The Crimson King Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Owners expected to ratify this Tuesday This means 6 games on wildcard weekend and only 1 bye team per conference It also means that some 9-7 and 8-8 teams may have a shot some years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRy56 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Basically locks the Jets in as a playoff team, so that's cool 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmat321 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Wish they had that format in 1999, Jets were probably the hottest team in the AFC the last few weeks of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defense Wins Championships Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I hate it. The NFL is becoming a charity event where everyone gets awarded just for participating. It's horse crap. And the games are already watered down towards the end of the season and I can not imagine how week 18 will look. And the 17 game schedule is even worse. Half the teams will get an extra home game and a seasonal advantage - while the other remaining will be all getting screwed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy 2 Times Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 We don’t get very many interesting Novembers and Decembers around here. Any chance to keep us playing for something other than draft slot longer is a plus to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsbb Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 It is great because it means 10-6 is a guarantee to make the playoffs unlike Bowles first year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams like we were ths year were teams that other playoff teams would not have wanted to face since our D was ranked 7th about mid of the road against the pass and like 2 against the run shutting it down cold. Our O was doing pretty well at consistently passing the ball, though our run game was below par. I'd always be all for making the playoffs with a team like this and some more consistency at Oline even at 8-8 going forward and either see what we can do when we get in the dance or if nothing else get Darnold and other younglings we have playoff experience.

ChuckkieB Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Not a big fan of this. I think it dilutes the overall product. Inferior teams already make the playoffs. This just makes it silly IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I don't see the issue. Frankly, I'm not sure how good the bye really is for the top-two teams as it is. It's one more game to watch on the first weekend. One more chance for our team to get in if they don't win the division. It's mostly the same anyway. 3 still plays 6. 4 still plays 5. It's just team 2 in each conference that has an extra game. And if team 7 beats team 2, then so be it. If you lose that game, you weren't going to win the SB most likely anyway. I see no way that this is a negative for fans. Except maybe fans of the 2-seed if they lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already happened twice in the NFL. It's happened in MLB as well. Nothing you can do about it. Just remember that Namath was the first QB to break 4,000 yards in a season and he did it in 14 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the teams will get an extra home game and a seasonal advantage - while the other remaining will be all getting screwed. Your are complaining about a seasonal advantage for 17 games and also complaining against an additional playoff team. The reality is that these arguments conflict with each other. The NFL does not play a balanced schedule for ANY team. In the same division there are 2 unique games the other teams do not play. In the same conference, there are at least 4 and as many as 9 unique games between any 2 teams. And obviously in separate conferences there are only 1 to 3 games in common at all. If you then consider that the strength of each division in football can be wildly different in strength you can see there there is no scheduling balance at all in the NFL. Comparing records outside of a single division only has a very weak correlation. In fact the only time comparing W-L makes any sense is within division. For past year as example, a schedule was WAY easier if you played both East divisions instead of both West divisions. An 8-8 team from last year from the W-W scenario probably has a better record than a 9-7 or even 10-6 record than the team playing East and East. Win totals as a comparision tool between teams in the NFL is almost irrelevant. Allowing an extra team in the playoffs if anything makes the playoffs stronger not more watered down.

Jetlife33 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I’m usually against things like this, but as I get older FFS whatever can help the Jets. Another shot at the playoffs? Fine with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 This is there solution to late season empty stadiums, and sh*tty prime time ratings outside the off chance they got a week 17 game with win and in for both teams. Now they will most likely have a win and in game every year week 17, or 18. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all time home records vs all time away records in football and then get back to me... Giving half the league 1 more home game and the other half 1 less home game is absolutely an idiotic idea. Regardless of opponent everyone knows and understands that teams win at a higher percentage at home when in comparison to playing on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this Jets talk that I've been doing while stuck @ home and this virus is spreading and becoming worse by the day; not better. Florida went to 900 cases to over 5,000 confirmed cases in less than 1 week and will continue to sky rocket.

The only way as humans we can overcome this is if not only Americans but every person in the entire world (@ the same exact time) stays inside (including homeless somehow someway) for 30 days (1 month to be extra safe) but I find this impossible to ever happen but if not it's never going away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a prior thread I used this new playoff scenario to show what teams would have made it the prior decade. It's two extra games that they'll make money on but diluting the quality of the entire season. I dont like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
