Packerraymond Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Well there we go, he did speak out. At least most of it is about that 17th game and the lack of a bye for the 2 seed. Both of which I would vote against as a fan if I could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoekd0250 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I tend to agree with not adding a week 17 and another playoff game. It would mess with historic records and short careers with bigger chance at injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I have no issue with players being against a 17th game. But health and wellness and more rest time ? They barely practice now. Everything's a damn walk thru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman5252 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I’m okay with a 17th game. It could be made to be fun (perhaps opposite conference draft order). In all reality players will complain about injury risks but it happens. Like half of starters are going to sit week 17 anyways so it really is an extra game check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannondale Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Download the playbook to my xbox and I'll play as myself. Every game I play constitutes a practice. Thanks Players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st 4 games of the season pretty much sucks due to preseason games where starters don't play. Then there's this padded practice rule of only so many per month. No wonder it takes 8-12 games for many teams to play their best ball. Even more so for teams that have a new coach/system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're going to 17 games and getting the playoff bye out of it for 2 teams, there should be a 2nd bye week during the regular season. A #2 seed with a week 4 bye would need to rattle off 16 consecutive games if they wanted to play in the SB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should absolutely be two bye weeks in a season if they're going to do this, until recently I just expected that to be what they were doing. Silly not to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners wouldn't add any extra stadium revenue, but they would probably add a bit of revenue by having an extra week of shared television revenue. Seems like a win-win for both players and owners.

I reject the notion of needing more off-season time off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the April-July off-season stretch has very few practices, most of it is strength training and the types of workouts to help with injury prevention, seems counter productive to want to cut that. I'd be OK with only being 3 preseason games if they bumped back the start of camp a week. There's the compromise. Though this is all for nothing though, the low-level players are going to pass this deal through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redt Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Average life expectancy for male general population 74, average life expectancy for NFL player's 55. These guy's are trading dollars for 29 years less of life. What contributes to this discrepancy is multiple and while well compensated, you need to be alive to enjoy the money. If I were a player I would demand 50/50 share of revenues and then we will talk about extra games, but maybe I value life more than others.
