It’s like these rules committees HAVE to make a change every year to keep themselves relevant.

But why
Money and clearly player safety.

If there have to be more playoff teams just make it 8 and do away with the byes.

Under the current CBA proposal that NFL owners are pushing for, the playoff field would be expanded to seven teams, while the regular season would be increased to 17 games per team, and the preseason shortened to three games per team, per sources.
With the added revenue that would generate the players ought to be able to get them to cut the preseason out altogether.

What they should be doing is taking the top 6 records in each conference regardless of division and seeding them according to record. Since we know they won’t get full support unless every division is represented, do the 4 division winners plus the top 2 records remaining like they do now, but seed based on record, regardless of division winner status.
In 2018, the Chiefs and Chargers both finished 12-4 and split their season series, but the Chiefs had the better division record so they were the 1 seed and the Chargers got bumped all the way down to 5 despite having a better record than the 3 teams ahead of them. What kind of damn sense does that make?
I’m not opposed to the 17 game regular season with only 3 preseason games under certain conditions:
1. That extra game is a neutral site game like the Europe/Mexico games, maybe add in Canada as well. Each team gets 8 home and 8 away and then neutral site. And true neutral site games, not some bs like the Patriots game being in Boston College’s stadium or the Saints playing in Baton Rouge. Ideally they would split it so that they’d have 2 games in Mexico, 4 in Canada, and 10 spread around Europe.
2. Expand the damn rosters. 60 man active game day rosters, 15 man practice squad, and 5 injured reserve spots. Let’s your stars rest more during the game and they can come out during blowouts. If you are up 27-10 with 4 minutes left in the game and the ball at home, get your starting QB out of there. Let some younger receivers or back up tight ends get some snaps.
Don’t like the 7th playoff team at all. Does allow for 3 games each day the first weekend, but that will shite all over the possibility of moving the College Football NCG to Saturday Night where it belongs.

With a 17 game season added to this, it will just lead to more meaningless games for more teams late in the season. Prepare to see more half empty stadiums going forward

Yep.
I know I said it earlier, but I’m sick of ‘journalism’ these days

Just like the MLB playoff expansion proposal - this is lame a.f.

Home field is now everything and there's going to be plenty of years when a shite division 13-3 team gets to coast over 12-4 teams who have to play all three weekends before the Super Bowl.
And it does nothing to fix the HFA for 7-9 and 8-8 teams, which is by far a more glaring problem

We are all about player safety here!!! My arse Goodell and the NFL. This greed is gonna kill the sport. More games, more games outside the US, and still keeping Thursday night games. All these O and D lineman are going to have to walk with a cane or walker 10 years after they retire.
