    I like it the way it is. I like the finality of the games. Having a series would only lessen it.

    Seattle but thats not the point. All other sports have a best of series except for football.

    I like it the way it is. An argument could be made for giving home fiekd to the team with the best record, but I like it the way it is

    I like it the way it is, but would like to see the season 2 exhibition games and 14 regular season games.

    College hoops and football don't have a best of series, and they have some of the most exciting playoff games in sports.

    And with football, there is a week off between games, so it would take forever to have a series. It would get boring. Basketball and baseball can have two or three games in a single week and be fine.

    A best of series for football is a terrible idea.

    I just think it would ruin the excitement and the drama.

    Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing one less pre-season game coupled with one additional bye week.

    Talk about fucking up perfection. Win or go home is the only kind of NFL playoffs I want to see.
