Should the league change how it schedules games?

What they should try to do is schedule byes around the Thursday games. No playing on 4 days rest. Only teams coming off a bye play Thursdays. As much as possible, of course. Can't have that in week 2 obviously. 

 

And they'd never do it, but it would be great to go back to 16 games. For someone who's a bit ocd when it comes to numbers, 16 is perfect.

16 games should be the standard.

Nothing like a 1 pm home opener at rich stadium knowing you had monday off!

Always enjoyed the sick day call-ins guys after home games vowing they were sick, not hungover.

Adding the 17th game and the 7th playoff team was nothing more than a money grab.

1 team with a bye is stupid.  I don't care what anyone says.

 

They will soon go to 18 games with 8 teams in the playoffs.  You watch and see.

The league will go to 18 games and continue to push the envelope as long as we keep watching and they keep making more money. What they SHOULD do will never happen, and this will continue to be a game of attrition every season. 

This ^^^^ money rules so there will be no changes

The rash of injuries on this team and around the league in general is making the game less entertaining.  Thursday night games, overseas games, flex scheduling, and in 2021 the move to 17 games has made a naturally dangerous game even less safe for players.  Money rules everything in the NFL as owners are not ruling out an eventual move to an 18 game season.  Should the league rethink its approach to growing the game or should things stay the same?  What are your thoughts?

Re think? I dont think the league will be fun again until we get to 100 teams. Full baseball schedule. 182 games.

 

Baseball has that wussy best of 3 & 5 to start first 2 rounds though. Take the hockey format for those.

 

Superbowl should last a month. Best of 15. 15 countries, 7 continents. None of us will be happy until weve all had family members Moonlight in NFL games.

You don’t like injuries.  What evidence is there. That Thursday games or games played over seas or flex scheduling is the cause of that?   
 

answer is no. Because all of those things generate revenues
