NFL wants to open playoffs up to .500 teams

Would this increase job security for coaches of those perpetually mid-tier teams, or would making the playoffs no longer be enough to save your job as a mediocre coach?

NFL considering expanding playoffs to 14 or 16 teams

Bad idea. This would water down the playoff field with mediocre teams. The playoffs don't need more 31-10 games.

Simply another case of the NFL looking for more revenue, with the last 2 Super Bowl winners coming from the final Wild Card spot the timing is right to push the "anything can happen" agenda and get 4 more games of revenue without lengthening the season.

Would be a crazy first round, 4 games Saturday and 4 games Sunday, good weekend for a football nut.
