Yeah, the 7 seeds have been bad enough, and this year the NFC could technically get a couple .500 or under teams into the playoffs.

It's good for the Chiefs this year though.

Yes, but they're working on it. Add 1 more team in each conference, and there you go, half.

I sure hope not.

But I doubt they will try that any time soon. Heck, it took them forever to expand to more teams (mids 70s until mid 90s). And they talk as though they are perfectly fine with 32 for the foreseeable future.

And I really hated seeing them go to 7 playoff teams, especially since now only the #1 seed gets a bye. But the playoffs expansion was decades in the making.

It’s been a weird year. I feel like defenses are up so offenses are down. But the nfl also has a huge problem with injuries. And bad QBs look really really bad against great defenses.

Normally pro leagues take this and introduce offense friendly rules in the offseason. Wonder if that’ll be the case here. I agree that more teams in contention is good for $ even if it’s uglier to watch. I also feel like Vegas must be making bank on this too because ugly football is harder to predict.

Oddly, a few of the things they've focused on in recent years have hurt offenses.... calling illegal man downfield when a lineman is a step forward, and the 10+ offensive offsides called this year compared to like 2 last year, the weird Jawaan Taylor thing.... shit that has very little to no impact to games.

The NFC is a dumpster fire. Pretty much every playoff team after Detroit, San Fran, Dallas and Philly could have losing records including the NFC South champ.

I absolutely love having playoff games at Arrowhead, especially the AFC Championship game 5 years in a row. But, if it doesn't happen, so be it. If I'm being honest, I have often wondered (and, in a small way, want to see) how Mahomes would do on the road in the playoffs.

Everytime we think a team is dead or out of it, they bounce back.

49'ers are the team to beat at this point-they are firing on all cylinders.

Both the Eagles and Chiefs look like two very tired teams.

This year more than most, it just seems like the regular season doesn't matter.

Wake me up when the playoffs start.

This is franchise can win 10 games a season with its eyes closed. I mean you have to go to 2014 to find our last no 10 win season. And oddly adding the extra game to the schedule and now expanding the number of playoff teams, ten wins gets you in.

Don't get me wrong, I love watching this team every week, but its starting to feel like 17 weeks of preseason. We are working on stuff, developing players, dealing with some injuries. The real football begins in January.

KC or SF. I think Purdy is extremely overrated, but he's better than Janeane Garoppolo ever was and has a tremendous team around him.

Lamar Jackson's brain will limit how far the Ravens go, which likely means one and done for them.

The Cowboys? Please.

No one will know about Purdy until it gets to maximum sphincter time in the playoffs. If he has the Joe Montana gene, he'll be great. If not he'll be just another QB.

Brock Purdy has the best weapons in the NFL. He has had multiple chances to go win games in the fourth quarter and has given the ball away.

People always say things like “this year is just so much different due to xyz going on” but if they say it every year how can it be true? I’m guessing every year it’s basically the same. About half to 2/3 of the teams are split between being good and bad with the other remaining being in the middle.

I took a random season 2004 and compared winning % to this season.

In 2004, 9 teams were above .600. 8 this season.

In 2004, 11 teams finished between .400 and .599. 15 like that this season.

In 2004, 12 teams under .399. 9 this season.

I suspect the only real difference is teams that otherwise would finish under .399 are now trying harder with the extra playoff spot being much more proactive in preventing the team from completely folding by bringing in QBs. Think teams like the Vikings and Browns this season who may have folded in previous seasons.
