Every time you add more playoff teams it debases the regular season. If 24 teams made the playoffs would you pay attention to the regular season at all? Probably not.
20? 18? 16? The hard part is finding the correct balance of teams making the playoff and those not making the playoffs. The fans that will be paying the most attention are the fans of the teams that are close to that cutoff line. If you add more teams than the quality of teams you're paying attention to lowers. This also debases the value of a #1-2 seed. No more bye week to get healthy. More teams resting players in week 17 (or even 15-16) to ensure health for the playoffs. Less interest in those top matchups because they'll all meet in the playoffs anyways (since they're already in). There's many reasons why not (at least in my mind). You're welcome to try to convince me why they should.

Because good luck proposing this to the players Union without forcing a 15 game season. And with a 15 game season, most NFL records become increasingly hard to break and some teams will have one extra home field game, and some will have less.

Why wouldn't the players be in favor of an extra playoff team per conference? |

I think they should go to a 32 team, 16 game playoff format. Once you reach the 16th game they tally the wins and losses for every team. Then they seed the SuperPlayoffs based on the top 12 records, 6 from each conference. I really think a lot of people will get behind this format.

And my guess is only the 1 seeds get a 1st round bye. |
