The NFL has a great product and a great system, and logistically a best of seven type playoffs would never happen.
You raise a good question - but I think it should be posed to the NBA and MLB, why don't they play a more exciting 1 game championship instead of the diluted tripe they hand out to their audiences?
CheerforTom said:I don't know about that. Consider the fact that the NFL is just about the only major sport (American run, I mean) to have 1 game playoffs. I think 7 gamers tend to eliminate fluke wins. Thing is, that might not necessarily be a good thing since flukes give the playoffs a lot of flavour. On the other hand, it's still possible for an underdog to win a 7 game series.
I think it's just a case of equal but different, 2 different sides of the coin. 1 gamers are more intense and crazy-like, but there's literally no room for error. A seven gamer spreads out the intensity over multiple games, gives it more of an epic feel.
A good example actually just occured to me: if there were 7 game series in the NFL we may very well have won the Super Bowl last year (in my opinion). We were killed by Denver because of a terribly sloppy game.

Given that a single round could last a month-and-a-half, the presumption here would be that players are able to play full games every other day ala the NBA, and that they can then play 80-odd games in the regular season.Haterproof said:I've always thought about this.This would make the entire football season longer.NFL freaks like myself would go crazy if something like this was to happen.

The season could start each May, with the Playoffs and Super Bowl finishing by the end of the following June.
Sure, a 13 month season might be a little bit tough on the players, but from a fan's perspective it's great, and the fact that the two SB teams will have to have their pre-season games in between the time they are competeing in the playoffs will probably help further the interest of parity.
