nedboy7 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Yeah this is greed leading to dumb ideas. Oh well. Seems typical of our culture.
UConn James Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 If / when they go to 17, it really should trigger a second bye week and making the roster management changes from this COVID season permanent. Perhaps increase rosters to 55, as well.

White Linen Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Did the NFL ask DeSean Watson if this was ok? 3
First Round Bust Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 4 hours ago, Limeaid said: Resistance from NFLPA. I think adding a game is very hard until scheduling issues are under control and full stadiums are possible for all teams. With expanded schedule is better for NFL to accept starting before Labor Day and extra bye weeks. Players will be healthier and there will be more possibility of spaces for reschedules. yeah I agree that an extra bye week makes sense; rest and recovery first and then it adds flexibility for the Thurs nite scheduling where you can have teams avoid playing on only 4 days of rest and preparation and instead have them play that Thurs nite game coming back from a bye week...and then have the Super Bowl played deeper into Feb where the game is played the night before the presidents day holiday - a Monday, a federal holiday. 1

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Get rid of all the pre-season games. Quality of play was fine this year. Teams know 50 of the final 53 before training camp even starts and virtually every starter. Just carry a larger practice squad to fill out the bottom of the roster. The players are right. They don't need all these OTA's, camps, and preseason games. They need some but not all of them. 1
Arkady Renko Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I am pretty sure the option to add a 17th game was already agreed to by the players in the CBA. Edited March 1, 2021 by Arkady Renko

I was fine with the 16 game season starting the weekend after labor day The league will end the season a week later rather than starting it a week earlier.
jimmy10 Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 This still being up in the air also helps explain why there’s no word yet on STH plans.
Rubes Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Man I can hardly express how much I dislike this idea.
QCity Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) The home/away imbalance is just so silly. It's like watering down the perfect drink with more ice to try to fool your customers into thinking they're getting more. Edited March 2, 2021 by QCity
AmishRifle Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Not a fan of expanding the regular season. It’s all about the money at the end of the day.
