The National Football League is by far the most popular sports league in America, so every decision will be heavily evaluated by fans. Some decisions fans agree with and others fans criticize. One of the latest debates going on is the playoff expansion talk. NFL owners and Commissioner Roger Goodell are talking about a possible expansion that would add two more playoff teams, one more in each conference.

Unfortunately, this could be a huge mistake for the NFL for a number of reasons.

1. More Injuries

More games equals more injuries and that's just a common sense fact. If the NFL really does care about its players health like they say they do and that's their No. 1 concern, then this vote wouldn't go through. If an extra playoff team is added, that will create more playoff games to be played in January. Historically, adding playoff games and teams also means adding regular season games as well. Again, more games equals more injuries. This is where the NFLPA will have to step in and say "no."

2. Fans Don't Want It

The NFL is "all about the fans." Or so they say. In an ESPN Sports Nation Poll, fans were asked "should the NFL add two wildcard teams to its playoff system?" In an overwhelming result, all 50 states said "no" and 66 percent of the Unites States and rest of the world also said "no." So does the NFL really listen to its fans or is it all about the green? If the NFL truly values the fan opinion like they say they do, the playoffs won't be expanded.

3. It's Already A Perfect Format

If it isn't broken, don't fix it. The NFL playoff format is perfect with the current system alignment. In each conference, six teams make the playoffs. The top two seeds get a bye week with the No. 3 seed playing the No. 6 seed and the No. 4 seed playing the No. 5 seed. From that point on, the highest seed plays the lowest seed throughout the playoffs. With a seventh team added, everything changes. Which team would play which team going forward? It becomes very difficult and flawed because of the odd number of teams.

4. It's Not Fair To Great Teams

The best teams fight all year long to make the playoffs while other teams make the postseason with a possible losing record. Teams like the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos would have to eliminate an extra team to win the Super Bowl. It's not fair to the elite teams who put up 12+ wins while other teams only have eight and make the playoffs every year. Of course, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants to expand the postseason, because his team can't make the playoffs. This may be the case with other owners and teams who routinely finish around the eight win mark.

5. Too Many Teams

The reason the playoffs expanded in the past is because the entire league expanded as a whole. More teams were added to the league in the '70s, '80s, and '90s, so it made sense to add more playoff teams. Unless the NFL plans on adding more teams (currently 32) then this really doesn't follow much logic, except for more money. The league already has 12 teams making the playoffs out of 32. Increasing to 14 playoff teams would mean that nearly 44 percent of NFL teams are "Super Bowl worthy" and will make the playoffs. Sorry, but there's no way that 44 percent of NFL teams deserve to make the postseason.
