I'd still rather go back to the normal scheduling. This is great for this season, but I still like the idea of having at least 1 home game against every other team, and just a more spread out season. While games like this have been intriguing I've also already gotten tired of playing some teams, like Columbus. I could see them changing up the divisions going forward, especially with Seattle entering next season too.

I think they will spread things back out and tweak the divisions going forward. But, across the league, fans and analysts alike have raved about the new mini series format.

I would bet they go to East/West Conferences with 2 divisions each. With 8 games (multiple series) against each team in your division, 2 each (home & away) against the other teams in your conference and a handful of out of conference games gives you a 75-80 game season. 

Less games in the season lets you spread out your schedule to get more primetime national TV spots.

      Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."

      Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...

      Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
