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

It waters down the playoffs. It should be hard to get into the post season. You should have to win your division or have a pretty good record. Allowing half of the NFL into the post season means that mediocrity is rewarded.

So under that format, if the AFC playoffs started today the crappy Jets @ 6-7 with the Three Stooges at QB would make the playoffs as the 8th seed. You'd think a team that gets into the playoffs should actually deserve it.

two extra teams per conference added would not have such an effect.

As it stands the season ends with 10 teams per conference sitting it out. This would change it to 8 teams sitting it out, while 8 were in.

under such a rule, if the season were over right now, every team in the playoffs would have a winning record except the jets.

I don't like it and I wish that fool stops trying to turn the NFL into the NBA

I agree with this.

In addition, i think that it would make the final few weeks of the regular season much more interesting and it lengthens the post season.

I would prefer only adding one more team per conference and only the top team would get a bye.

This would serve my desire to lessen the number of meaningless games in December while not expanding the length and overall tradition of playoff football and would be a wash in regard to player safety

the league though is mostly interested in money, not quality of play in which case a lack of expanding the weeks of playoffs would be a non starter for them
