What would make it really interesting if every player had to sit out at least one game every season when healthy. Lots of intrigue when to sit your best players. Would teams find that offensive to them and play harder? |

At 48% the players receive 3% per game (48% divided by 16 games). At 48.5 the players receive 2.85% per game (48.5% divided by 17 games). |

NFL is just a money grab and this new change is stupid. So...44% of the league makes the playoffs? Only a matter of time before we see a 6-10 team hosting a playoff game. But hey, it’s more revenue for the league so it must be done.

So it would've been this year:
Ravens Bye Chiefs vs Steelers Patriots vs Titans Texans vs Bills Ravens vs Titans Chiefs vs Texans Chiefs vs Titans Chiefs win the Super Bowl... nothing changes. It makes the 2 seed play on Wild Card weekend but have no difference in how the playoffs actually plays out unless the 7 seed beats the 2 seed at home... It also makes it to where the Chiefs play on more game to possibly get hurt against the dirty Steelers... Thanks NFL. It's just more money for the owners, that's all it is. |

Are you paying attention? This new CBA is almost tailor made for our upcoming dynasty. Huge expanded cap Separate QB cap that limits the impact of QB salary Only the top team gets a bye Be excited about this stuff. |

They haven’t said anything about a QB cap being legit?

I don't like it. Almost half the league making the playoffs? The playoffs should be special. The top teams going at it and all that. Not the slightly-above-mediocre teams squeaking in.

I dislike cutting to one bye team, even if that helps us for the foreseeable future. The #1 seed already has a big advantage with home field. This system will produce more meaningless games between slightly above average teams while the #1 seed sits and rests.

Yeah, that's the part I hate the most. I can see it screwing us over as much as helping us. Would have forced us to play three games this year, which I think we would have still won... but another game's worth of injury risk and fatigue could easily screw everything up.

Something like almost 90% of Super Bowl participants were 1 and 2 seeds. It’s a huge advantage.
A 2 seed should not be punished like this. One team getting the top seed is horrible for the playoff format. It’s a weak structure that gives power to 14% of the field instead of 33%. |
