Goodell: support for expanded playoffs is "tremendous"
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...is-tremendous/

Quote:
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell seems fully on board with adding two playoff teams.

Although the owners have not yet voted to expand the postseason to 14 teams, it sounds like just a matter of time, based on the comments Goodell made at the league meeting today.

“We had a good discussion on it on several fronts,” Goodell said. “As you know, the Competition Committee has been looking at this for a couple of years. We have discussed it in various committees, including broadcasting. We had a full discussion on the floor with the owners and other executives this week. I think there’s a tremendous amount of interest in this, possibly even to the point of support, but there are also things we still want to make sure we do it right. We’ve been very incremental in trying to do this, but we believe competitively it could make even our races toward the end of our season even more exciting with more teams vying for playoff positions, which is great for our fans. We still want to do some additional work, including talking with the players association. We have a scheduled meeting set for April 8. This will be one of the things we’ll probably discuss and then we’ll also have to talk to broadcast partners and there are some scheduling issues that we still need to work through.”

It seems unlikely that the league will expand the playoffs for the 2014 season. But it looks like it’s going to get done in 2015.
Every time this guy opens his mouth, Cuban looks more and more like a genius.

You're adding one week to a playoff run, and paying them the same amount of money. There's no way the player's union would stand for that.

Here's the teams that would have made it in the last 10 years.

2013:
Steelers (8-8)
Cardinals (10-6)

2012:
Steelers (8-8)
Bears (10-6)

2011:
Titans (9-7)
Bears (8-8)

2010:
Chargers (9-7)
Giants (10-6)

2009:
Texans (9-7)
Falcons (9-7)

2008:
Patriots (11-5)
Buccaneers (9-7)

2007:
Browns (10-6)
Vikings (8-8)

2006:
Broncos (9-7)
Packers (8-8)

2005:
Chiefs (10-6)

Do you see any Super Bowl caliber teams here? The 11-5 Pats were led by Cassel that year.

I feel like we were pretty good in 05. That was the year we slaughtered the Bengals in week 17, right?

Who am I kidding? We'd have been booted after the first round as per usual..

Is that the year we went 10-6 and needed Detroit to beat Pittsburgh in week 17 to get in? Vermeil's final season I believe? I was pretty disappointed that year. I felt like if we made it in we could have made somethin happen. I at least wanted Vermeil to get one more shot at it with us.

Why the hell would they expand just to let 8 or 9 win teams in? Does anyone think those teams are serious contenders? I mean, what is the point of that?

Not necessarily. They could just limit the bye week to only the 1 seed.

WC round would be 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5.

Divisional would be 1 vs (lowest remaining seed), (next highest at home vs next lowest).

They don't have to add an extra week of games, lol.

Who knows. Several of the teams that won the superbowl were fairly unexpected.

I almost wonder if they should just go ahead and make it 8 teams. That's where it's going anyway. No byes, division winners get homefield first round. Just make that first weekend the March Madness of football. Games at 1/4/7/10 PM on Saturday and Sunday.

I'm not sure I like only one team having the bye. If you're going to make this thing a crapshoot, let's go all the way. It will definitely get more teams involved in the overall playoff race.

The argument against expanding is you are probably going to slide the "drama" in the final week to a bunch of teams fighting for 7-9 to 9-7 records. The AFC has only had 6 teams with winning records each of the last two years.
