A four team playoff system that will last the next 11 years
The Indianapolis Colts hold the record for the last decade, 9 appearances in the last 10 years. 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. They did not make the playoffs in 2001. If they make the playoffs in 2010, they will still have 9 appearances in the last 10 years, and will tie the record of the most consecutive playoff appearances in the NFL.
Through the 2008 season, that was the 2003 Atlanta Braves who lost in the NLDS to the Cubs, 3 games to 2.

Three playoff berths over a 40 year period isn't very good. If that kind of record makes them a laughable franchise, then they are. If we look at the last five years only, the team has been more respectable, with a winning record most seasons but losing records the last two.
