Why in the world would the NFL add MORE playoff games when there are already too many playoff teams to begin with

It has been proposed by the NFL that in 2021 there will be 17 games. 1 will be played at a NON-CONFERENCE opponent at site TBA either HOME or AWAY (for the Miami Dolphins we are playing the New York Giants).

Roger Goodell stated that the playoff structure will only remain if pandemic continues. But, will return to 12 teams if it ends. So, we are looking at a way to include a 17 game season and 14 team playoff for next season. Because we believe that it will be 14 teams again next season.

Since this season will be concluded on February 7th (SUPER BOWL LV), it is wise for all of us to find a way to incorporate the findings and possibilities as soon as we can. I am doing my part and others are doing theirs.

I added 2 slots on my CSV in the wild card round but it will not advance pass that it crashes. (I did this at the beginning of WEEK 1).

Since, I like to have a replica NFL season each year (I produce them on FACEBOOK) and we did not have any upsets, it was easy to place manually the divisional round to advance which it did thank God. I was able to get SUPER BOWL LV and will be simulcast on my page.

There is your answer to your question. Hope that clarifies it for you.

Can I get a source on that 14-game playoff comment that Goodell made? I didn't know this playoff format was temporary.

I can't recall where I saw it but, now I think its permanent per ESPN and NFL Network "The expansion to 14 teams is permanent" stated by Adam Shefter and Ian Rappaport. So I really can't answer either way. Maybe they are just talking about 2020. Not sure.

Can confirm the expanded playoffs are a solidified part of the CBA. Only thing in question is 16 or 17 games. Frankly, I think 17 is stupid, and I expect the players would rather not play an extra game, but the owners all want it for the money it would bring in. Who know where it will go? The owners and players do tend to dislike each other, but it isn't pure hatred like in MLB.
