A number of things I want to say:
Eventually I want an expansion to 16 playoff teams. As it is now, we've had seven straight seasons where both Super Bowl participants had a first-round bye. I think the bye right now creates too much of an advantage, and with only the #1 seeds getting byes, it's even worse. I think I speak for everyone when I say I don't want #1 VS. #1 in the Super Bowl every year.
In the next TV contract, I'd like the reverse mirror to be utilized for Sunday afternoon games, where additional CBS and Fox games would be distributed to TV markets using CBS Sports Network and Fox Sports 1, respectively. As it would still be likely that in most cases not a single game would air on broadcast or cable in every single market, NFL Sunday Ticket would still be available for those who want to watch a particular game that is not being aired locally on the CBS or Fox affiliates or CBSSN or FS1.
The reverse mirror would also be utilized in the first round of the playoffs after a potential expansion to 16 playoff seeds. CBS and Fox would each get one reverse mirror slot, always the 1 PM slot, alternating between Saturday and Sunday every year (they would also alternate the 4:30 PM slots in the first round, as well as the early and late slots on Divisional Sunday and Conference Championship Sunday, as they do now). Only games in the Eastern and Central time zones would be eligible for the reverse mirror slots.
With my desire to have ABC air the London games Sunday mornings and half the TNF package, ABC would also get exclusive rights to its postseason games - a first-round primetime game, a Divisional Saturday game, the Pro Bowl, and every four years the Super Bowl. ABC would air its first-round primetime game on Saturday, and NBC on Sunday. The Divisional Saturday slots would alternate between ABC and NBC. In years where ABC is airing AFC playoff games, NBC will air NFC games, and vice versa. With the expansion to a 19-week regular season, the first round would no longer fall on the same weekend as NBC's Golden Globes coverage, making it possible for NBC to air its first round game on Sunday Night.
Now, the next thing I wanted to tackle was seeding. Right now, division winners are guaranteed a top 4 seed and the ability to start the playoffs at home. But there have been cases where a division winner didn't deserve its seed because at least one wild card team finished with a better record. This happened just last year, where the Eagles won the NFC East at 9-7, but still got a #4 seed over two wild card teams with 10 wins or more.
With my proposal to expand the playoffs to 16 teams, I also want to strip division winners of their top 4 seed guarantee. This can even be done while the playoffs are 14 teams. A division winner thus would actually have to earn a top 4 seed by how they do in the regular season. Doing this would have more teams play for seeding in the later weeks of a season, and so with division leaders/winners knowing they aren't guaranteed a first-round home game right off the bat they will fight harder to earn this right.
Under my proposed 16-team format with the changes to seeding, Philadelphia would have gotten a #7 seed and have had to play at Green Bay in the first round. Not only did two wild card teams (Seattle and Minnesota) earn better records than the Eagles, the Rams also would have won a tie-breaker for the #6 seed and the right to play in New Orleans in round one. In fact, the games in Green Bay and New Orleans would have been the only round one NFC games eligible for the reverse mirror slot. The other two would-be NFC first-round hosts, San Francisco and Seattle, are in the Pacific Time Zone.
