Boy that 17th game sucks for the players. Totally unnecessary
i won’t complain about more plsyoff football. But some years you’ll get teams like the titans, some years you’ll get those who don’t belong
And I'd rather extend a drought than be down 21-0 after the 1st qtr. And not down being down, the way it happened. Embarrassing excuse for tackling. To each his own.I'd rather go and be embrassed than be the Browns on a 17 year drought.

I get it but 16 games as we know wasn't always a staple of the sport. Imagine how up and arms people were when it jumped to that. It think it'll be great. Of course the players union is going to whine that's all unions do.I love Xmas.
I also love math, fairness and continuity.
16 games is a staple of the sport, 17 makes things complicated with comparing historical figures.
And I am a big fan of 17 (RT) but not in this instance.
Also, giving 1 team such a big advantage over the other 6 playoff teams doesn't seem fair.
I'd rather see 8 teams with no bye or 6 teams with 2 byes. This format is literally odd.
They'll just move it back.Better not impact the xfl season...

When the league expanded to 32 (from 28) in the early 2000s they changed the playoff format but the number remained the same.
With Oakland entering the league we have increased the teams from 28 to 35 without any change in the numbers of playoff teams.
Close.Great point! So this is basically right sizing it to what we knew from the Marino era.
I am sure you didn't mind the 90s when 12 out of 28 (43%) teams made the playoffs. We benefitted from that many times. The last major realignment happened in the early 2000s with Houston joining the league. Since then 12 out of 32 (37%) teams made the playoffs. With the playoff expansion 14 out of 32 (43%) will make the playoffs. So we are basically going back (percentagewise) to the 90s.I don't like it, that would mean nearly half the league makes the playoffs. I don't see how this benefits anything. Just another ploy to get the NFL more prime time tv and ad money.
I'm not looking for free handouts from the NFL. I would rather see the best teams get in rather than honorable mentions rounds. I would prefer 10 teams instead of the 12 now.I am sure you didn't mind the 90s when 12 out of 28 (43%) teams made the playoffs. We benefitted from that many times.

I also like the expansion to 17 games. One preseason game will be eliminated. I actually would like to see 18 games with only 2 preseason games. It makes preseason gaemes more meaningful.
Over the years everybody has cashed in on the NFL. The players, the coaches, NFL, advertisers, sports networks - everybody - except the fan who has to pay more and more for less football.
On an average an NFL player is only 11 minutes/game actually in motion. 11 minutes in a 60-minute game. The rest is spend on the sidelines, in the huddle etc. If you consider all the TV time outs, halftime etc then an NFL player spends 11 minutes working in a 3 hour timeframe. I like to call that a casual Sunday afternoon.
