So who likes this playoff format?

[TheBigKat]

I kinda like it

only 1 seed gets bye

an extra team gets into the playoffs

 

One of the few tweaks of ‘the game’ that I actually appreciate

I like it too.  Makes that #1 seed highly important.

I like it. I think it keeps teams playing longer (not resting guys, not playing the rookies because the team is eliminated).

Personally I don't.  I think if you play well enough to be the #2 seed in the conference you also deserve that bye.
Ultimately this is just a money grab, the more games the more tv revenue.

However, at the same time I'll never complain about more football.

When they announced it, I was thinking a play-in game between the two lowest seeds would be fun but they wanted to capitalize and make it a big single wildcard weekend and not stretch out the schedule.

No brainer. I didn't get why so many complained at first. Makes the season much more interesting with teams playing for more whether it's the final playoff spot or the 1st round bye. Remember how they moved like half of week 17 to the late slot since they all had playoff implications? Meanwhile every other year, there are teams resting their starters in week 16.

And how can you dislike an entire weekend of nonstop football? The 1st 2-7 game, Buffalo-Indy, was the best game of the weekend so far. How can anyone have preferred Buffalo having a week off over playing that game? They should have changed this years ago.

I like it because it makes a weak ass team like the Saints have to earn their spot in the playoffs. If they’re gonna choke we might as well see it wild card weekend.

Isn't that sort of "unamerican"? Either you win or you do not. No reward for the losers! Haha... 

If they keep the 16 games format. I want the NFL to consider a condition for the division winners. Only division winners with 0.500 or better go to the playoff. Otherwise that spot goes to the team with the highest winning percentage..

I think it's great 

[TheSpecialJuan]

I adore it 

[Ezrider1423]

It is a money grab, but I’m never gonna argue with more football. Ever. 

[MVPccaffrey]

Not a fan.  Go back to six each conference, not this participation trophy crap

[Catsfan69]

I like it a lot. 6 games in a weekend is awesome.

8 teams is what they’ll go to. Get thy anus prepared.
