Yep. Just imagine the suspense with nearly half the teams getting nto the playoffs. I know Im gonna be on the edge of my seat when some lame ass 7/8 - win team gets in and plays a 12 win team in round 1 and gets their asses kicked, while the 12 win team sustains injuries and gets ****ed going into the next round...The 6 team format with TWO byes was PERFECT. I really think this is a stepping stone to 8 teams getting in and going back to two teams getting a bye. Cant wait for half the league to make the playoffs. Its going to mean so much.

NFL just granted the Cheatriots perpetual access to the playoffs.

This isn't the league trying to help any particular team, it's a money deal - that's it. I havne't liked the idea for a long time, but it is what it is.

How would you give 2 teams a bye with 8 in? The current format is perfect. They are messing it up.

Its two Fn games. Quit your crying. The 17 game season does suck though.

I have advocated for a while now that if the NFL insists on growing the international games there is an efficient way to do it and it could work well with this stupid expanded schedule:
Teams play a normal game on Sunday The next week if their bye International game on Thursday night Next game for the teams is the following Sunday This provides a week and a half between games making the Thursday night games "safer" for the players and also allow time for the travel, etc out of the country. In the current scenario, make these the "17th" game on the schedule against whatever team you would not have played in the previous schedule. This balances the new schedule as well as possible and allows the NFL to continue to pursue games outside of the US. |

There will be 8 teams in the playoffs soon enough. This is a stepping stone to that outcome.

Hate it. Hate everything about it.
