Additional Minnesota Viking Commentary

17 Game Revisit
Revisiting the "17 Game Season World League"  concept, this Vikings franchises 2021 home schedule would remain the same playing the Steelers, Browns, Rams, Seahawks & Cowboys, having to play the Bangles, Ravens, 49ers, Cardinals & Panthers away but instead of maintaining the incestuous NFC north schedule they would instead play the Bills & Patriots away having the Jets & Dolphins at home.  As for the Divisional games, although the starting rotation could be determined by some sort of draw, it might be the Bears at home, with the Packers in Green Bay, playing the Lions at some neutral site like London, Mexico City, Toronto or in Tokyo Japan building the NFL brand world wide. 

In the 2022 season they would play the Lions at home, Bears away & the Packers at a neutral sight playing a home & away schedule versus the AFC West & South divisions. The remaining three NFC conference games would be based upon where they finished in the NFC north in 2021.

As for this 2020 seasons 7 team conference playoff format, that first round bye into the winner bracket is beyond ridiculous, especially if that #1 seed was green stamped to the conference final based upon some flawed buttercup schedule.  Having maybe the hottest team entering the playoffs play the #2 seed, followed by the #1 seed, then potentially having to play the #3 seed, for the right to play in the Super Bowl is laughable.  For the 2021 season we all expect there to be a 16 team playoff format, with eight teams from each conference, were the right to play in the winners bracket will actually be earned, actually attempting to play playoff caliber teams ... not just a bunch of cream puffs ... or stricken invalids ... from that regular season schedule.  Yup!  Wuhan 19 exposed the flaw.  Amen
