    Stick with 12.... It's more exciting because teams that are trying to fight to get a spot at the Wild Card make it very exciting

Takes away a bye week for the 2nd place team. I dunno. I agree, it would really fuck up the brackets.

    This will give us more football games to watch but they should stick with 12.

    I wouldn't mind 14, but 12 is fine.

    The only reason I see them making it a 14 team system is if they add more expansion teams.

    I don't think this is a good Idea whats the point of adding more teams there is only 32 teams in the NFL that would be almost half the teams in the NFl would have a playoff spot...What would be the point

    Wow didn't know they were looking into this. No thanks, like J Crew said 14 is almost half of the NFL teams. Keeping 12 means teams like the Chiefs just need to play better. It's as simple as that!

    2 years ago. Minny and St. Louie were both 8-8 and made it. Both won too.
