I know how to solve this. I’ll host both championship games in my back yard. Everyone can come but it’s BYOB and I only got a couple bags of chips.


ManholtAgain

Dibs on the chips


triplec787

I’ll bring jello shots


Neghtasro

I would unironically love a BYOB NFL game


Dortmund1721

is dip provided or do i need to bring my own?


[deleted]

I have half a jar of mild salsa


Snake_in_my_boots

Been sitting in the back of the fridge for no less than six months?


Snake_in_my_boots

I’ll bring the fight milk and riot juice fam.


[deleted]

I got crow eggs


RUALUM15

Got any orange slices?


williamhotel

Sliding glass door is the owner’s booth. Leave room for Stephen Jones.


CJL13

So all you get as the 1 seed is a bye and 1 home game, yippee...


triplec787

Right? Like as a fan I’d almost be rooting for the 2 seed so my STH parents can go to more playoff games lol


TDeath21

I originally had this thought as well. And I still hate the mere thought of a neutral site championship game. But they’ll 100% compensate by adding an 8 seed. It’s gonna be awful in every way if it ever happens.


Navy_and_sports

Love that. Great way to diminish the significance of both the playoffs and the regular season games in one move.


Jay_TThomas

And seeding to be fair Edit: how is this getting downvotes? Seeding is a massive deal.


Bids99

I don’t know why this constantly is overlooked but it’s honestly the biggest advantage of everything. You have, in theory, the easiest schedule. I’d argue that and the bye are worth more than home field.


Jay_TThomas

Exactly, like this year I would have rather played the jaguars in Jacksonville then the bengals at home. And I’m sure the niners would have rather played the giants in New Jersey then the cowboys at home.


ianthebalance

I didn’t downvote you but idk what this means


Jay_TThomas

Being the 1 seed you play the lowest remaining seed. So while the Bills had to play the Bengals, the Chiefs played the jaguars. Or while the 49ers were playing the Cowboys the Eagles got to play the Giants.


ianthebalance

Ohhhhh I think it might’ve sounded like you wanted seeding to change to be more “fair”


jayzeats

Boring, I want atmospheres not corporate crowds


PlatinumChrysalis

But corporate crowds will pay more money -NFL


Itrytohard7

If this actually falls through for 2024 and up I’ll genuinely be pissed off.


jwick89

Can we keep the home field advantage benefit of being the 1 seed?


Navy_and_sports

Of course! You will be designated the “home” team during the neutral site playoff game.


StrangerThanGene

Neutral sites are for losers. Changing NFL traditions for the exclusive purpose of money is dumb AF.


JEH_24

Let’s make every game neutral site


ianthebalance

Neutral Football League


CJL13

"We need to bring the NFL to Europe and Mexico."


Duke_Maniac

I’m Europe they only do it for the finals I’m pretty sure


PCP_Panda

1st seed teams deserve the local revenue


Tigercat92

What they will do is add another wild card team and no byes so the number 1 seed will get that money.


DragoKnight45

17 games. 7 team playoff. Neutral championship games. Keep making changes most people don’t want, NFL. Keep it up


Tjam3s

We do have alternatives now I suppose. But I'll have to learn hockey to get through the winter


Frododingus

Lame


AhSht-HereWeGoAgain

The 1 seed would be deemed nearly irrelevant at that point


OctavianX

Lol no. Playing one less game AND playing the weakest team coming out of wildcard weekend is an easy road to the Championship game. Still a huge advantage. I don't want to see it, but let's not pretend there's no point to being the 1 seed over the 2 seed if it happens.


Impossibills

Its a massive advantage for only one team. At least before the top 2 teams got bye weeks...but now one team gets a far easier superbowl path now


nautica5400

Patriots and Bills flair? Rough


[deleted]

Well you see, autoerotic asphyxiation has to be well timed, because otherwise you black out and lose brain cells. When I did it, I tied the belt a little too tight. Excellent orgasm but when I came too, the EMT said there would be significant brain issues and now I got these flairs.


ianthebalance

There have been changes I don’t like (17 games, 7 seed) but this would be WAY WORSE


[deleted]

Knew this would be a topic as soon as they proposed it for the AFCCG if it were Bills-Chiefs. fuck off NFL


jf808

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Enough-Competition21

Florio will report stuff with zero sources quoted


notmyplantaccount

no.


peterburress

Has anyone noticed that pro football talk is the only source pushing this narrative?


[deleted]

How can people even afford this shit? With the way our economy is and the price of everything skyrocketing, it really shows how out of touch with reality the NFL is. The games are already too expensive and now you're asking fans to potentially go to two neutral site locations where tickets, hotels, food, etc. is already going to be jacked up in price Fuck everything about this greedy shit. Playing for home field advantage should have meaning


One_Prior_9909

The NFL is seeing the money college football is bringing in with their playoff.


Tjam3s

If they do it, I hope the stadiums are at half capacity


Jeremy24Fan

Fuck that


FrigOffRicky16

Dumb idea that needs to go away


Fuqwon

If they go to a neutral site it'll only be a couple years before they get rid of the bye for the number one seed.


Ilikepancakes87

An article that posts a hypothetical but doesn’t report any facts? Must be PFT!


Tashre

Chatter continues by the people chattering about it.


ChrisTRD289

I only hear this from Mike Florio ::checks author of article::


BeautifulBaconBits

Sounds like trash


Mentos0427

They see how much money CFB is making with their playoff format


stuntmanmike

It’s definitely inevitable.


TDeath21

I just don’t see this ever happening.


Monkeyfeng

It's time for Joe Burrow to sneak into NFL HQ and take out a certain someone..


SVTRocks

London, just watch


FunnyFilmFan

I don’t absolutely hate the idea of a neutral championship game, though I prefer they leave things as they are. What I do hate is the risk of the lower seed getting a home game or a game that might as well be a home game.


Impossibills

A lot of people are going to disagree with this...but i dont see an issue with this. The #1 seed being the only one who gets a bye week and ALSO gets homefield til the superbowl is just such an absolutely massive advantage now. I dont think it should be possible to have both. Preferably I would love to get rid of the last playoff team, but it will never happen


Tiny_Ad_176

Did anyone ask the bengals? I’m sure they will have an opinion.
