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.

Course the NFC would have 4 division leaders clinch half way through the season and the AFC would still have 12 teams in the hunt in December that way.

What a stupid idea.

No #6 seed has ever made the SB, so now we want to expand it to seven seeds? This makes the league less competive, not more.

And saying that a 10-5 Tampa team faces elimination is pure propaganda. For that to happen the following events would have to take place:
Tampa lose to NO
Giants lose to Oakland
Washington beats Philadelphia
Dallas beats St Louis
Carolina beats Atlanta
And then some other obscure combination of game outcomes required to drop Tampa's strength of victory below both the Giants' and Cowboys' strength of victory.

I think Tampa is pretty safe and I think Carl Peterson is trying to find a way to make his job easier.

More playoff games=more money for the league

Why am I not surprised the Chiefs are leading the charge for that one.

The problem is, it's already so hard for a wild card to make it all the way... Adding another round is only going to make it that much harder.

I don't like the idea just because it seems every year there is at least 1 team that really shouldn't be there already in the playoff's. The last few years you could point to a lot of NFC teams that shouldn't have been in the playoff's. At some point that will be true of the AFC as well. Hell, Jacksonville will get creamed in their first playoff game.

You and Dick should have made sure this team took care of business on the field against Philly, Buff, Dallas, etc, to ensure we made the playoffs.
This is exactly what I thought when I heard this on the radio this morning.

Just win the ****ing games you're supposed to, and we'd be in.

Dammit Carl!!!

It's Carl's type of thinking that is the reason why there is no NCAA Div 1 playoff. Coaches and administrators know that fans will view the year as a failure if their college doesn't make the 16-team or whatever playoff....so they are opposed to one.

Maybe Carl should propose a 2nd-tiered bowl system. Maybe we could have a rematch with Dallas in the not quite good enough bowl.
