Tampa / New England would be a terrible football game. It's not even close to the matchup of KC / GB.

I really don't need a 17th game. In fact, I don't even want one.

Carolina at Houston if Watson ends up getting traded to the Panthers will have some intrigue.

It's a damn shame, too.
As much as I enjoy the NBA playoffs from April-June, I'll rarely tune into a regular season game, unless it's just an amazing matchup between two of the top 6 teams in the NBA, because they play 82 games in a season, which is just too many games, IMO, to determine the top 16 of 30 teams. Now, the NFL is going to have 17 regular season games, in addition to three rounds of playoff games featuring 14 of 32 teams, in order to determine a champion? That's insane. The old system of 12 teams was just fine. Plus, the good teams stand to lose more than the bad teams in a 17 game season with 7 playoff teams per conference. It's much easier for a great team to stumble than it is for a middling team to win an "upset" but when you're designing the season AND the playoffs for upsets, why even bother watching until the playoffs? |

I hate that they are pushing the season later. Go earlier when the weather isn't complete shit for half the country. If it's about Labor Day weekend, just make that weekend a bye after week 1. Or better yet play 2 games before Labor Day and actually move the end of season schedule up a week.

Much like basketball (you talked about the NBA, but NCAA is similar) they're moving towards 2 seasons. One season for everybody, and another season just for the good teams. Wait until they expand the playoffs again. |

It is hard enough keeping people healthy to the playoff's, adding another game makes it even more difficult. Plus the current schedule sort of makes sense. Right now there are 2 games difference between you and everyone in your division that are set up to help balance the scale for the lower finishing team from the previous year. Do we really need a third? Plus it means that there is a more likely chance that you will play the team in the regular season once before you see them in the SB.

You have to see the long game here. The eventual goal of all this is simple. 18 games, 18 games works because it makes expansion easier. The easy number you get with 18 games is 40 teams.
With that you probably get 2 byes a year, expanded playoffs etc. With that plan you lengthen the season and increase profit by alot. It's about money. |

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.
