Ragnarok Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I don't think I like the reduced season. I do wish we could do 2 non-3 Up extensions a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirA1 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 The Cons against the reduced season for me are what will we do for that extra month or more of time. I'm going to be for a Hard point of the new BDL season starting after the Superbowl next year like it always had before. We have short rests built in for a reason to give breathers to people. So in that case December and January would now be dead months. The only reason we jumped the gun this year and started in early January was because Mike wanted to get the spreadsheet sorted out so he could work on TCMD. With Better pacing and Co Owners you can split the duties of a full BDL season with ease. The old guard has been doing this for 7-8 years. I know I set a schedule for BDL planning and voting and stick to it. Doings playoff level game plans each week will burn anyone out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like 5th year options and RFA's plus a ton of ERFA's. Teams keep almost everyone they want to keep now. Most people last year didn't even use all of their 3 ups. (5 teams) almost half the league (7) only used 1 or less. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GlYgctgEUSbuIx2QLm4C7cxkrbK7DxEEGoSTRH6agfA/edit#gid=217338194 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Rags doesn't have to worry about weeks 16/17 very often, does he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedLavie Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 But seriously though, I remember having to turn my Bizz Bowl gameplan vs Jlash late because I was out for Xmas holidays between Wed and Sunday, and on Wednesday, I had like 6 out of 7 CBs questionnable, which made it impossible to gameplan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the higher salary cap will result in more trade deadline deals as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedLavie Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Me I'd be fine cutting weeks 16 and 17. Obviously I'm not American so I don't really have an issue with Thanksgiving. For me the big issue, in terms of owners times and player availability is the end of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I personally hate giving up either part of my holiday with family to focus on injuries, waivers, game planning, last second inactives while also on the road. And the excise that you can turn it in early is like playing with one arm behind your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcb1213 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I'm a hell no on reduced scheduele for scheduling nightmare reasons All divisions have a completely balanced scheduele as it currently stands. Every team in your division plays a the same scheduele as you do. Getting rid of weeks really messes with that. It's one of the really awesome fairness features we'll lose by dropping games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmad Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Keep the schedule as is IMO. It's frustrating but that's kind of the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whicker Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 We should absolutely reduce the season. I feel very strongly about this. The first playoff week should go first and we go down to 4 playoff teams. I wouldn't mind starting week 2 and getting a bye during Thanksgiving as well. Arguments later tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
