I could understand it if they were to expand which is certainly a possibility.

I've always felt that 12 teams, whether in a 28 team league, or a 32 team league, was too many teams in the playoffs.
Expanding the playoffs is just a stupid ****ing idea.

Not in my opinion.
The playoffs should be reserved for the best teams that earned the right to compete for the championship. We have teams that get hot late in the season winning championships despite a fairly mediocre season on a fairly consistent basis.

Expanding the playoffs would probably just make this more likely.

They still have to beat the cream of the crop in the playoffs to get to the Super Bowl - so what's your point?

Ok but some of those might be the best team but for whatever reason (injuries) they may have struggled early in the season but came on towards the end of the season.

But regardless of the reason for that mediocrity, teams should not be rewarded for it.

Might as well make it 24 teams. That way, everybody will know who is going to make the playoffs before the first games when you include almost everybody but the worst teams who can't seem to ever find a way to drag their pitiful asses into our brand-new, ginormous playoff system. Other than more money to the NFL, I don't see the benefit here. FAX |

The real answer is this will lead to more games and more TV money. The owners have realized they can keep squeezing this goose because people love football. Wonder how far back this would push the Super Bowl into February.
It really just depends on the year. If it was 16 teams, the 6-7 Jets would currently be in the AFC playoffs, and the 9 seed Cleveland Browns would be the first team out right on their heels. Most of the league would still be in the hunt at this point. |

I would just like to take a moment to say that I fully recognize that my previous post makes no sense whatsoever.
Thank you for your time and attention. FAX |
