Just Jack Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 It's up for discussion... https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-reportedly-drops-18-game-season-proposal-now-targeting-a-17-game-regular-season/ Quote Two months after the league reportedly proposed a two-week expansion of the season to the NFL Players Association, The Athletic's Daniel Kaplan reports that the NFL has dropped that idea in favor of something else: A 17-game season.

Doc Brown Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Keep it at 16 as I don't want to see all the single season records broken. Just add another bye week so the NFL gets more tv revenue. Edited September 27, 2019 by Doc Brown 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 For now BUT ABSOLUTELY NOT SITTING FOR ONE GAME. You're get paid that extra you better be playing extra. Stop being whiney b!tc#s and get to work. Just now, Doc Brown said: Keep it at 16 as I don't want to see all the single season records broken.

RiotAct Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 so... one season you’d play 9 home and 8 road games, and then next season flip it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I’d like it. Get rid of Preseason. Add 6 more players to active roster. now I think the owners are going to use this as a bargaining chip. I think they stay at 16 games and get players to give up something that is meaningful to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) I think the 17 game season could solve a key goal of the NFL, expansion into new markets. Each team will have to play one neutral site game like London or Mexico City, but throw in Berlin, Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo, Toronto (eek), and I am sure a few others. And if there are not enough foreign cities how about regional games at college stadiums. Now based on the press release I have no idea if the neutral site game would be the plan, but it is sort of the only way an odd number of games works.

DJB Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Im more in favor of adding the extra bye week. It would extend the season by one week increase TV revenues. Players would also get the extra break to heal up. Plus we keep the 16 game season and all the records. Seems a win-win for everyone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookie Man Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I'm ok with the 16 game season. I would re order divisions. Or maybe split the conferences into an east and west type setup, like the nba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 The extra game will be a playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a 30 game season as soon as he retires and remove the stain of him from the NFL Add 5 playoff games to get him out of the post season also.

Virgil Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 How would they decide the 17th game? Right now, it works out perfectly in that you play everyone in your division twice, two full other divisions, and one from each division in your conference that finished with the same record as you. It would create and imbalance, especially with home and away games. To keep it even, you need to go to 18 games or simply eliminate the divisions.
