It will be interesting to see if there is controversy over the following scenario. Only 1 playoff bye available. The #1 seed plays 9 home games in regular season while the #2 seed plays 9 road games in regular season. The 2 seed loses a close game to a good team on the road and it costs them the #1 seed, while the 1 seed wins a close game at home to clinch the top seed.

This really doesn't seem fair. They already have messed things up with the Thursday night games, teams giving away a home game to play in another country. The short NFL season means that whom you play has such a big impact on the results. Timing of teams bye week has a big impact as well. This really seems like a money grab. Possibly just a temporary solution until they get to 18 games and 8 playoff teams. Might as well let half of the league make it to the playoffs.

The problem with Portland, besides being too close to Seattle, is that the largest stadium is a soccer stadium that only holds 20,000 people. The biggest stadium in the entire state is Autzen, where the Ducks play, and it only holds 54,000 and is 2 hours south of Portland.
