Didn't they learn their lesson last season that oversaturation reduces ratings? It’s absolutely mind blowing, I agree. They adapt to change like octogenarians to the internet and can’t lose a dollar if they tried. It’s nuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, a 1pm start in Beijing is a 1am est start here. Hard pass on games in China imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Also, **** an 18 games season. Titans already can't keep their QB healthy for 16. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not trying to stay up till 1-1:30 on a work night ffs. I think east coast teams playing night games on the east coast is too late too fwiw. At the risk of sounding like a nationalistic arse, it’s the NFL, not IFL. Play the games here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnPatFan Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I dislike expanding past 16 games mostly because of the symmetry and balance of the current system; you know who and why you play each year. 6 games in your division, 4 vs other conference division, 4 vs in-conference division, and the other 2 same-rank in-conference teams. Who do you add games vs without unbalancing it? (honest question, I can't think of a good solution) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 18 games but each player can only play 16 games in the regular season. Rosters up to 45 on game day and 60 for the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggling minutes, games played, etc,. would give us fans yet another aspect of the game to obsess over, but in reality it's a very impractical thing. I mean...just think about it. The roster absolutely has to be expanded, though. Regardless of games played. Edited May 31, 2019 by Heinz D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 This would likely end my time as an NFL fan. It's already a declining product....this would officially be "jumping the shark" IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it needs to be done by any means, but it's not like it will negatively affect anything for us regular fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehops Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) i know it would net the NFL less money than adding a 17th and potentially 18th regular season game but simply expanding playoffs would be good imo. 8 teams per conference, no teams get a bye, the schedule stays the same, etc. the NFL only gets four more games of revenue but it's pretty much the least intrusive way of adding games. teams can prepare the way they're used to, the top seeded teams still get an advantage (home field advantage plus facing a team that's like 8-8) and it adds more excitement (chances of upsets). i think this would be a good first step to adding more games, especially because i think the teams are already seeded well enough for the playoffs with 16 games. honestly, i think the only thing that might make the players open to adding more regular season games is that increased revenue = higher salary cap = higher salary for each player. adding two regular season games should equal out to about a 12.5% increase in revenue. if that was the case, even the bottom-feeders that make $500,000 a year would be getting an extra $60k.

That would be a horrendous idea. Add more confusion for NFL fans for wondering why they're fantasy player is healthy but is sitting out thr game due to NFL rule of only being allowed to play 16 games. Loll that's a disaster the NFL doesn't want any part of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
