Talk:NFL playoffs

As a compromise, the current naming convention for all articles on the NFL playoffs after the 1970 AFL-NFL merger take the form of XXXX–YY NFL playoffs. In the 1970s and early 1980s, most of the playoff games were in December. Today, they are mostly held in January. As a result, a number of fans and media, for example, still consider the playoffs leading to Super Bowl XLIX (to determine the champion of the 2014 NFL season) as the 2014 playoffs, while others may call it the 2015 playoffs (because they are held in January-February 2015).

	NFL playoffs was one of the Sports and recreation good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

The payoffs are set up just right because you don't want to see too many team from the same area always winner. But, I disagree with the number 1 and 2 seeds teams having a bye week. I think they should have numbers 1 and 2 play and the winner plays the lower seeding team from the wild card round, and the loser would hang by a threat by playing the higher seeding team. This way, the number 1 team in each conference would have 2 home playoff games. That's what should happen, this would be fair for all playoff teams to have to play the same number of games to make it to the super bowl.
