That's too bad.  I think the NFL's playoff system, as it currently is, is the best in all professional sports.  Perhaps not perfect in terms of seeding and the division structure, but 12 teams is a great balance.

This better mean less preseason games.

Clearly adapted for the Cowboys suckage.

Ughhhh, I was dreading this happening.

[Proudiddy]

I still wish they would take my idea of conference-less playoffs.

ONE LEAGUE, ONE TITLE GAME, NO CONFERENCES, #1 VS #2, SUCK IT GOODELL

[El Chingon]

I don't like it.

Wow...is all I can say, so almost half the league will be in the playoffs now. That's sad on Soo many levels, it's gonna cut down on hard fought, entertaining games now. I really hope the bottom dwellers that get in, get blown out bad to show that they don't deserve to be there, but it's a any givin Sunday league. The way it was set up before was ideal. Goodell is ruining this game.

Misleading thread title here.

The article doesn't say it's already happened. It's only speculation by Peter King that it likely will.

I prefer MLB's as they have the least teams and I think for the postseason less is better but the NFL definitely has a better set-up to the other sports.  Adding two more waters it down, we already almost had an 8-8 WC team last season.

 

The worst part of this idea though is the MNF idea.  That is clearly an unfair disadvantage for whoever gets drawn there.
