Changing NFL Playoffs/Seeding
Posted: Wed May 21, 2025 12:49 pm
The Lions withdrew their proposal about reseeding but they will try again.
It makes sense the teams with better records should host playoff games but if you do that, why have divisions.
Think that’s why they couldn’t get support this time.
You could get rid of divisions. Just have all 16 teams play each other. That would be 15 games and then 2, soon to be 3 vs someone in other conference.
I think that would be horrible. That’s too radical and would take away what we have now. Every team plays each other on a regular basis.
Change in playoffs will eventually happen. I don’t see owners letting a division winner give up at least one home game.
I can see the compromise being reseeding starts in round 2. The weak division winner, gets one home playoff game. If your the team with a better record; you should manhandle that weak division winner and advance.
