I'd like to see the four division winners and top three wild cards make the playoffs, but then be reseeded #1 through #7. That way, a wild card team could host a (non-SB) playoff game for the first time since the 2001 season. And I'd still want reseeding after the first round like we have already, i.e., if the #7 seed wins, they play the #1 seed no matter what.

The current system isn't bad, though. It's not totally screwed up like MLB's is. The NFL probably has the best playoff system of the four major sports... but it could be even better.

Well, maybe the league will expand the playoff field to 32 teams. They're about halfway there now.
Yeah, that is a possibility.
