1 No more Thursday night games, except for Thanksgiving and only then because it has been going on for a long time. The teams that play on Thursday have an unfair advantage over the teams they play next. Monday nights are a slight disadvantage to the team that has to face another team the following week, but not as great. Someone will say that they are professional players and should be able to handle the short week. Let their favorite team play Monday on one week and Thursday the next and we'll see how professionals can handle it.
2 Each bye week should have all the players from the same division off and then the following week those four teams play divisional games. Eliminate the unfair advantage a team has coming off a bye week.
The playoff format changed to something much simpler...
... like the best record gets home games regardless of division status. That way teams like SF and AZ who are in the toughest division in football don't miss the playoffs or have to go on the road to play teams like GB and Philadelphia who got the benefit of a weak division. A division championship should guarantee a playoff berth, nothing more.
I like your idea of the bye week schedule. I tried to find out what methodology is used and there doesn't appear to be one. Seems like a logical idea to have the same division off on the same week and then play each other the next week. I know scheduling is pretty complicated and maybe there is something this would mess up.
Thursday night games I like. More days to watch football is better as far as I'm concerned. If they could figure out a way to get games on Friday and Saturday that would be great.
One thing I'm not crazy about is having two games on that first Monday night. Not sure why that started that.

Will never happen... just sayin'...
I like this. Still makes winning your division important because it gets you a spot, but takes the randomness out of winning a weak division and getting home field advantage over a team with a better record.

What would you like to see changed?
Your post sounds good, I agree. I love to see Dan Snyder move his lousy team to LA, and rename the team Snyder's Stinkers.

Detroit play someone other than Green Bay on Thanksgiving!
You get your wish then since Detroit has to play an AFC team on Thanksgiving since they have the CBS game.
