's not fair that a 10-6 or 11-5 team doesn't make the playoffs because their division is stacked while a potentially 7-9 or 8-8 team makes the playoffs simply by virtue of being the least-worse team in it's own division.

Now the Rams are obviously an up and coming team, but if they finish 7-9 I don't think they would deserve the playoffs over a 10-6 team coming out of the NFC South or North.
