BillsMafi$ Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Per Chris Mortenson depending on how the rest of the season goes with Covid, they could add another playoff team and no one will get a bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Don’t like that, personally. I think once you start the year you don’t change the playoff format. 21 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 That would be very NFL like to change the rules as they go. I’m not sure how adding more teams helps anything with Covid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team should have the opportunity to go 15 plus years without a playoff appearance. No lay ups!! 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 This would really stink for the super bowl favorite teams like KC, Pitt, and Seattle. Have to run a much harder gauntlet and not get banged up. The lesser teams can probably pull off some upsets in this format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penfield45 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 NFL clearly has no idea what they are doing this season first they threaten to punish teams for breaking covid protocol. then after the titans do exactly that and ruin multiple teams schedules nothing happens to them and they got extra rest and prep times for their games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 1 hour ago, LeGOATski said: How exactly would that help? Some of the richer owners pushing for this? The idea is to help out if games and/or the bye week are lost. If they get the full season in with some re-scheduled games, I highly doubt we will see the modified playoff format. It's similar to what the NHL did with their mini "pre-playoff tournament" that was expanded to encompass almost the whole league (no Sabres!) because of the loss of most of March and the April games at the end of the regular season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I love the 7 teams per conference playoff format. I also hate this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djp14150 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 The reason behind this is a good team has a game cancelled due to Covid, not their fsult, thrn they sit a half game out of7 th place WC spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, it’s about MONEY and HOPE (the latter being for the fan base as it increases interest for the lower level teams). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
