Yep. They'll fix it when 8 teams get in. :shake:

My thoughts exactly. And it's been great since 2002.

I hate both proposals.

Top seed in each conference so two teams total.

Well. Looks like it's a final decision. I don't care as of now

If you want an extra playoff game, then let 8 teams in and keep the top two get a bye.

Makes sense that they waited till year 101 to do this.
A new cycle

Half the league making the playoffs seems too much.

This may sound like a dumb question, but how would that bracket work?

6 teams play the first week and 3 win and 2 byes...

Maybe all 4 division winners get a bye and then the next 4 best records get in and fight amongst themselves for the right to play the division winners?

I kinda like that...

league did it so they can get Raiders in the playoffs with the move to Vegas, Among other reasons of course

This is about money and nothing else. Watering down the playoffs. Greedyass owners.

in part, you can blame legal gambling. This gives them so much more leverage to screw people with lower seeds winning early rounds, like The Titans this last year.
watered down? makes it beefier and more fun actually. And like you said, Money

One team from both. The nfc and afc seed get byes.

It’s terrible. Either get rid of them completely or keep the current format,

We have the best QB and best team. How is that horrible for us?

Yep, keep fixing it until it is broke. :(


I blame King Karl for this, he was always pushing for more teams in the playoffs.

You’d still end up eventually with an odd number of teams. There would be 2 winners from the WC round but 4 division winners. There would need to be 12 playoff teams per conference to be able to award all division winners a bye.
