While that site sucks...look at this info, 18 games but no players can play more than 16?

Gonna be happy if you end up with a ticket to a game Mahomes sits out of?

Can’t wait to see the Pats usher out Tim Brody at qb for 2 games.

Have to wonder if the league will go the NBA route and water down the playoffs by moving from 6 to 8 seeds.

That’s 2 more prime time games in the playoffs. More games=more $$

I kind of love this idea, actually.

It makes back up quarterbacks have actual value, instead of being paid $4M a year to do jack shit.

Additionally, it opens up the roster and is a pathway to a minor league. The players who should love this are backup OL and running backs. There's no way you can go into the season without a packed stable.

Ask Dungver how it felt when Seattle raped them at the SB. There was a strong Seattle crowd in the house and created a lot of crowd noise Dungver wasn’t really prepared for. Wasn’t a home game obviously, but I remember them commenting on it during the game several times during the game.

Just wait for this ideas......

18 games
more playoff seeds
more byes

If you do all those you can expand the season by a month and make more money by a lot....

And finally expansion, if you add teams that is even more revenue for everyone and I do think that is coming.

I’ve seen some bad proposals in my day and that is easily the dumbest.

cmh6476 · 07-16-2019, 02:15 PM

I want to see a 19-0 season first.

Wrong, it is a totally, completely, insanely, ridiculous idea.

Horrible idea. More injuries, shortened careers. Goodell is the devil.

Hoover · 07-16-2019, 03:13 PM

If Hoover was an owner he would propose the following.

1. Reduce the preseason to just two games.
2. Expand the regular season to 18 games.
3. Add a second bye week.
4. Three QB positions, K, P, and LS (6 positions total) do not count towards your 53 man roster. Allows teams to actually groom QBs and not seem them poached. So rosters would essentially go to 59 players, but three of them have to be QBs (this impoves quality of play in case of injury.)
5. You can dress and play all 59 players.
6. Add one more playoff team per conference. Only the #1 seed gets the bye, winning the conference doesn't get supremacy - seeding by best record only.

The NFL is going to BANK with legalized sports betting. Give them what they want, more games in the regular season and in the playoffs. Make the #1 seed really matter.

BWillie · 07-16-2019, 05:32 PM

This is actually a great idea. It will add media attention to the games where the back ups play some, etc.

All jokes aside, this is brutal.

This is what happens when money means more than sanity.

I like adding one more playoff team. The league has to expand the rosters if they go to 18 games. 2 preseason games is plenty. The second bye would make a lot of players happy too.
