I think the 17 games, 2 byes and 7 playoff teams that they are proposing is fine...why would you rather push for the 18 game?

(besides just more football) Pettiest reason ever. I don't like uneven numbers. I am going to be completely honest. My thought for schedule layout: 6 division (one home one away each obviously) 4 interconference games (2 and 2) 1 in conference division (2 and 2) Same place finishers from other 2 division in conference (home and home for each) That all said, I'm perfectly content with 16 games but I just want even numbers for it tbh. I would just rather 18 than 17. It's awkward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOUCAN Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Addendum, I would be okay with 17 if we do same place finishers by conference unless the other team is already scheduled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontTazeMeBro Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I like it if they stop reseeding and go with a set bracket. I hate reseeding. Like how many advantages does the #1 seed freakin need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just rather 18 than 17. It's awkward. ha ok, yeah I had to think of it as like an extra game that is almost separate, neutral site...out of conference...to get past the maths of it all. So we just keep things as they are with schedule rotation and the league has these 16 extra games to do whatever they want with. It works for expansion too, should they add 4 teams and move to 6 divisions of 6...though you could lose multiple games against your division You play your division once (5), Play another full division (6) and then play one of the divisions in the other conference (6) = 17 games. Or play 3 from each of the two divisions in conference, + all 6 of an inter-conference division. But there are some more complicated ways you can keep multiple division games in. Including some weird 3 conference solutions or (and yes I did make these graphics and just come up with an excuse to post them) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I honestly don't like the expanded playoffs idea. I don't think there have been too many instances where I thought a legit team didn't make the playoffs. In most cases, we see bad teams making the playoffs because they win their division. We don't generally see good teams miss the playoffs entirely. 1 hour ago, Thelonebillsfan said: lol the idea that the owners have the leverage and not the guys who if they elect to stop working, literally shut down the league, is why they keep getting bent over the barrel.

I mean I get this and generally agree with it, but if the league shuts down who do you think lasts longer on the holdout: The players, or billionaires? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we would have beaten the Packers, but definitely would have been a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the PA literally just not have a strike fund? They have the leverage because, as much as it may blow our minds, most NFL players can't afford to stop working. It's only the top 25% or so that have enough money to just stop. And while that may mean that the best players aren't playing, imagine all the average-above average players on rookie deals without endorsements who are living paycheck to paycheck because they bought cars and houses and took care of their parents. A league full of the Daniel Jones' of the world would still be interesting enough to draw ratings, which would almost be a win/win for the owners.

Wouldn't the "win percentage" still be 8/17 in that case, so below .500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
