Sammy Watkins disagrees......

 

 

But I think he agrees water is wet!

If a 17 game schedule is implemented I see every team playing a International game either in Mexico or London. It’s the only way to keep a fair balance of home field advantages.

The NFL, in conjunction with the Players' Association, is considering several ideas, all with the goal of further improving the quality of league and enhancing the fan experience.

How many more compensatory draft picks will the New England Patriots be awarded if the league adopts a 17 game schedule?

There are other potential sites in US for neutral game.

I've love 17 real games, especially if it meant a couple fewer pre-season games.

 

What fan wouldn't?

 

Let the NFL season get here a bit sooner each year and stay a bit longer.

 

Now if we could just eliminate pre-season games entirely...

Agreed.  LA comes to mind.  ?

Lose a preseason game. Replace with a real game. Expand the playoffs.

1 per additional game per team seems like the most reasonable starting point?

No, still need two games teams are rusty as hell as it is, none would make it worse.

 

Plus some players are gamers and dont do as well in practice and teams need to find those guys out in preseason.

 

 

[Tuco]

Most fans wouldn't mind a shortened preseas . . . wait . . .  five BILLION dollars for a football stadium? Holy crapazoid!

[MrSarcasm]

Can we just cut to the chase and implement an 18 game season and a 2 preseason game schedule already?

 

Oh and up the roster size to 60.
