We’re only talking one more here. And in that case, I don’t see them changing their approach a whole lot for that. |

should they do away with divisions and just do 2 conferences and have 2 byes during the season?
each team plays everyone in their respective conference, then take the top 8 records from each conference, seed each conference teams , then go about that playoffs that way? top see from each gets a bye? (if they're going to do this stupid 7 teams / 1 bye bs). I'm reaching here....trying to make the 7 team format seem more attractive than it is. (isn't) |

Just raise ticket prices and concession prices by 1/8th and leave things as they are.
People will pay the higher prices to make up for the loss of revenue from the extra games. |

I would rather have 8 teams make it, and keep the 2 byes. That is still stupid too, but not as stupid.
I'd rather have 18 games instead of 17 games to make the home and away equal for all teams. Still, stay with what works in this case. |

Last I heard ticket sales at all NFL games was about 20% of revenue. Could be wrong on the % but I'm not wrong that TV money is why all this exists. If the players want the $5 BILLION in extra pay(they fully know the additional risks to them and their careers), then we as fans should be okay with the plan. |

Their plan is for every team to play once outside the country each year. |

We have a chance to be the 1 or 2 seed consistently for years to come. I want that first round bye. Not a fan of this.

I hadn't thought about this but with 17 games that creates an advantage for half the league who will get more home games.

The problem is, expanding to 8 teams still doesn’t allow you to have the 2 byes. That would create 3 WC games which of course would give you 3 winner to play the 2 bye teams. You’d have to go all the way to 14 teams to get an even number for the 2nd round.

I get that the owners are greedy ****s, but I can't see a reason anyone else would want this. 16 games is enough.
