Certain guys that have performance based bonuses could be helped by it. Any deals we have now and this offseason we shouldn’t get too worked up about though yeah. Cause that new CBA and influx of money is gonna make it all manageable. Curious what they do for scheduling. I’ve long thought it’d be cool to have a cross conference rival and get to play more often. But now I think it’s probably best to just have it be any cross conference game, but can be any of the 16 teams. Would impact Conference tiebreakers the least aside from W-L and points. But that’s give the league 16 neutral site games every year to play with. Which would allow them to try different international markets. With Jacksonville still having ties to London. You might be able to double dip and get 18 games out of it. Have a team play the Jags in London, then could play their “17th” game in Germany the next week before coming home for a bye. Yeah that’s what I heard, that every team will play one neutral site game. Will be a HUGE win for international markets, which should net nfl more money since they’ll be more popular in other countries. Mexico, Canada ,and London would be the spots I’m hearing. I would give London 8 games a year and the other 8 split between Canada and Mexico Edited January 14, 2020 by DeSean Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany really supported the NFL Europe teams back in the day, it'd be cool to see them reignite that. Throw Paris a game and see how it does, go up to Scotland. But I also hope they keep a couple in their pocket to do stuff within the US. Throw Chargers vs Arizona to like Hawaii, or have the Eagles play the Steelers up at State College. Have the Lions play someone at Ann Arbor. Or go into markets like San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Portland that don't have a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have missed his share of tackles but I’m sure his pct is higher than you expect. This is the most amount of snaps he’s had since he was drafted. I think he will get better That's like saying "man Carson threw for 4000 yards, receivers must have been amazing! " 2 hours ago, nlesthought said: Fair enough I can't get behind this statement that TJ Edwards was our best LB he played 112 snaps this season. He played sparingly in all16 games and still was behind Zach Brown in tackles who played 6. He played 21 snaps vs Dallas the first time around 3 tackles. TJ has potential but that hyperbole is just wow. Not hyperbole at all. In his given snaps TJ played better than any other linebacker, that's a fact. It's not at all crazy to say all our linebackers underperformed and Edwards in limited snaps played at a higher level. The player who played at the highest level is the best. 2 hours ago, Broadway Joe said: TJ Edwards an UDFA was our best lineback this past season? Jesus Christ, we really need to step back and rethink how we value roster construction. I agree but also sometimes really good football players go undrafted becausepeople value athletic ability over actual football skill. London Fletcher was playing at a high level as an UDFA in his rookie year with the rams before becoming their starter next year and being a perennial pro bowler and one of the most underrated linebackers in NFL history. Phillip Lindsay was a pro bowler last season ase an UDFA, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 31 minutes ago, nlesthought said: Expansion? Or just moving teams around like the Globetrotters? Nah just for these 16 extra games we're getting if they pass the 17 game schedule. I don't think we'll see expansion for a long time. And who knows where the game will be by then. If it grows internationally and we can start getting international players, then maybe we'd have enough to add teams. It sucks though cause 32 is perfect for numbers, and would need to add 8 teams to (2 new divisions of 4 to each conference) to keep it that way. Though I guess you could add 4, get to 36, then get rid of a division and do 6 divisions of 6. Which could be something like... Dallas NYG WAS Philly Toronto Carolina Minnesota GB Detroit Chicago Buffalo Cleveland Seahawks Rams Arizona San Fran San Antonio St Louis New England NYJ Miami Jags London Atlanta Steelers Bengals Ravens Colts Titans Bucs Saints Denver Vegas KC LAC OKC/Mexico City though it might make more sense scheduling wis to add another London team, or put one in Germany and put them in the same division as the Jags and 1st London team. That way you can schedule more road trips overseas for teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlesthought Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I could see adding just two and just doing away with divisions and going conferences (AFC/NFC)...X amount going to playoffs for each conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillard, Peters, Kelce, brooks, lane Seomalu played quite well toward the end of the season, his athleticism made him a huge part of the run and screen game, was always getting to the next level.

EaglesFan5-36-81 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Also apparently Hines Ward and Bobby Engram are both expected to be favorites for the WR coach job, which I love, give me a productive vet with a high IQ for the position.
