Possible Offseason Changes in The NFL.

wilheim · Mar 18, 2004

Do you want to see one more playoff team in each conference? The Kansas City Chiefs do, and they will once again push their proposal to go to a total of seven at the league's annual winter meetings in two weeks. That's just one of the proposals the owners will study and maybe vote on during their meetings, according to a memo sent to the teams this week. The Chiefs have been big proponents of adding a playoff team to each conference for some time, but it never gets any legs with the rest of the league. The Chiefs are also hoping to change the overtime system, with each team getting a possession instead of having it possibly decided by a coin toss. Replay is also up for vote, and the league's competition committee, which is meeting in Florida this week, is expected to push for its passage again, although possible tweaks are still undecided. There is a chance that the league might allow coaches who are right on their challenges an extra one when they use up their allotment.

They should go with a full 8 bracket. This four division crap allows for some very average teams to make the playoffs, while other strong teams stay home.

used to be 12 teams out of 28 made the playoffs, a 10-6 team probably never got left out, maybe some, but I doubt as often as lately. now with 32 teams, I think 14 is the right number as well, and not 16, as that is half the league. I think a 10-6 team should be in hte playoffs.
