Seed might not matter quite as much after all.

[6Lombardis]

League is about to propose a 16 team playoff scenario IF there are games lost due to COVID. That means no bye for the # 1 seed. May not happen, but that’s what is being discussed all morning on NFLN.

Just seems like everything always falls on us. We got the short end of the stick on early bye, now it sounds like 1 seed will be meaningless if we do get it.

That being said, just getting into the playoffs is all that matters this year cause home field probably won't make a huge difference this year anyhow.

I hope they don't change the playoffs in season. This is some bullshit to go adding another team. The contingency plan was always to have a week 18 and to take away the off week between conference championship games and the SB.

It’s asinine. What’s the purpose of winning your division and conference with the best record then?

IT's NOT ABOUT RIGHT OR WRONG, it's all about satisfying the BIG TV contracts. GREED MACHINE has to much to lose. I think their ratings are down and TV is saying hey, we paid for way more than what we are getting. The "rog" responds by saying that what if we give you another PO game or two....? Seems it's about satisfying the contracts more than what's right. COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on many things including the NFL but I think the NFL is using it to extort the system of the TV contracts.


if there ever was a year, the STEELERS are and will conquer this.




Salute the nation

NFL sucks Seed again

If they do 16 teams then the NFL regular season is done. Nobody watches regular season college or NCAA basketball because it’s meaningless with so many teams making the playoffs.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

The NFL should have tied player salaries to TV revenue by some formula. This BLM stuff would have lasted 2 days if it would hurt their paychecks.

This is just for a contingency if they can't finish the season. I don't see this happening, they're just preparing for a worst case scenario.

Pretty sure the worst case scenario was a week 18 and no week off for the SB. This is all about money if they do this.

They need to have a contingency plan in place....

The Whole Forum bitched about how we lost our BYE week & it turned out to be incidental.

I want the #1 seed in the AFC. Let KC play the #3 seed.
