Carl Peterson proposing playoff expansion...
Hahaha! What a laughing stock this guy is...


Chiefs president wants more playoff teams

By Skip Wood and Jarrett Bell, USA TODAY

Ten wins. In the NFL, to accomplish that means almost certain inclusion into the playoffs. Not this season. And heading into this weekend's final regular-season games, six of the league's 32 teams face the prospect of finishing 10-6 and not qualifying for the postseason. Not only that, but as many as three teams could wind up 10-6 and on the wrong side of the fence.

That's why Kansas City Chiefs president Carl Peterson, long a supporter of expanding the playoff field from 12 to 14 teams, is miffed — and not just because his team is among those possibly left idle despite double-digit wins.

"I'm going to propose ... an expansion of the number of playoff teams," Peterson said Wednesday. "I think it shorts the fans, the franchises and the cities to have teams with successful seasons but still not qualify for the playoffs."

Peterson, who failed in his bid for playoff expansion at last spring's owners meetings in Hawaii, believes his argument will be strengthened at this spring's meetings because several teams with nine or 10 wins are on the brink of elimination or are already out, such as San Diego (9-6).

Dallas (9-6), Pittsburgh (10-5), Tampa Bay (10-5) and Carolina (10-5) also face elimination.

Since the playoff field expanded to 12 teams in 1990, three teams have missed the postseason with 10 wins: the 1991 San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles and the 2003 Miami Dolphins.

"It's a great playoff system," Peterson said, "but I don't like it when teams can win 10 games and not make the playoffs. I don't want us to become the NBA, with 50% of the teams in the playoffs, but we should do something. This league is just so competitive."

Of the NBA's 30 teams, 16 make the playoffs.

An NFL spokesman said the league has no comment as such decisions are entirely up to the owners.

"We'd certainly be interested in televising the games if the NFL expanded," says Josh Krulewitz, spokesman for ABC/ESPN. ABC is televising Super Bowl XL from Detroit.

NBC declined to comment.

I think 3 wins should get you in the playoffs, we could outdo the NBA and make it so the top 28 or so teams make it and it could be like the NCAA BB tourney. YES YES YES!

I guess you're right. I still think it's a bad idea. I think it would take away from the game, not to mention the teams who actually deserve to be in the playoffs. As far as I'm concerned, there are a lot of teams with ten wins every year that don't belong in the playoffs. Hell, I'll be the first to admit that last year's Denver Broncos probably shouldn't have been there, and they had ten wins. I think we have just the right amount of teams making it in. I bet of all the ten win teams that miss the playoffs, I can point to at least one game that they shoulda, coulda, woulda if they'd have just taken care of business. Is there even one ten win team missing the playoffs but has a perfect record at home?

I agree.

The only teams that are undefeated at home is Denver and Seattle.

The loss to the Eagles killed us IMO.

No surprise that a guy who's satisified with mediocrity wants the league to reward it.

I agree with you.

Hell, I think 12 teams is more than enough, and think 10 teams would be an even better playoff.

I'm just pointing out that Carl isn't doing this simply because of the Chiefs realistic chance of winning 10 games and sitting at home for the playoffs.

I actually think the NFL has about the perfect playoff system. The fighting for the #1 and #2 seed make a lot of late season games important for the top teams. You start adding teams to the playoffs and getting rid of the byes, and you start making the regular season another pre-season.

The fact that he's been trying this for years makes your argument bullshit.

But what else is new?

How about...

The AFC plays the AFC and the NFC plays the NFC except in preseason and championship. Expand the season to 18 games, a team plays every team in thier division twice, and each of the remaining conference teams once. The playoffs stay the same, but everyone's schedule is pretty even. Unless you are the Texans, then you have the toughest schedule and if you are the colts, the easiest. Thoughts?

24 teams would work nicely. Give 8 teams a first round bye, then the remaining 16 play an extra round to mow down to 8 matchups against the bye teams.

That ought to satisfy carl. He could then say to Chiefs fans everywhere, Look, I brought you the playoffs.

Then deep inside his panic room, he laughs at the thought that he doesn't have to do shit to make the playoffs.
