Re: OT - Goodell considering expanding playoffs
I'm telling you, this will be the trade off for dropping two preseason games and not going to an 18 game season.

Re: OT - Goodell considering expanding playoffs
If more playoff games are what the owners want - why not a double elimination tournement with all teams seeded - best to worst - highest seeded team plays the game at home until you get down to the Final game and call that the Goodell Bowl!

Re: OT - Goodell considering expanding playoffs
Players were too bitchy about 18/2. If NFL went 17/2 with two byes, there would be one less dressed game, a minor hit in attendance, but two more weeks of TV regular season programming.
Keep the playoffs as is. Watered down playoffs is a major reason I don't watch winter sports.In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

I'm not saying I agree with it, just that some type of expansion is likely. And we can't keep the same 11 starters on the field as it is now ......

Re: OT - Goodell considering expanding playoffs
I don't see how an automatic playoff bid takes away from winning the division.
Sure, being assured a home game is a bigger reward but getting in is far more important.
You wanna see more than 2 games between division teams?
Or did you mean more games within the conference?
I definitely don't like the idea of more division games.

Re: OT - Goodell considering expanding playoffs
The schedule is perfect, play division rivals home and away. One diviion in AFC, One Division in NFC an the other 2 games vs you division seeding. Cant be anymore fair than that. Having to play Cincy, Cleve or Pitt more than twice would make the season MORE boring.

Re: OT - Goodell considering expanding playoffs
I don't want to see the playoff field expanded. If they go for a rerack based on the record, they should switch to two divisions. That will basically accomplish the same thing, without turning it into the farce that is the NBA.

Re: OT - Goodell considering expanding playoffs
Now it's coming out that they didn't really talk about this at all. Maybe Goodell throwing a smokescreen to change the subject from Bountygate lawsuit
