The schedule for wild-card weekend will now feature two games on Saturday, three on Sunday and one on Monday.

No doubt they put us on a Monday

It's ridiculous.

And after a victory put us playing on the upcoming Saturday. Meanwhile our opponent will have played on the previous Saturday.

lol everyone just assuming we will be in the playoffs. Apparently nothing was learned from the overconfidence going into the Panthers game...

We're making the playoffs. Circle back on this if you want.

The greed has gone way too far. There is no way to justify this as it furthers the advantage one team can have over another (the next week obviously). Playoffs should be as level odds as you can create other than the advantage one team is rewarded by being at home.

Indeed, the writing was on the wall with the advent of the 17 game season. The results have been predictable:

Injuries, injuries and more injuries

There are surely more to come.

It's never been about player safety. Ever.

It's ridiculous.

seriously... hey NFL your post season is perfect , dont touch a damn thing... lol dont take a game from WC weekend. Thats my fav weekend of the year in sports

 

[SuperSaint]

Seems to me it would be a massive disadvantage for the winner to play the next round on a short week...

Was there something wrong with having 3 games on each of Saturday and Sunday like last year? Imagine being the #2 seed in the conference and having to play on a short week in the divisional round.
