Adding games and further randomizing the playoffs is not good for any Chiefs dynasty (and that's exactly what this move does). Wasn't speaking on the rest of the CBA.

Lucky the Dolphins beat the Patriots. Lucky that Pat was not placed on IR after his knee was turned sideways. Injuries happen all the time and a lot of that is pure luck. Last year we were lucky. This year it was the Ravens who didn’t have any major injuries. Playing another game is another opportunity for more injuries. If the players are smart, they’ll demand a 2nd bye week be added to the regular season. These players bodies go through a ton and more players are retiring early. Adding more games does nothing for the good of the league except put money in owners pockets. |

The chances of getting a #1 seed every year are a lot less likely than getting a top 2 seed every year. There's no question that this change hurts the top teams like the Chiefs/Ravens and is better for the mediocre ones.

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. |

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%. |
