The NFL is considering expanding the playoffs from its current number of 12.


"Right now we're with 12 teams obviously. We'll look at probably 14 or 16 teams," Goodell said.


A 16-team playoff would mean half of the teams in the NFL would qualify for the playoffs, making the regular season less meaningful.

That's one instance and everyone complained about it at that, with 16 teams it'd happen almost every year.

Wish they'd quit trying to change this game, I agree with some of the changes, but some are really stupid like this idea.

Not trying to call you out or anything, but I hate when people say this. The playoffs as we know it now are great, but I'm sure there were people who complained about it when those changes were made too. I'm not saying I'm in favor of this, but I feel like people just become accustomed to what they're used to and shun opposing ideas.

The playoff format is fine the way it is. It doesn't need changing.

Not a fan, adding 2 more times might be a bit better but I like it the way it is.

baseball if anything needs more playoff teams, or at least change their divisions
