What do you guys think, is it a good idea?  I think its inevitable that it will happen and I don't see it making it to the equation this season.  Next year or at the latest two years from now I think we do see an expanded playoffs.  I don't mind it personally as I love playoff football in the NFL.  14/32 teams is beginning to push the envelope though.

 

It begs the question: When is enough, enough?

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.

It's going to come down to money vs. player health i think.. It kinda waters down the whole playoff experience though in my opinion.

ESPN paid 100 million to broadcast one playoff game.

 

It's happening.

I hope they don't do this, but when there's an opportunity for the league to make more money, that's usually the path they follow.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Yeah I heard that yesterday on ESPN..

So if the Playoff pool is going to increase by one per each Conference, does this mean that technically speaking a Division can get all four teams into the Playoffs? Anyone do the math on that yet?

---

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

I voted no, the ratio is fine the way it is. Maybe if anything they tweak the home/away scenarios as to where the playoff games occurs.

---

Looking to troll? Don't bother, we supply our own.

 

 

I say no; because it just lessens the credibility of making the playoffs. However, I see the league approving it. Solely due to more games = more money. Financially it makes sense. However, to the game and to the players sustainability, it does not.


GO JAGS!

Let's Get Em!!!! Go Jags!

There will only be one team in each conference getting the bye week in the playoffs, under the new system, should it happen, IIRC. 

 

 

I remember when there used to be as many as 3 teams earning bye weeks. Winning the division earned you a bye week back in the 80's...

 

The 80's were yet again the golden age of something else

I have no problem with this.  It only gives us a better chance of making it.

I'd rather make the playoffs when it actually feels like an accomplishment....not the way the NBA and NHL do it.

It waters down the achievement.

Yeah all 4 teams could go 13-3 and the extra wildcard could get the 3rd in. If my maths is correct. (There is a 90% chance I'm wrong as I am 8/10 times).

---

I'm pretty sure the NFL is doing this to screw the Jags.

---

Not a fan of the idea.  I think 6 playoff games in one week is a bit much.  

---

I was wrong about Trent Baalke. 

If it aint broke don't fix it

---

If they expand the playoffs they should expand the league.

---

Time for 2 championships: regular season and tournament. Everyone is eligible for both. Best record in the regular season gets a title then we have a 32 team tournament seeded by record.

 

If they play it right they can parlay a 26 game regular season and 5 rounds of the playoffs tournament into 36 weeks of play every year.

 

Then 5 weeks of Free Agency.

 

5 weeks of Draft hype

 

6 weeks of training camp/pre-season games.

 

We can have a world with no offseason!!!!!!!!!!!!!
