A 10-6 seventh seed is not going to win 3 road games against playoff teams to win a trip to the SB. And Carl and Lamar know it better than I do.
2000 – Baltimore Ravens* 5 seed 12-4
1999 – Tennessee Titans 4 seed 13-3
1997 – Denver Broncos* 4 seed 12-4
1992 – Buffalo Bills 4 seed 11-5
1985 – New England Patriots 5 seed 11-5
1980 – Oakland Raiders* 4 seed 11-5
1975 – Dallas Cowboys 4 seed 12-4
* won Super Bowl

Do you really think that their only motivation is to change the rules to get the Chiefs into the playoffs? To me more playoff games means increased revenue for the whole NFL and that's a good thing. More cap dollars for every team....More revenue for every team that hosts a playoff game. To me thinking about Lamar Hunt who was at one point in time said to be $100mil in the hole when he was in the process of building a league would be so simple minded that his motivation to increase the number of playoff teams is just so his team could get in the playoffs is idiotic. With expansion and the realignment the league has changed and IMO the playoff scenario should be looked at to be improved every year. Looking at the lay of the land in regards to the NFL I think changes are coming. My hope is the changes aren't the start of the decline of one of the greatest sports/pastimes/entertainments people have experienced.
