Now, the NFL is going to have 17 regular season games, in addition to three rounds of playoff games featuring 14 of 32 teams, in order to determine a champion? That's insane. The old system of 12 teams was just fine.

Plus, the good teams stand to lose more than the bad teams in a 17 game season with 7 playoff teams per conference.

It's much easier for a great team to stumble than it is for a middling team to win an "upset" but when you're designing the season AND the playoffs for upsets, why even bother watching until the playoffs?
Yep.

Much like basketball (you talked about the NBA, but NCAA is similar) they're moving towards 2 seasons. One season for everybody, and another season just for the good teams. Wait until they expand the playoffs again.
