Yeah, they needed to go to 18 games, to avoid the problem of who gets an extra home game, in a 17 game scenerio.

The additional game will be played on neutral sites (London, Mexico City for example) if this does in fact go through

f**k London games, Mexico I can live with.

I would rather they go on strike than have a 17 game season and add two more s**tty teams to an already watered down playoff format.
8-8 teams in the playoff going to become the norm.

It is sad.

Amen reverend Woo.

What proof do you have exactly that the playoff format would be watered down? Plenty of pretty good teams would make the playoffs under the new format.

That's not the case, apparently. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/packers-president-sheds-light-on-how-a-17-game-nfl-schedule-will-potentially-work/

More Teams = More Watered Down

Two teams that are currently not good enough to make the playoffs are going to become playoff teams. There will be a lot more mediocre playoff teams in this format.

Data says those two teams are usually better then some of the teams making the playoffs.

Who would have made it last year?

I am in favor of trimming down the field to less teams. 4 division winners and one wild card from would be better IMO.

Rams and Steelers. Rams were better than the Eagles and were surging. Titans nearly missed the playoffs had the Steelers won in week 17 and they were clearly one of the best teams.

Teams without winning records making the playoffs won't make the playoffs better.

Why not just go to 20 team playoff format? We will be almost as half the teams getting in if this is approved. It cheapens the regular season and makes the playoffs less interesting IMO.
