This sucks. If you want to make the playoffs earn it, if you don't earn it.... sit at home.

Still applies but the bar is lower. 

 

Im totally ok with this. The NFL has so many games won or lost by a fumble or missed kick, basically a single play, that not always the best team actually makes the playoffs. 

The BEST playoffs are when you play a series of games. Obviously you cannot do that with football so Im fine with more teams in the tournament.

Good stuff.  Now have team record decide the seeding and we will be set because some division winners are just average teams.

I think its fair to have the division winners have a higher seed.  Comparing teams within a division is the only way to correct for scheduling quirks, like one division facing a super easy schedule while another one going thru a much tougher series of games.  Only twice have I seen division winners with losing records make the playoffs in recent history, and both of them won their respective games.

Suddenly that bye week in the playoffs just got more precious and more teams have a shot at the prize.

If they can work out some equitable pay for the players, then hooray for everyone!

More teams? Yeah, I disagree with that completely. NFL hasn't had a Wild Card weekend team in the Super Bowl in over 8 damn years now. poo's not changing either.

You know the Wild Card team is supposed to be a miracle chance at best, right? 

In the end, it doesn't dilute the game nearly as much as having two teams with bye weeks for each conference especially if those spots were locked in before the week 17 games.

I think many people share this opinion and I respect it and am in no way attacking you when I say this.  Your opinion of whether you like it or not does not matter 1 bit.

Using easy math,  lets say there are 10 million NFL fans In total. 5 million hardcore fans love it and the other 5 take your stance Despite this stance disapproval 80% of those who hate it will most likely WATCH the extra playoff games. The NFL now has 9 million people watching their new play toy which equates to more TV and ad revenue.

Doesnt matter who likes it or not.  All that matters is if you’ll will watch it.

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By TD alt · Posted

      Actually we like to run more than most, and the dropoff isn't that drastic. We seem to be pretty much middle of the road. The Facons, Bucs, Browns and Bengals are the ones where running drops off markedly when they start trailing. Our line on the chart, like I said, is somewhat middle of the road.  As to whether or not if it's good or bad is anyone's guess by looking at this. I suspect people who like Old school football won't be upset at this at all. The thing is, we would have to know the game scripts and the situations, as running and or passing making sense is contextual. I know that I haven't necessarily been enamored with Canales's situational play calling. At the end of the day, I believe in using the run to set up the pass and the pass to set up the run, and trying to keep the opposition off balance, but I still believe that you should run it down their throats if they can't stop it.

      Because he's from Charlotte, grew up a Panthers fan, and could still make amazing money as an elite LG for his hometown team. And while I think he's a quality starting LT, he's not a Top 5 type of player either.  If he could prove to be a true elite LG, the money might not be that different than what he could make as a LT anyways. I'm not saying he will, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities.
