SBbeliever Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 The games are becoming oh so boring in the middle of the season. Key players on all teams are injured. It seems like good teams just want to survive the 8-12 game scenario. Is this what the NFL wanted? 1 2 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I don't know but it seems like injuries are on the rise throughout the NFL. Teams literally need 2 bye weeks to have any chance to get injured players back. 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 How would fewer players be injured if it were a 16 game season? We're not even 16 weeks in. 3 4 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I dont get it. Agreed on the 2nd Bye week that was mentioned tho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) NFL seems to be going the way of NBA/MLB, sitting out players more frequently to preserve them for the end season/playoff type run. It does appear mid season lulls are more prominent in the NFL, but, with the bye weeks, naturally, the mid season action is lessened.

Nextmanup Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Not sure how you can equate current injury rates around the league with the addition of a single game to the end of the season. Injuries come and go randomly. It's a violent sport and football teams excessively preach weight training instead of flexibility training. These guys are all too tight and they pop too easily. But is that all because of 17 games and not 16? Nah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this what the NFL wanted? the 3 games yesterday were all 1 score, relatively high scoring games…I guess I’m confused as to what you’re considering boring. It certainly isn’t because the games are blowouts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo03 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Wait, so games are becoming more boring in the middle of the season because of one extra week added onto the end of the season? How does that make any sense? If games were just as "boring" as you put it, which they aren't, I don't see any difference, how would they be less boring in the middle of the season with one less game to end the season?

The 9 Isles Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Each team should have 2 bye weeks. Longer seasons (marginally) would benefit players with an additional week to heal up in second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Injuries happen. It's just a bad year for us injury wise, not what we had grown accustomed to, so everyone is more focused on it as a whole around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've watch the last four Bills game and not sure I could call any of them boring for the fans of these teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? This seems like one of those “let’s say something just to say something” threads. Would’ve helped if the OP would have given some examples of this “boring” play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Giants game was awful to watch between the injuries and penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like good teams just want to survive the 8-12 game scenario. Is this what the NFL wanted? I’ve found the quality of games to be poor all season. Since the new CBA reduced practice time, and coaches not playing starters much in preseason, it was poor to start the season for a couple weeks but wouldn’t make sense this late in the season. I agree that the average NFL game has been boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 No. I do think 2 preseason games, 18 regular season games and 2 bye weeks is where this is going though. I’d be for it. NFL product is as good as ever, but it does seem injuries are on the rise for most teams… unless we’re just paying more attention with fantasy/popularity of the league etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
