Yeah, but under the old system it was “get a top two seed, it’s that simple.”
Fewer byes for great teams=more playoff games=more chances to get upset. Do you think the Patriots would’ve been as successful over these last couple decades if only 1 team got a bye? They were the 2 an awful lot as well. |

We had that this year and we wouldn't have gotten a bye based on the new format. Plus, you can be the #2 seed just based on being unlucky or having to face the toughest schedule. Additionally some teams are going to get an one more home game than the rest of them. Total bullshit.

Adds randomness to who the champion is. Less likely for the best team to actually win the championship.

Absolutely this.
The CBA changes would be pitch-perfect for the Chiefs to have a dynasty capable team. Jones, Watkins and about improved IOL and LB core is a team dominant enough to almost even out the odds with an added game in the playoffs. Would there be a record Mahomes wouldn’t obliterate under this format? I hate the playoff changes, btw - but with Mahomes who even cares. Last edited by Chiefspants; 02-20-2020 at 06:23 AM.. |

Actually it probably helps the odds of the one seed, since it increases the odds that the two seed will get knocked off before the conference championship.

It figures that right when the Patriots get bad and the Chiefs get good, they take away a bye and add an extra playoff team. Good way to protect the Pats’ records.
