Or
More games = more revenue = more cap space = increased player salary demands = all will equalize

But i hate the idea, nearly half the teams can back into the playoffs after mediocre seasons. NBA style

More details: Under the current CBA proposal that NFL owners are pushing for, the playoff field would be expanded to seven teams, while the regular season would be increased to 17 games per team, and the preseason shortened to three games per team, per sources.

I think this is bad for Chiefs fans. It makes it more likely the Chiefs will have to face 3 teams instead of 2 to get to the SB and with the expectation that the Chiefs will be really good for a while, the benefit of an expanded field is wasted on them. This is good for all the 7-9 to 9-7 teams.

My POV is that the Chiefs should theoretically be the 1 seed as much or more than any other AFC franchise for the next 10+ years, which is going to be a massive advantage if so.

Hate the change, but I do think it sets up well for a Mahomes led team.

Quit ****ing shit up.

Under this scenario we wouldn't have gotten a bye this season.

Also the 1 seed has a laughably huge advantage.

To be fair being the 1 seed they earned that.

Why?

Why have a system where a team gets a bye at all?

Gotta make the regular season matter.

To give just one team that big of an advantage over the rest is just stupid. Football is the only major sport with a playoff bye to begin with. Baseball has a Wildcard game to get into the playoffs but that is completely different. You don't see NBA or MLB teams getting the first round of the playoff off just because they have the 1 seed. I don't have a problem with the NFL having first round byes but for just 1 team to get it is a garbage idea

One team in both the NFC & AFC, or just one team total from both?

Top seed in each conference so two teams total.

It’s terrible. Either get rid of them completely or keep the current format,
