Fantasy players are going to hate this. So maybe it is a good thing.

Good teams win ~80% of the time against bad teams, and win roughly half the time against other good teams. So you are strongly incentivized in this system to sit as many of your most important starters as possible for your hardest games. This proposal is basically designed to ruin national games. (it's also not a real desire, and something to hang over the heads of players in CBA negotiations)

If you think you're not in a position to conceivably win, the smart move would be to use all backups in those games.

Athanatos posted:This is clearly someone going: "Well, if we have 18 games all the drat records will be broken! How can we stop that!" nah it's exactly what it seems: the league badly wants two extra games for all the extra money it would generate, and the players are correctly saying a 16 game season already wrecks their bodies, gently caress no, and the league trying to get that sweet sweet cash while getting the players to go along with it

Cancel all preseason games, have two bye weeks for each team, allow expanded rosters, then maybe. We all bitch about preseason anyways. I’ll trade two real games for four crappy ones.

Most of the people who would be affected by expanding the season (starters) are barely playing in preseason games to begin with. So it's not really an even exchange, besides the fact that there is value in preseason games which are crucial for nonstarters and guys down the depth chart. I think reducing the number of preseason games by two would be fine though. In any case, this is all just speculation due to talks regarding the CBA, right? We can bitch more if it actually happens

I definitely agree four preseason games is terrible. Especially since NFL teams charge full price for them

I think reducing the number of preseason games by two would be fine though. If you keep the current schedule for starting real games, you still can have teams scrimmage against each other in August. Not exactly the same, but it would serve a purpose of evaluating those guys. Plus if the roster is expanded, there will not need to be as many cuts.

Bless your heart. nonono The NFL is going "More games more money" and the other fat white guy in the room with suspenders is going "the FANS are going to bitch about records and extra games on these coward player bodies" Hence the limit.

I can't believe the NFL wouldn't take the opportunity of an 18-game schedule to stretch the season further back in August and expand the calendar so it's more NFL more of the year

I'm sorry but you want me to pay for season tickets with a guarantee that one of the best players probably isn't going to play? This is a dumbfuck idea. Just do two bye weeks you turds.

There was an interesting Athletic article about McDowell, no one is going into specifics but there’s clearly something very odd about his situation – either his ATV injury was worse than described, he’s a complete dick, or some combination thereof.

I burn $400 every year on 4 tickets for those stupid 2 preseason games  Though those are fun games to go to with someone who doesnt know about football because they dont know poo poo about poo poo and dont care that the 23rd string UDFA from southwest northern tech is in at WR

The Raiders have been the halfway house of the NFL for decades. And no one needs a halfway house more than Richie Incognito, so it seems perfect. Fire Safety Doug posted:There was an interesting Athletic article about McDowell, no one is going into specifics but there’s clearly something very odd about his situation – either his ATV injury was worse than described, he’s a complete dick, or some combination thereof. Yeah I read it, I think he's just immature and easily takes in bad influences. That whole thing about his mom being loudly and vocally opposed to him attending school in Michigan because she felt he wasn't mature enough to remain among his high school friends was pretty telling. As was his bad relationship with his coaches and rumors of him being insanely lazy and not practicing. Him getting busted driving drunk twice, causing a commotion at a strip club or whatever and then attacking a police officer (love his constant drunken screeching about seeing the cop's "supervisor" btw") simply confirms it. Ge wasn't ready for any of this and probably had a bit too much natural athleticism for his own good, in the sense that he never had that come to jesus moment when he realized that a career in the NFL requires an ungodly amount of work and commitment. BTW training camp starts next Sunday! So just about one more week and there will be football going on, even if it isn't real football
