Mr_Blizzard Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 i am not in favor of expanding either. Ditto - it's hard enough keeping players healthy for 16 games. If a team makes the playoffs as a WC, and gets to the superbowl, that's 20 football games. That's enough..
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Good, now the players just need to get the owners to agree that after first 3 weeks, Thursday night games can only be played after your bye week.. If they could get the owners to agree to get rid of Astroturf they would have something.
billsfan89 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 The NFL Season is perfect the way it is, the playoffs give the perfect incentive to finish in first place (Bye week plus home field advantage). Why they keep !@#$ing with the format is beyond me.
Roger Goodell Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 The NFL Season is perfect the way it is, the playoffs give the perfect incentive to finish in first place (Bye week plus home field advantage). Why they keep !@#$ing with the format is beyond me. The off-season can get really boring. Well, since the owners gave the players veto over any effort ot expnad the regular season, it's safe to say that they really have no intent to propose an 18 game regular season. That was just a ploy used by the owners to get the NFLPA to swallow the CBA. It was never a serious threat. More playoff games makes much more sense in an revenue sense. Pretty much.
papazoid Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) New NFLPA president likes the idea of expanded playoffs: "For the record, I don't put expanded playoffs in the same category as 18 games," Winston told SportsRadio 610 in Houston. "We're talking about one extra game possibly, for two teams or four teams total, if you would count both AFC [and] NFC." http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/27/new-nflpa-president-likes-the-idea-of-expanded-playoffs/ Edited March 27, 2014 by papazoid
Turbosrrgood Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 new NFLPA President Eric Winston: "No 18-game season on my watch" The owners, however, are widely expected to expand the playoffs following the 2015 regular season, and Winston indicated that the players can accept that. If the NFL is going to add games, it's going to add two playoff games. Not 32 regular-season games. http://profootballta...on-on-my-watch/ Now they just need to kill off the extra playoff games, which are a way worse idea.
