Should the league change how it schedules games?

Nope.  
 

These guys hit less than ever before.  Training camp is nowhere near what it was during 2 a days decades ago.  
 

They are in better shape then ever and it’s putting stress on ligaments and tendons that we haven’t seen before. 

Turf and the cleats they use are probably contributing too.  The way you hit turf with your foot is just different than natural grass.  
 

 

See the number of injuries that piled up over the summer and where we were at by week 5.  
 

Also, I think a lot could play thru a lot of the injuries but are waiting bc their teams records allows them to get as healthy as possible - think like Bucky Irving for example.  
 

It’s not the schedule.

I think each conference should have a bye week.  All teams have bye that week and play inside conference the following week while other conference on bye.  Eliminate Thursday night games after opening weekend.  It’s unfair when one team is coming off a bye late in season and other teams bye was like week 4-6

I forgot about that history, but you're right.  I guess us middle aged guys need to stick together.

 

Where does MIDDLE - start and end?
