ProcessTruster Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 The way the NFL does the playoffs - Going later and later into the winter - One and done format and with injuries mounting due to the season getting longer and longer, I'm not sure that determining the Super Bowl Champion is becoming slightly more and more random. Von made the point that In other sports a team can come back in the playoffs and advance. In the NFL you get one shot, lose and you're out. Have a few key guys out at exactly the right time or some other one-off condition, and you're out. Fini Why not have a double elimination playoff tournament? Put 8 teams in from each conference. Two byes each. If you lose, you get a second game the next week. The NFL gets more playoff games, more revenue, blah blah, so can eliminate another preseason game or two (which no one watches and generate little rev for the league and are unnecessary/generate injuries). Move the start of the regular season up a couple weeks. Play playoff games with good teams instead of preseason games that are meaningless. This takes some of the randomness out of the playoffs and keeps fans engaged longer. I want teams playing with as full rosters as they can, so we can see who is the best, not just the best on a particular day. Plus you lose twice in a row in the playoffs and now you really know you have work to do. Quote

Xwnyer Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 I’d rather see going back to 16 week season and a week off before playoffs. 8 teams in playoff four division winners n four wild cards. Division winners play at home first round after that reran led Quote

Mr. WEO Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 imagine how emotionally exhausted the Bills would be in a double elimination scenario. none of them would survive. pass. 2 1 Quote

buffalobillswin Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 They already changed the overtime rules because of us why not change the whole concept of the playoffs too. How about this idea? The playoffs don’t end until the Bills win 4 straight games. 1 Quote

For each group of 4 week 1 —-2 games against 4 teams G2 and G2 week 2 — winners face off in G3 , losers face off in G4 week 3 — Game 5 is G3L vs G4W week 4 — game 6 G3W vs G5W week 5 — rematch game 6 – asdume no more double elimination…. week 6 — group winners meet week 7 —winners meet la full 16 team double elimination would add more weeks.

Zerovoltz Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Love the irony here. the regular season is a grind and players get hurt and it pushes the season further into winter so let’s: play even more games and push it even further into winter. Quote
