NFL shooting for 18 game season


The Question

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
