Why not just add another bye week instead of this silly poo poo

If they're going 17 games, make most of the 17th games be international, the rest be random neutral fields in places that don't have teams and throw in an extra bye week as well

17 games is stupid as gently caress. every coach should be able to go .500 and be made fun of in a specific way for it

You can go .500 with 17 games, you just need a tie.

A team that's 0.000 won no games, a team that's 1.000 won all their games, a team that won 8/17 is only 0.470. don't let the NFL tell you differently

8-8-1 is .475 in your left eye and and .525 in your right eye. it's also upside down but your brain turns it the right way up as fast as the speed of light.

I only support the 17th game if it's a random draw with its own show around the time the schedule is released. Have Goodell or various alumni/celebrities pulling balls out of two of those Bingo spinners. One spinner has all the teams, the other has the locations (6 "first team home" 6 "second team home" and 4 neutral sites). Maximum chaos with some teams getting 3 games against a divisional opponent, having to play two road games against a non-divisional team, a marquee matchup getting a 9am London game, etc.

Also add a second bye and knock 2 games off the preseason.

you may joke, but I have envisioned the NFL doing a show around this for ages. Two pots, one with all of the teams in, one with the venues, make a big prime time special out of it

And it made one-eighth the difference.
The extra games should be played on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Bonus points if those teams then have to turn around and play Thursday Night Football right after.

This is incorrect. 8-8-1 would be .500 because its 8.5 wins and 8.5 losses.

no, .500 is win percentage. 8-8-1 means you won 8 of your 17 games for a win percentage of .471. it should probably be lower because ties are more shameful than losses

In the NFL ties are half a win and half a loss. 8-8-1 is 8.5 wins which is .500 in a 17 game season.

For example, the eagles have four wins and a tie for a .346 record on the year. The Cowboys, with four wins and no tie, have a .308 record.

It's 8 wins, 8 losses, and 1 tie, it's right there in the numbers. If a tie was half a win and half a loss, the record would be 8.5-8.5, not 8-8-1.
