dhitter 1,424 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 If the new playoff format had been in place last season the Chiefs would have had to play on wild card weekend. The whole excitement of leapfrogging the Patriots into the #2 seed would have not been a thing. Since it is proven that teams with a bye week have a greater chance of reaching the Super Bowl than not...seems that the new format heavily favors the #1 seed. Gotta say I am not a fan of this new format. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,220 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 This helps us. We just got a better chance of making the playoffs in down years and we will win our share of 1 seeds in the AFC. Not a fan overall but this is good for KC perhaps more than any other team. Even as a 7 seed you have to like our chances in the tourney with Mahomes.

I guess I am assuming KC is going to be one of the top teams with Reid and Mahomes for a while anyway.....therefore in my mind it helps the Buffalos and Tennessees of the AFC world. At some point down the road we may benefit from sneaking in as a 7th seed but this format only truly benefits the Chiefs if they are the #1 seed.

I agree with you dhitter- helps the Tenn, Buff, amybe even Dolphins and Raiders of the AFC. My thinking with Brady in the NFC now its a race between KC, Baltimore and Houston for #1 seed for the next 4-7 years the Warparty, xen and dhitter 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I think the NFL should stop pussy footing around with 14 teams and jump to 32. Fuck it...everyone gets a participation trophy and gets a try at the big dance. Even the browns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West 6,713 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Good for KC....Injuries always play a roll in who finishes in the Playoffs. This just gives the Chiefs a better chance....If they get in, they can win. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
