More playoff teams mean more meaningful football. I think you have this wrong.

IDK I see this as "if we are playoff bound,we need to take guys out" This extra week with expanded teams will help do that.The pressure to win will be on more teams and there will be more head hunting(and dont tell me it doesn't happen)

Really could go either way in my eyes.... with only 1 bye team of the first place team is running away with it then 2-3 seeds probably won’t care as much how they finish possibly the 4th seed as well...Lower seeds will have to keep playing though to keep there spots...

Really don’t see anything changing from previous years with the new playoffs minus an extra team going to the playoffs 

Current playoff format... 6 teams..    3 layers

2 byes
2 home games week 1
2 wildcard

New format .... 7 teams ... 3 layers... but bigger layers for 2 of them

1 bye week     
3 home games week 1
3 wildcard

More range in each group, less of a need to fight at the end with less of a chance to move from one tier to the next.   The only battles that we should see are for the division titles and the home game.  Like you said, if a team runs away with the one seed.   Especially once the regular season expands.... we will see lots of resting of players at the end.  IDK... you tell me what you would do as a coach.   2 games left, you are 2 games out of getting the bye... but also 2 games up on your division.  Are you worried about keeping the 2 seed?  Or does resting your tired players a little in the 25 degree weather sound better?    Like Ham said with guys getting that week of rest and using the bye as an extra week... we will get that more now in the final week or 2 of the regular season.

Listen to what i'm saying ... i'm just comparing 2 guys.   If you have 2 choices.   If you had Ertz or the kid from SF.   Everyone was complaining ertz wasn't 1st or 2nd team all pro the year he had 1000 catches.  Well, because Kelce and Kittle did more with less.   They don't need the ball as much.

For us.. we already have Ertz, we need the guy to compliment him to draw coverage and force the D to account for him to open things up for Ertz.   Not a guy that comes in to take away more targets in the same area of the field.  That's just swapping stats from one guy to the next.  Don't see it improving the offense.  But a guy that can change the game on one play and maybe force a Gilmore and White to play him ... that works better IMO.

This I obviously get and have been preaching. Not really what you asked before though.

If he was so good at it why didn't he get more of them? Especially from a QB you said was "inaccurate".Wouldn't you think he would do more screens because he could be more accurate?

Yes I would think that would be a good idea. Exactly why I’m puzzled at such bad coaching. Can’t blame a receiver for that though. I bet we use him for that and he’s very successful doing it though.

Your missing it here No Mas. Teams will be fighting for a playoff spot. A given. More teams will play meaningful games longer into the season as they aren’t eliminated sooner. That’s a huge uptick in meaningful games right there. You mention the only reason to play once you know you’re a playoff team is for the bye. That’s totally false. The one seed is huge. That part you got right. But teams still play to win the division. That battle rages on...maybe until the last week. Teams play to get home field advantage. That’s definitely important. But you also glossed right over playoff matchups. Like who you matchup against doesn’t matter. And I say that’s huge. Always has been. Much of that will come down to the end. Maybe like the past you can rest your starters the last week of the season.

  Nothing but more meaningful games in the regular season that I see.

Ham... let's see how it plays it out.  i'm telling you... resting Cox as opposed to being seed 3 or 4 ... or 5 or 6... that will take priority for most teams.   There is always a fight for the last playoff spot... having it as a lower seed doesn't automatically create more teams in the fight.   I think that is a misconception.  what we are getting is a fight for a lower seed... meaning we are lowering our level of what a playoff team is.   There should always be worthy teams NOT making the playoffs.  Now you give one team that chance to be in .. but you slide that scale down further to teams that " almost"  make it.   It is what it is.  We need to see it play out.  But you know guys are playing hurt at the end of the year, getting them healthy vs " matchups" ... the players and coaches will choose the health.... your point is great if it were robots playing the game, but the human element.  The first time a major player gets hurt due to the " fight for the matchup"  watch how it goes how i'm saying from then on.

We will see whats true and false when camp starts

Whats the diff if you miss 1/2 at once,or 1 per week stretched out? The TV time is still the same

A few teams out on bye the TV schedule doesn’t suffer nearly the same as having half the league out....in a given week.

Simple math ...

either 2, 4 or 6 teams on a bye ....means .... 13, 14 or 15 games ..... vs only 8 games if half the league was on a bye.   would be interesting in the current format.   a Thurs, Sunday and Monday night game ... means only 5 games between 1pm and 4pm starts?    would be very weird there.

Ham please give me the specific link where the QB was off target.All I can find are highlight vids. I watched one.His footwork needs worked on desperately.A reminder he was in a tier 2 league,not playing the top guys,alot of who were taken in this draft.While I hope for the best,I think you are putting too much stock in this guy at this time.perhaps he becomes a force to reckon with,but we don't know that and may not until year 2. He also isn't a blocker and doesn't like to do it.This is why I was hoping for 2 top WR's in the draft.You are going to ask this guy to block and he doesn't like it and is not good at it.Alot of his highlights were for returns.Thats fine,but thats now why we drafted him.And so although you are shouting accolades from the rooftop,we have to see how he fits or if he CAN(like any other rook has to).He is tough to catch once he hits top gear but I saw many missed tackles(because you know these are tier 2 schools).I'm NOT bashing him,but you need to temper your excitement because you may be let down.We shall see.

Well the bash you had against JJ was "we don;t need short play guys",so I am assuming he won;t see alot of screens here either

Right,but see my way would be more even to the teams.Say we have a 4 bye and Dallas has a 10.If a player is injured early,he could come back in time for the p;layoffs.In this case Dullaz would not have him back,so to me it's more fair if the byes are closer together.Not a big deal and it wont happen,but in fairness,this would be more even

Here you go... read the name at the bottom.  It was the QB accuracy rate last year for passes thrown to WRs.  All about the accuracy of the pass.

Thats all his receivers,TE's RB's etc.I want a vid,not stats.Were they drops counted against the QB? I need to see it for myself

It's QB accuracy ... throwing what they deemed to be an accurate throw,,,, nothing to do with if the WR caught the ball.

So how many were misses to other receivers? Was the QB being pressured at the time?.I cant be accurate either if people are in my face all game long.So this could be misleading and I'd like to see it for myself

and that is a throw to that specific WR .. not a stat for the entire QB's body of work.  So same QB threw it to Jeudy with a little higher accuracy than he threw it to Ruggs.

Nope,this is QB accuracy to the DRAFT picks.That is not inclusive of the other receivers

Just now, GreenbleedinNC said:

It's about how many accurate throws came to the WR .. nothing really to read into it except for what the WR was dealing with as far as if he was getting an accurate  throw.  That's all.   When Jefferson ran his route the throw was accurate 69% of the time.... when reager ran his route the throw was accurate 31% of the time.   the other WRs ... pressure or no pressure... doesn't mean anything when it comes to the WR.... it is a QB excuse for sure.... but the WR doesn't have that excuse... it's the hand that he is dealt.  

If the QB say missed throws to everyone else,that is his overall accuracy rate.Maybe he had 90% to Reagor and missed everyone else follow? Sure his rating would stink,but it doesn't tell you how he fared with each receiver,this is a TOTAL rate

Why do you need the other WRs??????   Does it make a difference if the WB thew more accurately to another WR?    It doesn't help me out much if I get a bad pass ... if he threw  my teammate a better one?  All I can work with is what gets thrown to me

IDK it's a stat sheet with no header,so I have no clue what this illustrates

THIS CHART IS SPECIFIC TO REAGER.... 31%... there is no maybe 90% to Reager... it's 31%  ... specifically to him... this is what the chart is about the specific WRs.. not the QBs.

It does not say "to this receiver" it is an overall rating. So he missed reagor,how did he do with the other receivers?>

What is the chart title?

I just told you what it illustrates... it doesn;t have the header because the header came from an article that wouldn't translate when I saved the actually photo.... it's why I explained it in  my original post.

I cant see the title,so I cant tell you if its per receiver or total

I can hit you 5 times at 100% and miss Ham 57 times.My accuracy rate SUCKS right? So until I see what the chart represents(besides your word for it) I have no clue what it shows
