billsfan89 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 4 is perfect, keep in mind if they only have 2 that doesn't mean you will be getting 2 more regular season games. In games 1 and 4 of the pre-season the starters either barely play (game 1) or they simply don't play (game 4.) To me the pre-season is paced perfectly. Game 1 - Is a warm up in the truest sense. The starters play 2-3 drives to shake the rust off while the rest of the game goes to the depth players who get their chance to establish the depth chart for the rest of the pre-season. Game 2 - The first big rehearsal for the regular season. The starters play all or most of the first half and get it into gear for the regular season. The depth players get the second half to shine and the coaches get to get a look at who makes the roster. Game 3- The big gear up for the regular season. The starters play 2-3 drives into the second half and the rest of the game goes to the bench. This get the starters in gear for the season. Game 4- The starters don't do anything, but the depth players get the last chance to shine. This basically serves the purpose of giving the coaches one last chance to set their practice squads and the back end of the depth charts. While games 1 and 4 seem like filler they seem necessary for the coaching staff. I don't see anything wrong with the current structure of the pre-season.

nucci Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 9 hours ago, Augie said: The CBA prevents any actual “football”, so they need some preseason to see who can actually play. Four is too many. Two may not be enough, but for some reason I like an even number. One home, one away. Pick your guys then play for real. That would probably be negotiated in new CBA....something has to change...4 games is too much....rosters are pretty much set by the time OTAs are finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH063 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I voted for 5+. The actual number of Pre-Season games there should be is 9. By then everyone knows what kind of team you have. the Regular Season consists of 3 games. If a team wins 1, 2 or all 3 games, they make the playoffs. If you win all 3 Regular Season games you get a month off and then home field advantage for the first half of your first game which starts at 6AM EST. Then you go to your opponents field and play the 2nd half at 8PM EST. If you tie, then you go to London and play until there's a winner. All teams that lost all 3 Regular Season games have their own playoffs with the winner playing the most recent CFL champion utilizing a field that is 145 meters long and 57 Yards 7 inches wide. The End zone will be 11.2 feet in depth. The ball will be Lime Green with one Blue stripe along its length. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I think 3 but still have games 1, 2 and 3 the same weeks. Leave a bye week between week 3 and the start of the regular season. I think that way coaches would continue to treat the 3 games pretty much as they do now but you would get rid of the meaningless "scrubs game" between folks whose future is working at WalMart and Burger King.
