the NFL doesn't tweak their system every other season to try to "fix" it
That's how they end up with 9-7 teams becoming legendary Super Bowl champions.  Fuck that.

Like would there be any shortage of money?

But that's exactly it.  There will never be an optional +1, because why would you only accept the money in some years, when you could just build into the system that you get it every year?

From the standpoint of competition, I get it.  I've supported the Shiner and Hooky Flexible Postseason Format for a couple of decades now.

But in reality, you'd be leaving money on the table in any year when you didn't have the +1 game.  Which is why that format was never going to be an option.

Gotcha, thanks.
