TheFunPolice Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Teams could already play 24 games, and are guaranteed to play at least 20. 4 pre-season games 16 regular season games PLUS up to 4 playoff games (if they are Wild Card team that goes to the SB) That's a lot of games already.

Europe, Mexico, Canada or a US site (college stadium) in an area of the country away from normal NFL games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 rather than this, I would add an extra bye week and stretch the season a bit later into the year. Start mid-September and end mid to late February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Increasing the size of the practice squads would help that. Maybe as a revenue builder the teams practice squads play eachother before the game. Or maybe a skills competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 2 preseason games, 18 regular season games. Expand the rosters by a few. Give the players their share of the additional TV revenue gained from the 2 extra games. Done, lets go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't know after OTA's, mandatory mini camps and what seems like an eternity of training camp well shame on them. This isn't rocket science. Wow, what a sacrifice! Thank you.

It makes sense to many of us and would, in fact, cut down on injuries as the older players’ bodies would become acclimated to contact after a long off season. Extend the Pre-season by one more week and let the coaches and GM’s do their jobs evaluating talent. Rabble rouser -always rousing Rabble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you or Hapless close this thread just think: if you and the Mrs. are looking to buy a vehicle, do you just look at one or two, or do you want to see every available option under every possible scenario?

reddogblitz Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Jerry, is that you? Owners love pre season because they don't have to pay the players and they still TV revenue and season ticket holders have to buy the tickets. Lets go back to the way it used to be. 14 regular season and 6 pre season games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
