$$The regular season is fine as is and the playoffs are perfect the way they are so naturally they need to be 'fixed' until they are broken, smdh. If they are that desperate for more product they should just add a second bye and increase the season to 18 weeks while leaving the game total alone.
How would that add revenue?

best of 3?How can there be multiple Super Bowls?
How is it wrong to want a week of playoff games instead of a week of preseason games?
I do find it kind of funny and ironic how NFL fans, the most passionate ones, really do LOVE to complain about the NFL. It's not just this board either. I mean I love the NFL. I even like the way the pre-season builds up toward opening day, and softens the blow of the end of summer.NFL preseason expected to be shortened, with expanded playoffs likely | Boston.com

Maybe the TV revenue extra week? I think this partly has to do with the food and drink at the Stadium and tickets sold. I have often heard Kraft makes a lot from those.
Its all about the money.
The owners will eventually ruin this game with their greed.
Actually they are saying that the pre-season has been majorly under-attended and that is a big part of the $$ issue. Beer and Food provides a lot of their $$It would be the same amount of games but it would also be another entire week of TV revenue. If this were about butts in seats revenue they wouldn't be looking at eliminating preseason games.

The NFL is partly why I love autumn and don't hate the winter until Feb.
That said the season is long enough. I remember when it was 14 games, and the Pats went 9-5 one time and did not make the playoffs. It was harder to make the playoffs, I think 4 teams per conference (3 division winners and 1 wild card) and no teams got a "bye". It was two games to the SB for all.
I actually would rather they had in that direction.
