If the players hate it that much, make that a key point in the next CBA negotiations.

The current CBA maxes non-playoff games at 20. Which means we will be getting 3 pre-season games and 17 regular season games. I think we can all agree that one does not equal the other. I imagine the NFLPA will negotiate different wording on that next time around so they can't shift games without NFLPA input again.

This is a dumb question, but all these games are gonna take place the last week of the season? Seems incredibly stupid to do it that way if that’s the case. Why would most of these teams even play their starters if they’re locked into a playoff spot already. Most of the good match ups would mean nothing.

Of course if the Bills-WFT game was in Landover, WFT could commemorate their Super Bowl 26 championship for its 30th anniversary at the game. The 2031 game will be hosted by Washington, so that game could commemorate the 40th anniversary of Super Bowl 26.

Super Bowls 1, 16, 21, 26, and 51 will commemorate their 55th, 40th, 35th, 30th, and 5th anniversaries, respectively, with rematches this year.

Of those five games, only the Super Bowl 21 rematch is being played at the home stadium of the team that won the original game, the Giants. No doubt the Giants will use their game against the Broncos to commemorate 35 years since their first Super Bowl championship (which was their fifth NFL title overall at the time). They should wear 1986 throwbacks for the game.

Cardinals play at Pittsburgh to mark the 15th anniversary of Super Bowl 43.

It would be funny if the Steelers commemorated SB43 at the Cardinals game, and then wind up losing the rematch - a perfect revenge, to spoil an anniversary of a Super Bowl championship that the team winning this game was on the losing end before.
