NFL scheduling for playoffs is a joke forcing teams for short rest

They are making the 49ers play Saturday on short rest while Rams/Bears are Sundays game, when they could have completely avoided it for the NFC because Rams Vs Bears had both teams play this last Saturday.
AFC is trickier due to being stuck having a Monday game which makes no sense but that’s a different discussion

.This is the fist time with this format they are forcing Short rest when the option to have no team play on short rest was available

I’d like them to get rid of 8-9 division champions making the playoffs. Let’s start there.

The fact that a Monday playoff game exists is bad enough
Doesn't even need to now with the six WC games

all about ratings and popular teams, really shocked texans didn't get their obligatory sat 330 slot...guess can thank rodgers for that

Get rid of the Monday game and it's fine. I'd like to see the stats of the winning teams on Saturday vs the Sunday teams and if the extra day mattered.

If Jacksonville had won yesterday, the winner of tonight’s game would have been playing the 1 seed. Hard to believe they would have made them play on Saturday after a Monday game.

Funny enough, it's the first time the Texans made the playoffs as a wildcard. Every other time has been from winning the division

The regular season schedule is fricked up in a lot times as well. Teams coming off byes or that played on Thursday playing on Monday, why?
Posted on 1/12/26 at 11:45 am to lsupride87
Yeah, the AFC schedule makes sense given the Monday Night game.
The Rams/Bears should be on Saturday. Typically, they like to have the teams with Byes play on Saturday, but they should have made Seattle play on Sunday this time given the circumstances.

The Monday night game is just plain stupid and greedy.
Posted on 1/12/26 at 12:16 pm to JimTiger72
Im sorry, the team that is seeded #1 should have a few advantages

Instead they set it up the 49ers having 5 days off when it was completely avoidable

Just get rid of divisions. And go back to 6 teams with #2 getting the bye again.

Three games Saturday and three games Sunday is better anyways too as a viewer.

AGREED ! TOTAL BS! 49ers getting screwed 
Kinda like an 8 Win Panthers team hosting the 12 Win Rams

Monday playoff game needs to go away. 3 Saturday 3 Sunday. Each conference has a day so every team is on at least full game week going into each game.
