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 sure Jerry Jones was the driving force for obvious reasons.

It needs to be another conference game IMO.

If that many teams are gonna make the playoffs, and only one bye exists in each conference, I wanna play as many AFC opponents as possible.

Conference game against the same standing as your team.

1st place AFC team plays 1st place AFC team. Same thing for 2nd...3rd....4th.

Shit. I didn’t think they did it for every division winner. I guess just add the one game from the NFC then. Or fucking make it random. Who gives a fuck at this point.

We would have hosted Pittsburgh on WC weekend this season had this existed.

I will say, WC weekend having games at noon, 3:30, and 7:30 on Saturday and Sunday is going to be pretty sweet.

They had to find some way to get the Beady led Raiders in the playoffs.

I wouldn't mind a couple more expansion teams though.
Don't care about this stuff in general. They won't do something drastic

Great idea. One I have wanted for years. Makes regular season mean more. We get 3 wild card games per day to open the playoffs. Makes winning and get the #1 seed mean something.

I've been predicting this exact format for years.

It already meant a ton, to be fair...

Rosters need to be expanded if they are adding extra games to both regular season and playoffs.

If the newly proposed playoff system were in place the last 10 years we would have added:

• five 10-win teams
• nine 9-win teams
• six 8-win teams

The team helped the most (by far) would have been the Steelers who would have made 4 more playoff trips & 10/10 the last 10 yrs. pic.twitter.com/VYWn7xBpID
