Mahomes would’ve wiped the floor with them in the opening round..... they just lost to the Ravens back ups the week before. To each his own, anything can happen in the playoffs. You don’t just look at teams on paper and decide who wins. I would have liked to see any additional teams/games regardless of who the QB was or how good their offense was 1

ALF Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Once the 17-game schedule is implemented (as early as 2021) it will also reduce the preseason from four to three games. In 2019, there were five international games staged by the NFL. Now with 16 more regular season games to be added as soon as 2021, the new CBA allows for a maximum of 10 games to be played outside the US during the regular season. 1

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 The deal also limits the number of international games the league can hold to 10 in any season through 2025.

First Round Bust Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 glad it passed; also pension of 22k for pre 1993 players now included annually would like to have seen an additional bye week added with the addition of the 17th game as this would allow better rest-prep for the Thurs nite game usually scheduled 4 days after a Sunday game is played with 1 team having travel as well; coming off a Sunday bye teams are better prepared to Thurs nite than current schedule allows... 3

It’s the everyone gets a star syndrome, now teams that would otherwise be said to suck, now get into the post season, dilutes the meaningfulness of making it to the playoffs.

That's 51.5% that voted yes. Yeah, that's nuts. This was a slam dunk for the players. Lot of guys in the league who don't seem to have understood what was being discussed.

Not at all. It's still only 14 teams out of 32. 14 is the perfect amount. Edited March 15, 2020 by Buffalo_Stampede 2

Damian Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Throw out all of the regular season individual records (rushing, receiving, passing yards, etc.), they will broken soon.

We aren’t watering it down. Agree. I am fine with 7 teams in and only the top seed (the regular season conference champs if you like) getting a bye. Wouldn't want it to expand again but I am fine with this plan. The 17th game I am more on the fence about. Would have liked to see it accompanied by a 2nd bye week. 1
