NFL fans rip drastic changes that could happen to playoff format this year

NFL playoffs expanded to seven teams and only one bye… you in?

The NFL playoffs could look a lot different next January if a report by Adam Schefter on the upcoming new CBA proves to be true.

Schefter reported Wednesday night that under the current CBA proposal the NFL playoffs would expand to seven teams in each conference and that only one team would get a bye week.

Those would be some huge changes, as we’ve been used to seeing the top two teams in each conference get rewarded with a bye.

This is just a proposal and isn’t official but it could get passed soon. Owners also want a 17-game season, which players have balked at in the past, and just three preseason games.

I personally think the NFL should just stick with what they have with the playoff format (do we really need two more bad teams in the playoffs) and stay with 16 games because player safety should be a thing, but I’m not the NFL.

Here’s more details from Schefter:

Twitter sounded off on these possible changes:
