We're on a forum and none of what we suggest will make a difference in the grand scheme of things, right? So here goes:
Close 4 franchises. The talent pool is ridiculously diluted right now. When a playoff team has to trot Joe Webb out there as a starting QB and Vick Ballard is the starting RB for another, we've got problems. Expand the rosters or practice squads of the other 28 teams. My nominees for dissolving are JAX, SD, TB, and the Jets. The first 3 based on the most blackouts (that I recall, anyway) and the 4th because they are an embarrassment to the game and the league.
Slash the number of playoff teams to 10. Each top team gets a bye and there is only 1 Wild Card. Seattle was the only Wild Card that deserved to be in this year anyway. I know the Packers and Steelers both won as a #6, but besides that when has it happened? #6 is usually cannon fodder (see Bengals, Cincinnati)
Slash the schedule from 16 to 14 so players don't take as much of a beating. This would never happen so I don't even have an argument for it.
