Potential Changes in New CBA

Trying to fix something that isn't broken.

They expanded the playoffs in 1981 and it had terrible results.

The 17 game season is just down right stupid. It would mean one team would have one more home or road game, completely skewing the perfect balance of 16 games.

To put it simple, the owners of this league suck and are greedy as hell just trying to find more ways to make more money.

Saints fans are known around the league as WHINERS!!

Well, duh! The NFL is a business. In business you look for ways to increase revenues. They have been doing this for decades. This is why it is the most successful sports league in the world.

And you apparently are oblivious to the fact that no team will have more home games than any other. The extra game would be on a neutral field thus giving more fans the opportunity to attend an NFL game in person. Every team will still play eight home and away. In fact, this would eliminate some of those "home" games being played in London, Japan or Mexico. Once again, a good thing for fans.

And what terrible results are you referring to with the expansion of the playoffs?
