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

I think this is bad for Chiefs fans. It makes it more likely the Chiefs will have to face 3 teams instead of 2 to get to the SB and with the expectation that the Chiefs will be really good for a while, the benefit of an expanded field is wasted on them. This is good for all the 7-9 to 9-7 teams.

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

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.
