- Remove the 7th playoff team
- Drop at least 4 teams to help end this shit where entire divisions are pure shit... and then we'd be closer to the actual number of starting QBs in the league (but probably shouldn't drop to 20 teams )

Obviously none of that will ever happen because yay money, but soon enough they'll have 34 or more teams and an international team and 8+ teams in the playoffs and it'll be even more popular.

If you win a division and your recod is worse than a WC team, you lose the home field game.

I've never been crazy about that because it makes the division rivalry games huge. If you do that I think you should just get rid of the divisions and make conferences.

Because the flip side is the schedule isn't balanced. A team could go 12-5 beating up on the AFC South and get a home game over a team that went 11-6 but had to play the AFC West. That's not always the case but I'd rather reward division champs.
