Default Roger Goodell has finally lost his mind now that he wants to expand the playoffs

This idiot wants to expand the NFL playoffs from 12 to 16 teams???

So this fool wants half of the league in the NFL playoffs which would mean that it's easier for all teams to reach the playoffs. How many people will lose interest in watching the NFL if this happens?


I don't think i can watch anymore

More games, whether they be in regular season or in the playoffs, means more money in the owner's pockets. That aslo means a better chance of him being rehired...

Nuts. Where would be the excitement for teams like the Cowboys and Redskins right now...when there are only 6 spots per conference you have to battle for them...2 extra per conference seems to take away from the whole prestige of being a playoff team. A bunch of 8-8 and 7-9 clubs would be getting in...

It's all about money. More teams in the playoffs equals more money. Smart business move, but I don't like it, but every day I like the NFL less and less.

This is the exact reason they have been pushing to make the game "safer". The union will have less of a leg to stand on if injuries are down.

i like it, in basketball and hockey the season is already so long, and then half the league makes the playoffs.

I would like to see more nfl teams and more baseball teams in the post season, I would prefer that to expanding the regular season. Sometimes you have better teams miss the playoffs because a crappy division allows a division winner in that has no business being in the mix.

The jump from 12 to 16 seems like a lot but i dont think you could make it work with 14 teams.

What a joke. Then you just lose the value of winning the division. Something baseball had a problem with and recently changed it for the better.

Gotta love Goodell. All this player safety and bounty crap yet he wants to add more games. I really think he does this intentionally to piss everyone off.

It sure looked that way by how he sounded when he made the announcement

It's a better idea than the kickoff rule or the 18 game schedule

Which is not saying much at all....

Do they have a think tank working overtime to come up with these dumb ideas?

No you don't. The 4 division winners still have a home playoff game.

I wouldn't mind seeing 7 playoff teams per conference. I think that would work great.

I don't think you understand that it makes the regular season pointless
