There should be 16 teams in the playoffs, 14 teams would mean 7 on each conference and that would mean a team would get way too many bye weeks. If it were 16 teams, the playoffs would be more competitive and would raise the amount of viewers. Also it would allow teams with winning records to make the playoffs given more slots, if a division leader has a loosing record like Carolina this past year and how Philly didn't make it and had a better record than Carolina. Other Leagues like the NBA and NHL have more than half their teams in the playoffs and people still watch the games, let alone make brackets for them, which would be a new business opportunity for the NFL to take advantage of.

dont mess with a good thing! unfortunately, it will end up happening.also, the idea of European teams is terrible. the idea that the Super Bowl could leave the country is shameful.
