Speaking of Wilson...word out of camp today is that he's been told to stop doing flips.

NFL is considering expanding to 14 or 16 playoff teams. God I hope not...the playoff structure is perfect as it is now. I'm also trying to logistically figure out how it would work. The intent would be to add an extra week of football, so you'd get something like this for both structures:
Wild Card Round All division winners get a bye Wild Card 4 @ Wild Card 1 Wild Card 2 @ Wild Card 3 and then after that, the 3rd and 4th seeds enter the fold and the playoffs resume as they are now. But that means the 1st and 2nd seed gets TWO weeks off...which I think would actually be a hindrance to them. |

They really should stop trying to make crazy changes like that. The playoff structure is perfect.

16 teams would work easily although the bye system just adds an extra week to the top seeds since its messing up a perfect bracket.
14 teams is going to be a real mess unless they tweak the divisions or bye system. Giving all division winners a bye won't work. Seems like they saw what MLB did and thought an extra team or two would make things more interesting. Biggest difference was MLB just added an extra day and was 1 round shorter than everyone else before the change. |

They want to eliminate kickoffs but make the season two weeks longer.

Baseball's one was kind of mess this year though. They had the wild-card play in game winner get the first two home games in the best of five. I think that was only for this year's one though. They needed it that way to work in the schedules to get the World Series to start on the day it was supposed to.
What I didn't get is that they also did the weird 2-3 thing for the series that didn't involve the wild-card team. |

Roger Gooddell is now saying he will shorten Payton's suspension to right after the regular season ends, since the Saints don't seem to be a playoff team..
It's gonna get interesting after this season cause season ticket holding fans, who spent tens of thousands of dollars this season are gonna sue the NFL because of the impact suspending Payton cause our team.. As I said when the player suspensions were lifted a few days ago, Gooddell still hasn't provided proof of any of this.. It's gonna set a new precedent where fans are concerned.. That they in essences are share holders and are effected when the league upholds penalties, they need proof, much like a real court.. This is all coming from local talk radio, but the law suit will happen.. We'll see how this plays out.. |

Still trying to figure out ways they'd make a 16 team playoff work. I can't even begin to figure out 14 teams. If they wanted to NOT extend the season an extra week/force teams to play a 5th round of the playoffs, they could do something like this for each conference:
Wild Card Weekend 8 @ 1 7 @ 2 6 @ 3 5 @ 4 Divisional Round (assume all higher seeds win for simplicity) 4 @ 1 3 @ 2 Conference Title Game 2 @ 1 --- But even then...what benefit do the 1 and 2 seeds really get? Yeah they get a home game against what SHOULD be a cupcake opponent. But it's the NFL, upsets happen. It's probably a better option than letting the 1 and 2 seeds get a full 2 weeks off, but it still sucks. Then with that plan you'd also have to factor in TV scheduling. The NFL wouldn't want any playoff games to overlap. But how the fuck do you fit 8 games in a single weekend? They could easily do a game at 1, 4:25, and 8:30 on Saturday and Sunday between the 3 major networks...but that still leaves 2 other games. When would those be played? Friday night? Monday night? Both? Then the second round of the playoffs could potentially have one team having 2-3 more days of rest than their opponent. Shitty part is, the networks would happily sign up for any scenario that allows them to air more football. Even though any potential expansion idea would be a clusterfuck. |

I guess you could in theory do 4 games in a day, something like:
12:30 EST 3:30 EST 6:30 EST 9:30 EST With the 9:30 kickoff games being reserved for the NFC and AFC West champions...and the kickoff time would be pushed back if prior games overrun. But that might be overkill even for NFL standards. |

I agree with Kris P that most of this Bounty scandal smells like bullshit from Big Dick Goodell trying to flex his muscles and weaken the NFLPA and anyone who challenges his authority.
