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. 

Then by the way the announcers talked about how tough/amazing/inspirational the Titans were during the Bills game, it wouldnt suprise me if that the NFL gave them the memo on some of those talking points leading up to the game LOL

That's the rational alright. But if you are cutting the season short it's because too many players caught the covid. Letting half the league into the playoffs makes it more about luck (not catching covid) than being the best team in the league. Plus I's hate the NFL to decide that they like the extra revenues of more playoff games and make it permanent.

 

For the Titans it was not luck.  Teams should be eliminated from playoffs for flagrant rules violations like which is done in college football.

They did not even mention any of the violations like players having practices off site in violation of rules.

Their head coach certainly learned about cheating when he was coaching in New England.

It's not a horrible contingency plan as I'm sure the #1 seed would have no problem knocking out the #8 seed.  I'd be more for a play in game for the 7th seed but then the 1st seed would have to wait three weeks in between games.  Let's hope it doesn't come to this.
