Nzoner's Game Room>Schefter: **New NFL Playoff Structure - 1 BYE, 7 Teams per Conference**
Dante84 05:45 PM 02-19-2020

NFL playoff structure is about to be changed. Under the current CBA proposal, seven teams from each conference will make the playoffs, with only bye per conference, sources tell ESPN. It would go into effect this upcoming season. More coming on https://t.co/rDZaVFhcDQ.

I'm not sure about that. I bet that preseason starts a week later and the season starts the same time. They don't want the season starting labor day weekend. Ratings were always down when they did that before.

Regular season just became about 100 times more important.

I think they will stay with the Thursday night game right after Labor day because I doubt they will want to play on Labor day weekend.

Depends what kind of team you are.

For Chiefs, yes. For middling teams, no. Easier to get to the playoffs now.

Barely good enough to get in and just hope like hell you can get lucky and ruin a 2 seed's season. :-)

How will the 17th game be selected in terms of scheduling Formula?

It will be interesting to see if there is controversy over the following scenario. Only 1 playoff bye available. The #1 seed plays 9 home games in regular season while the #2 seed plays 9 road games in regular season. The 2 seed loses a close game to a good team on the road and it costs them the #1 seed, while the 1 seed wins a close game at home to clinch the top seed.

8 home
8 away
1 neutral site

That is a good idea. Have they said they intend to do that?

This really doesn't seem fair. They already have messed things up with the Thursday night games, teams giving away a home game to play in another country. The short NFL season means that whom you play has such a big impact on the results. Timing of teams bye week has a big impact as well. This really seems like a money grab. Possibly just a temporary solution until they get to 18 games and 8 playoff teams. Might as well let half of the league make it to the playoffs.

Yes.

London, Mexico City, etc.
Every team plays one.

Report on NFL website says there will be a cap on international games and not all teams will play internationally.

Chiefs coming to Tampa Bay and Miami this year. Not looking forward to watching them in the 105 degree heat again.

That makes the most sense. More so than teams currently losing a home game
