Schefter: **New NFL Playoff Structure - 1 BYE, 7 Teams per Conference**
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">NFL playoff structure is about to be changed. Under the current CBA proposal, seven teams from each conference will make the playoffs, with only bye per conference, sources tell ESPN. It would go into effect this upcoming season.

That’s stupid
|
But why?

Also makes those week 17 games matter that much more. |
Stop messing with it.
|
Uhh, that's assuming this even gets voted through. How much is the NFL going to give the players to facilitate this?
|
**** that
|
When they talked about this before, it was in relation to a 17 game schedule (possibly with 2 bye weeks) with only 2 preseason games.
More regular season and playoff games equals more money. Also 2 overseas games per week |

****ing hate that.
1 seeds to the Super Bowl every single year just about. |

The silver lining....
More games = more revenue = more cap space = Chiefs keep Jones comfortably. |

Of course, now that we have our QB, I'd rather them just keep it at 6 with two byes. |

I guess if there was ever a good time for this shit as Chiefs fans, the time is now...
|
Quit ****ing shit up.
|
Under this scenario we wouldn't have gotten a bye this season.
Also the 1 seed has a laughably huge advantage. |
To give just one team that big of an advantage over the rest is just stupid. Football is the only major sport with a playoff bye to begin with. Baseball has a Wildcard game to get into the playoffs but that is completely different. You don't see NBA or MLB teams getting the first round of the playoff off just because they have the 1 seed. I don't have a problem with the NFL having first round byes but for just 1 team to get it is a garbage idea

Hate the change, but I do think it sets up well for a Mahomes led team. |

Why have a system where a team gets a bye at all? |
Yeesh.
I can't wait for all the cherished records to fall. |

If they had this last season....the 8-8 Steelers and the 9-7 Rams would have made the playoffs.

I wonder how they're planning to schedule the 17 games. The current structure is really elegant, so it's hard to figure out where the 17th matchup is going to come from.

If that many teams are gonna make the playoffs, and only one bye exists in each conference, I wanna play as many AFC opponents as possible. |

1st place AFC team plays 1st place AFC team. Same thing for 2nd...3rd....4th. |

We would have hosted Pittsburgh on WC weekend this season had this existed.
I will say, WC weekend having games at noon, 3:30, and 7:30 on Saturday and Sunday is going to be pretty sweet. |
They had to find some way to get the Beady led Raiders in the playoffs.
|
I wouldn't mind a couple more expansion teams though.
Don't care about this stuff in general. They won't do something drastic |
Great idea. One I have wanted for years. Makes regular season mean more. We get 3 wild card games per day to open the playoffs. Makes winning and get the #1 seed mean something.
|
I've been predicting this exact format for years.

Rosters need to be expanded if they are adding extra games to both regular season and playoffs.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Can’t really bitch at that |
As the team most likely to become the next Pats and secure a bye every year - this sucks. It's a lot easier to finish top two than best record every year. Some team always gets red hot like the Ravens this year.

Quote:
New England was the 1 seed so damn much the last 10-15 years. |
17 is uneven.
Will this create more problems in tie breakers? |
I can live with 17 games, but one team getting a bye is bullshit. Strength of schedule is too much of a factor that penalizes strong play and benefits mediocrity if only one team earns a bye.
Keep the playoff structure the same. |

I hate this. This is being watered down just like the NBA where everyone gets in the playoffs.
Depth is going to be more important than ever before. 2 more games for 12 playoff teams is huge. They better put a 2nd bye week in the regular season. No way should a team play 10+ games without a bye. It’s not good for players |
Stupid. Don't like it at all. Whatever I'm just a fan. Nothing I can do about it.
|
What a stupid idea. If anything, they should change the playoff structure so that it's based on record, not divisions. No 8-8 winner of a dogshit division should host an 11-5 wildcard team. No 10-6 team should sit home while a 7-9 division winner gets a pass.
But the ****ers will do what they want. 4321 |

If they really are going to do 17 game seasons then I want them to have two universal bye weeks and to expand every roster; game day, active, and practice squad. I would prefer that they go: seven games/universal bye/five games/universal bye and trade deadline/five games/playoffs.

Quote:

After a 17 game season all playoff teams should get a bye week.
|
Bah! Just leave it alone. As usual, the allure of money ****s shit up.

Quote:
More games = more revenue = more cap space = increased player salary demands = all will equalize But i hate the idea, nearly half the teams can back into the playoffs after mediocre seasons. NBA style |

You stupid mother ****ers.
God Damnit. Let's allow half the mother ****ing teams in the mother ****ing playoffs. Greedy cock sucking, pig ****ing, ****faces. |
YAY! **** THE REGULAR SEASON!
WHO GIVES A MOTHER ****?!?!?! |

I don't think the owners would want dark weeks in the middle of the season
|
Just imagine, they are about to dip their greedy hands in gambling.
So let's tally up the money. 16 more games, check, two extra MASSIVELY bet playoff games, check. I love football, but I woulnd't cry if each of these owners lost it all. **** them. |
Owners offering an extra .5% of revenue to do the 17th game: https://twitter.com/adamschefter/sta...857504257?s=21

Lack of star power in the playoffs due to injuries is very exciting.
|
Owners increase their direct revenue by 6% for the extra regular season game.
Let's say they add a bye, so there will be another week of added TV revenue that gets spread out. 5.8% increase. I don't know what the playoff games bring, but add that to the pot. But hey, they will give the players .5% of that. ****ing pathetic. |
The owners are pushing for more games and that puts more stress on the health of the players. If they want more money then they can give something up for it, and I'm fine with an extra bye week and expanded rosters as the exchange because I think that will directly improve player health.

More revenue = more cap room = Jones WILL BE RETAINED!!!

I’m not against your thought process, just saying it’s not that drastically in favor of the owners |

Less teams getting a bye is HORRIBLE for us.
