So an NBA style conference seeding rather than divisional standings? I'd be ok with that as long as the divisional champs got a home game in the 1st round. Otherwise there's really not much benefit to keeping separate divisions, there could just be two conferences.

Just like the old days in the NFL, when there were just two divisions and the division winners faced off for the championship.

And like the NBA and MLB, for some teams the season is over far too soon. I think the NFL's 4-team divisions, with the division champ guaranteed a playoff home game, is a great way to keep most teams in the running for something important.

I say why not? 14 teams out of 32 isn't a bad ratio. I'd rather add more playoff games than regular season games.

I agree

Conf champ, one on each night

As far as I'm concerned, more football = YAY for me.

I know people are worried it'll be a slippery slope, but 1-2 extra games is awesome in my opinion. Not only that, when we're a crap team, we're not mathematically eliminated until way later.

[skinsfan69]

Also with 7 teams making the playoffs in each conference then that would mean 6 Wild Card teams? Only one team with a bye? 6 wild card games on a weekend? Another terrible idea. Waters down an already watered down product.

Um no. Re-seed after the playoff teams are determined.

its hilarious...they now have had 3 offensive/defensive play callers in 3 years. i know the media crushes Synder for firing coaches, but Jerry just hires more and gives the old ones new titles. lol

The Cowpokes are also becoming more of a mess because they're talking about hiring Linehan as a playcaller. But they still have Callahan at OC and they won't let him interview for other jobs. What a clusterfork.

Kyle Shanahan is interviewing with the Browns.

Dream job! No QB. No RBs. Losing their best offensive lineman to FA.

Josh Gordon is the only positive with that gig.


Good luck, Kyle, you earned it.
