RavensfanRD Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Meh. This 17th game is goofy. And I hate all of you who signed off on this tomfoolery. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both easily could have gone had 20 in a 17 game season. Edited February 23, 2021 by MSURacerDT55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soflbillsfan Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 So we have 17 games and 7 playoff seeds... whats next participation ribbons? This is turning out to be a NBA and MLB type season. It is going to be watered down instead of resting players week 17 they will do it week 18 and they could essentially ease players in to week 1 without having to start everyone right away. Not a fan of this money hungry move by Goodell and owners. They clearly are doing this to make more revenue off the tv rights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenos Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 3 hours ago, Broncofan said: If they actually just added a 2nd bye week, they'd get the same result of an extra TV week. It wouldn't get them an extra game of local gate - but the on-site ticket revenue is only about 15 percent of the income stream now (and stadium/concessions add another 10, so let's say 25%), while TV revenue is now estimated at close to 60 percent (up from 50 percent in 2015). So we all know this isn't about safety, it's about extra revenue - increasing BOTH gate & TV revenue. An extra bye week would drop 1 preseason game, but gain 1 week of regular-season TV money. But this solution adds on both ends (as gate & concession usually higher locally for reg season games), albeit at the expense of more wear & tear and risk to players (since starters rarely play more than 1-2 halves nowadays in preseason). The NFLPA is so bad that they didn't have a clause that kept the schedule at 16 games, so this could be negotiated. Getting an extra cheque for 1/16 of annual salary doesn't represent the additional risk (and it's just the base salary that gets the bump, not the extra roster / signing bonus etc.). SMH @ their total ineffectual status as a player group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpulse Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 2 hours ago, SkippyX said: I'm just curious about how many of you want to go back to 12 game seasons for player safety? The Bucs played 20 games this year, did they all get hurt? This is a pretty myopic outlook. Physical health is not all about immediate injuries. Long term health is more the concern with this move. A player who played every year at 17 games and retires at age 35 has played almost a full season more than someone who did that just this season. It could shorten careers. Hopefully the boon in cheddar will trickle down to the players so I am not too worried about earning potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
