Roger Goodell:
Playoff expansion a possibility for 2015



The NFL's competition committee opted against a recommendation last March that would expand the playoff field in the near future. Commissioner Roger Goodell made it clear Tuesday during the NFL Fall Meeting that the issue is back on the table.

Thousands shared stories telling us why they love football in a contest to win a trip to Super Bowl XLVIII. We chose 10 finalists. Now you choose the winners.

The possibility of adding two teams to the postseason is one of the "priorities" for the competition committee in 2014, Goodell said.

"If expanding the postseason would allow other teams to get into the dance, and they have the potential of going on and winning the Super Bowl," Goodell explained, "that's a good thing for fans, that a good thing competitively."

Bad idea. We don't need more 9-7 or 8-8 teams in the postseason.

Trophies for everyone!!!

You will thank them when you have two weekends of 4 playoff games.

Speak for the fucked up AFC. The NFC left out a good 10-6 Cardinals team this year.

And the AFC left out a good 11-5 Patriots team in 2008. Shit happens.

Yet a 10-6 Arizona Cardinal team was left out (and would have missed the play-offs even had they beaten the 49'ers in the last game, so would have been 11-5 and sitting home.

Yeah, well, a 7-9 Seahawks team made the playoffs out of that division in 2010, so these things tend to even out.

Is Fargo putting in a bid?
