That would have us playing everyone at home every 4 years and everyone on the road every 4 years.

Doesnt that make for one division having to play 8 division games per team and the rest 6?

Just do away with the Wild Card, best record for each division makes the playoffs period.

Seed 1 plays 4
Seed 2 plays 3
Winners play each other for Conference Championship
Conference Champions play each other for the Super bowl.

All post season games are at neutral fields.

Love the idea, no home field advantage at all? That surely wouldn't sit well with a lot of fans plus how would it affect the stadium revenues?

Screw HFA, these are the Play Offs for the Super Bowl. If you cant win with out your stadium in the play offs you shouldn't be going to the Super Bowl. If your team so happens to end up playing at home for the playoff game because the stadium was selected before the season started, then so be it.. That is how the Super Bowl is handled and the Play Offs should not be any different.

It would give a more even distribution of revenue to all 32 teams.

As far as for the fans... Season tickets end after week 17 don't they?

At some point you have to ask your self... What is more important? The fans or the integrity and competition of the game?

Keep in mind... When football started there were no fans.

There was only football.

Fans came because of the integrity and competition of the game.
