Seriously, the only fair way i'd say is take the bottom four teams in the league (which who knows at this point, could be us) and pair them off with the next lowest team they play (because of the weird determined scheduling. Or somthing liek that. I think its stupid.

Imagine if this were in place last season and we had to play, let's say, the Giants X-mas game in London instead of here.
Imagine how much of a buzz kill that would have been: the team knows it needs to rally to make the playoffs and is doing well, but then it has to travel across the goddamn ocean for a "home" game! There goes all the momentum that the team had built up over the past few weeks, and because of that, there go the playoffs.
Hell, a random shake up like this could have cost the steelers their playoff spot and their Super Bowl win last year.
Just a bad idea.
