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.

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’m sure it would have been one or the other if the players opposed the playoffs expanding, but I highly doubt they did. No reason for them to not want it.

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. |

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.

After a 17 game season all playoff teams should get a bye week.
