Or we could keep status quo and continue with by far the most popular sport in American history…#if it ain’t broke, dont fix it
/money grab

This. How about everyone from Goodell to Lisk quit trying to change the best sport going?

Think they might try a possible MNF Playoff Edition?

I welcome change.

Preferably quarters and half-dollars.

2) Baltimore (12-4) vs. 7) Denver (8-8)

Eesh, that wouldn’t have gone well.

this is the sport that rests players, not because they’re tired, but because it isn’t safe to play football

Nice post Lisk, but the NFL is too money driven to implement such a forward thinking playoff.

Yes, they would have to play a Sunday night game, and probably a Saturday early game, and would have to have two in one time slot IF there were 8 teams in each conference.

You are having to squeeze 8 playoff games in in 2 days. I think.

Depending on what happens the last week of season teams wont know if they get a bye or not. If 7 teams make it in, one team gets the bye, but if 8 teams get in then no teams get a bye?

COonfusing.

Yes, 1 team would get a bye if there were 7. None if there were 8.

Last year, the Titans would have gotten in by winning in week 17 (a game Houston laid down in with nothing to play for). New England would have known they were getting a bye already.

Would have been 1) New England

2) Baltimore (12-4) vs. 7) Denver (8-8)
3) Pittsburgh (12-4) vs. 6) Tennessee (9-7)
4) Houston (10-6) vs. 5) Cincinnati (9-7)

So the opening week of the playoffs is the only weekend really affected.

Current: 4 games
7 teams per conference: 6 games
8 teams per conference: 8 games

No matter what happens with the added teams the divisional round, or second weekend, would still be down to 4 teams per conference like it is now.

It seems like football is too life shortening to play to make its regular season irrelevant. I mean, this is the sport that rests players, not because they’re tired, but because it isn’t safe to play football.

rondoman — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 20:46:56 +0000

Fuck I messed it up.

With 8 teams in each conference getting in you get 4 extra games.

You are having to squeeze 8 playoff games in in 2 days. I think.
