So why did the league office Ask the lions To offer the sowing of the playoffs according to the file, whatever the division championship? Because the commissioner wants it.
According to several sources, he became clear in last week’s league meetings that Commissioner Roger Goodell wants to eliminate the guaranteed home match for the teams who win their divisions.
Goodell’s preference became clear at the meeting concerning the proposal made by the Lions (at the invitation of the executive vice-president of Troy Vincent football operations). A source in the session hall said that Goodell was visibly irritated by resistance to measurement.
The goal is to make matches more at the end of the season. But there is no guarantee that will occur. In 2024, for example, the last game of the regular season between the Vikings and the Lions would have had lower issues, because the loser would have always organized an eliminatory match the following weekend.
The lions’ proposal was filed in May. As a source said, the elements supported by the league are deposited when “the (competition committee) or Rogers did not want the L.”
It remains to be seen if Goodell can eat a W on it. The compromise could be that the winners of the division with under 500 records will not organize a game of jokers. Another possibility is to rebate after the Wild Card Round.
Anyway, the NFL wants to modify the status quo. More specifically, Goodell wants to modify the status quo. On the one hand, it is for the owners to determine their rules. On the other hand, this is the name of Goodell on each football.
