I have no problem with that at all. What ever they need to do to help prevent a lockout. It will make it a little harder for some of the URFA to have a shot at making the team though.

I was watching NFL Live today and Clayton (A.k.a. Baby in a suit) was talking about a cease fire compromise contract that the NFL sent to the PA that included an 18 game season. Minus 2 exhibition games of course. What would you guys think about this?

My guess is it will probably happen.

No.No.No.No.No.

I don't know why Roger Goodell keeps doing crap like this.

This isn't what the players want, and it's not what the majority of most fans want.

By fans, I mean the ones who truely follow and understand the game BTW.

This is simply a financial move, and it makes me sick, because of how little concern it shows for the players.

I would support it, but this is a very good point. Decade old records would be broken left and right.

Its true, just as now they say things like "this is the best record, since the merger" they will start saying how the records now are since the season expanded, to separate itself from the past. Still will suck, but i would welcome more games.

And btw, Inception is an awesome movie

Not quite.

The NFL had a 14 game season after the merger.

That's why so many rushing records are being broken.

I too heard this on NFL Live. Personally, though two extra weeks to watch Carolina sounds like a blessing, Chris Carter brought up the point that years down to road when players are in their 40s and 50s, two extra games a week would be severely felt in their future. 16 seems like almost a eternity considering the beating each man takes. If this were to be implemented, roster sizes should increase.

I think I'd rather watch my favorite players play for a longer career than a couple of games that could be meaningless depending on a teams record for playoff implications. Also, 2 more weeks only means more money for players, or certainly the athletes are going to push for an increase in minimum salary.

      Comparing a random stat to another rookie QB has nothing to do with the current subject.  Tom Brady had a 6.0 YPA his rookie year.  I hope you're not using one stat to define success of a QB? It's not a problem to want him to do better based on where he was drafted although I still contend it doesn't matter after the fact.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Russel Wilson or any other QB.  It makes little difference once you're in the NFL.  Nobody gets a ring for where they were drafted.   Higher draft picks will get a little more time in most cases as teams want to make sure they've exhausted all avenues before they admit a draft pick can't play.  Other teams might pick them up thinking it wasn't the player but the organization and/or other coaches that caused the player not to succeed.  It's people's expectations that are wrong.  If we could go back and redo all the draft and put guys in the correct draft spot based on how well they played in the NFL, that would be nice.  Then your argument would make some sense.  People assume that where a player was drafted is a statement on how good that player is when the reality is there is a lot more luck than skill in drafting. If Coker turns into a pro bowl receiver and XL becomes a bust nobody cares except fans and the media. What we really should say is it's not too much to expect a player who has started at QB for a team over the last 2 years to be better than he currently shows.   Don't compare 1st round picks.  Compare starting QB's in the NFL.

      Defense is turning around?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      They’re gonna have to go up against a real offense before any kind of judgement can be made of them.  Tlaw looks like damaged goods, Kyler is completely washed, and Penix….well…. they look better compared to last season but that’s what you’d expect with a healthy brown and horn.  I haven’t seen anything that indicates they’ll be considered an overall good defense when the dust has settled. 2002 it is not.
