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?

Hey, we'll hopefully own the only BYE week for the next 15 years.

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

The owners are already conceding giving up a higher percentage than last time

****ing hate that.

1 seeds to the Super Bowl every single year just about.

JFC :facepalm:

Going from 47 to 48.5 isn't enough.

HEY IT PUTS MORE MONEY IN THE OWNER'S POCKETS.

The silver lining....

More games = more revenue = more cap space = Chiefs keep Jones comfortably.

Agree. They'd be better off making it 8 and letting the top seeds pick their opponents to reward them.

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