Do away with 2 preseason games, add an extra bye week during the season and always have the SB on presidents day weekend.

Jump both feet into gambling and you'll make so much goddamn money it won't matter.

The only change they need to make is base playoff seeding on record, not winning a division. Why should a 9-7 or 8-8 team that won a pussy division host a wildcard team that went 11-5 in a tough division? **** that.

Moves like this and the 18 game schedule.....basically make it much easier for them to expand to 36 teams.

I think the goal would actually be to add an extra week, thus extending the season.

football isn't hockey

you want your team to get into the playoffs? Play better football

I see the logic in that, but it would be sad to see the division races turn into just another passel of games that count the same as other ... games ...

That didn't make sense, did it?

Anyway, hopefully, you see the point. Division games are significant now. What the NFL needs to do is try and moderate the ability of the Immigrant Blowjobs to dominate for decades in divisions that offer no competition. A league without competition is no league at all.

There's also the issue of division rivalries ... historic or otherwise. Eliminating the implications of division rivalries would be bad for the game on several levels.

It's all about money........

If you expand the playoffs, you add a week, if you go to 18 games plus a bye you've now added a month to the season for ad revenue and it makes expanding 4 teams easier which will bring in even more total revenue.

If that happens then you need to increase roster sizes.

Noon, 3:30, and 7:30.

Divisions need realigned.

Roger Goodell and the owners are just hell bent on ****ing things up!

Kill the Golden Goose and keep tinkering with success.

Not a chance, there isn't enough talent in the NFL to field 4 more teams. It would be a complete shit show.

I hate that idea, so that means they will do it. If their older, most loyal fans hate it than the NFL will love it.

Makes the regular season more meaningful. Race to the bye would produce more drama for the later weeks. Plus you get teams fighting for the last playoff spot. 6 playoff games on wildcard weekend instead of 4. It's a much better idea than some of you are thinking it out to be. It's like adding the Wildcard game for baseball. More teams will have something to play for.
