Playoff expansion not popular with followers ... unless they root for a team on the bubble.

I hope the playoff format doesn't change
The only tweak I would consider would be division winners must have a winning record (9-7) in order to qualify for the playoffs. No more 7-9 or 8-8 division winners host playoff games while 10-6 or 11-5 teams in other divisions don't qualify for the playoffs.

I wouldn't have a problem with going to 14 teams.

Watch first round byes become a thing of the past. Top seed will play the wild, wild card and everyone will have to win 3 maybe 4 games to get to the Super Bowl. Going back to back will be a miracle. And with the 18 game schedule players careers will be shortened. The phrase NFL, Not For Long, does not apply to the owners.

Neither the guy is a joke , too many changes, the way it's heading the NFL will be a fair for all , non contact sport. The worst part is he firmly believes he is doing the right thing.

If they do go to more teams, they better be ready to see more 7-9 teams get in, like the seahawks a couple years back. There really aren't that many teams that end up with a .500 record or better.

I applaud Goodell for trying to improve the game by trying new things; however, this is a turrible idea. Didn't read link but are there going to be a bye week?

Playoffs should just stay the same. Divisons need to be realigned though.
