The scary thing is we know they want to expand the number of primetime windows. So we are very likely looking at a future with even worse matchups then the ones we get know. I know the relegation/promotion thing I mentioned before will never happen, but I'm fine changing the scheduling format in the future to maybe make it so primetime games mostly feature previous years playoff teams. Like if this year primetime games were restricted to matchups only involving the following:

AFC: KC, Buffalo, Cincy, Jax, LAC, Baltimore, Miami
NFC: PHI, SF, Minn, TB, DAL, NYG, SEA

Well there's still some bad teams sneaking in, but it becomes far more limited. We end up with maybe 10-20% of primetime games being unwatchable instead of the 50-70% we get now. And then you make it so when a non-playoff team becomes worth flexing, the other networks are barred from blocking a flex. Half the problem with the flex scheduling is any decent game to flex gets block by the original network.
