Jeremy Schiffres has been the city editor at the Daily and Sunday Freeman in Kingston, N.Y., since late 1990. He joined the Freeman in early 1988 as a copy editor. A native of Rochester and a graduate of SUNY College at Buffalo, Schiffres' previous newspaper gigs were at The Niagara Gazette in Niagara Falls, N.Y., and The Saratogian in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. If you want to keep his attention, be sure to talk about Buffalo-area sports teams, the highs and lows of Elton John's music career or the finer points of making chili -- or just challenge him to a game of Scrabble. Schiffres, 50, lives in Kingston with his wife, Rhona. Their 19-year-old son, Marc, is a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

You do make a valid point. I do not know the strenth of schedule each team had for the 2010 season. The tie breaking system is so complicated to an extent. Altough that may have not bearing on your post. But the New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers should be in the playoffs. Just think if the NYG won the game with PHI. Would we have this conversation as it pertains to the NYG making the playoffs?
A couple of things may further prove that a change may be needed. One, if the Seattle Seahawks lose their first game in the playoffs it does prove and reinforce your point. But then again there is no for sure bet that NY or Tampa would win either. If Seattle goes on to win the Super Bowl, then a change may be needed. But just think of all the hype and stories for Seattle, a team with a losing record winning the Super Bowl. Yes, I know that is a long shot. But it is possible.
This is the first time a losing team has won a division I think, I did not check that stat. I am just not sure that the NFL needs to change the system for a small fish in a big pond at this point. Is it fair? Probably not.
Oops, Seattle won. The overnight conversations on sports tv have begun.
