Here's the million dollar question. Will this game (or any game) be in front of a sold out stadium? If not, Tom Brady returning to Boston doesn't mean as much.

Everyone who wants a vaccine will have had a chance to get one by the first NFL game in Sept. I expect full stadiums. But..... may have to prove you have been vaccinated?

Yep, was same for 7th team in playoffs. Don't like it, they don't care. Why not just go to 8 for crying out loud. We already know they'd go to 18 regular season games if they could.

I thought if they got a 17 game schedule the players got a 2nd bye? So you push the super Bowl back another week? WTF if going to clash with the SB in Feb.? It’s sports dead time.

NBA All-Star game? Yeah, I don't care either.

2022 Winter Olympics are supposed to start February 4, 2022... and NBC is scheduled to broadcast the Super Bowl and the Olympics.

We are getting very near to ‘load managing’ in the NFL.

Who cares about September and October games?

I’ll take a healthy team in December and January over winning home field advantage anyday. See Tampa Bay.

There's no way Tampa wins all those road games with full stands... The were lucky as **** to win against NO and GB, even the WFT gave them a game. They then got lucky with the Chiefs losing Fisher, Brit Reid and the officials...

I will take home field all day long in a normal season, last year was the exception.

Hmmm don't like the 17 games at all, but silver lining...

Now we can see what Patrick can do when playing 16 full games instead of sitting week 17 he will probably play and then can sit week 18.

They may have to consider letting teams make substitutions or a certain number of time outs for it. The game will stretch out

Yep. Never thought Id say it but it's becoming even more watered down.

Unfortunately it will be a Chad Henne and backup game. That I’m sure.

But really these players need to demand a 2nd bye week being added to the schedule. One in the first half of the season and one in the second half.

Would really help, especially with rookies.

The NFL can go **** itself after that SB scam. WWE has more credibility.
