Quote:Just the latest in [BAD WORD REMOVED] poor decisions by Goodell if this happens. 

 

The guy has systematically worsened NFL football since he took over from Tagliabue. 

 

 

With 32 teams, & 12 teams making the playoffs, its perfect. It actually feels like an accomplishment when teams make the playoffs under the current system.

 

I don't want the NFL to feel like the NHL and NBA in terms of making the playoffs. 

I agree completely with this.

 

It's the perfect number of teams in the postseason now.

 

There's enough spots to give fanbases all over the hope of contention late in the season, but it's exclusive enough such that it's saying something when you make the playoffs.

 

Adding another team to each conference only decreases the quality of the product, since inferior teams are more likely to make the playoffs, and increase the likelihood of injury for what would otherwise be a 2nd seeded team.

 

If you increase the number of playoff teams and eliminate the first round bye for 2nd seeded teams, you'd only serve to have some teams rest starters in the late regular season games.
