NFL considering 18 games and 36 teams

[carlos3652]

I hope people knew I was being ridiculous - I did it from mobile and my smilie appeared as 2 question marks .. Im impressed people knew that it was soccer related to begin with.


Why anyone would change the structure of the best sport in the US.. the most entertaining, and the one that doesnt dilute the playoffs with trash teams... is beyond my comprehension.

I get the money aspect, but at some point, greediness will dilute the product and ruin what people love about the sport.

[Hammock Parties]

I'm fine with it, but you better not let anyone breathe on the QB if the ball isn't in his hand, and going low on any player results in an ejection.

[Gravedigger]

Yeah because we need more Bengals, Browns, Chargers, Jaguars and Panthers.

Everyone knows how late stage capitalism operates. Eternal growth. Like cancer.

We don’t have to like it, though.

Bro I was told on this very forum that Late Stage Capitalism is a myth.

I don't need more games at all and prefer not to lengthen the season. But if they want to do so, I'd be intrigued by a new rule that teams play an 18-game season and players are only allowed to play 15 or 16 games. It would add a new level of strategy about who gets rested and when. It would probably add competition because the strong teams would likely rest their stars against the weakest teams.

The strategy would be really cool. You probably wouldn't want to rest players too early in the season, because ideally you'll hold their individual byes for if they get injured. But if you wait too late, you might end up having to rest players in critical games with playoff implications. And how many starters can you rest against a team like the Panthers or Patriots before you're taking an unacceptable risk of a loss?

You rest all your stars against a non conference team late and just take the loss.

Or you get a backdoor agreement to play your second string against their second string.

Then I’d be forced to watch meaningful Chiefs games without Mahomes at QB and I don’t like that at all

I think it would be more of a mix.

Not straight-up 1st team/2nd team. A rotation.

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

It's really going to suck having to draft 36th every year...

[Valiant]

I think sn extra game and 4 more teams is dumb.

But greed always wins.

Personally I want to see federal legislation if cities or counties pay for stadiums they get the percentage of money for tickets sold. You pay 6 billion for a 7 billion stadium. You get ⁸³ percent or whatever it is of the ticket cost.

For new teams. Ir would probably be all European.

[ThrobProng]

London? Might as well put a team on the ****ing Moon.
