Oh, sure. Take away one preseason game where starters may be on the field for one quarter and add a regular season game where you go all out for sixty minutes. They're exactly the same thing.

If anything, this only means even more injuries, worse quality of product on the field and more meaningless late season football. But at least they get to charge you full price for it! Hooray for unrestrained capitalism!

The more they do this, the more the NFL will turn into a war of attrition. It's hard enough to keep these guys healthy for a season, much less adding another full speed, high impact game to the schedule. Another bye week and expanding the roster is going to be the only way to do it and keep people interested. It seems like half the playmakers are done for the year by week 10 anyway and the season starts getting boring. Probably why we see so many questionable/terrible calls that lead to upsets and closer divisions to keep the season somewhat interesting.

every team having an international appearance every year is almost guaranteed right now.  Panthers will be the Home team in Germany once every four years in the current rotation (2028 being next).

List of home game markets:

  • Argentina: Dolphins
  • Australia: Raiders, Rams, Eagles, Seahawks
  • Austria: Lions, Colts, Chiefs, Pats, Seahawks, Bucs
  • Brazil: Lions, Dolphins, Pats, Eagles
  • Canada: Bills, Bengals, Cards, Lions, Vikings, Seahawks
  • China: Rams
  • Colombia: Dolphins
  • France: Saints
  • Germany: Falcons, Panthers, Lions, Packers, Colts, Chiefs, Pats, Giants, Steelers, Seahawks, Bucs
  • Ghana: Eagles
  • Greece: Chargers
  • Ireland: Packers, Jags, Chiefs, Jets, Steelers, Titans
  • Japan: Rams
  • Mexico: Cards, Cowboys, Broncos, Texans, Chiefs, Raisers, Rams, Dolphons, Steelers, 49ers
  • New Zealand: Raiders, Rams, Eagles, Seahawks
  • Nigeria: Browns
  • South Korea: Rams
  • Spain: Bears, Chiefs, Dolphins
  • Switzerland: Lions, Colts, Chiefs, Pats, Seahawks, Bucs
  • UAB: Rams, 49ers, Commanders
  • UK: Ravens, Bears, Packers, Jags, Chiefs, Dolphins, Vikings, Jets, 49ers

So if we're *not* the home team, then we should keep an eye out on our road trip schedule for any of these teams and assigned home countries for potential matchups

Example:  if we're playing the Packers as a road trip, there's a chance that the NFL would make us play in Ireland or the UK for that matchup to align with GB's home marketing country

How much money is enough money? Looks like the NFL is hellbent on becoming like the NBA where the league's best players consistently get hurt and miss games. People pay to watch the best players. There's no product without that.

The NFL like the NBA needs to wake up and realize this is not 20 or 30 years ago. These newer generations of players outside of rare outliers will never be ironmen like previous generations.

But it's all about simple greed. Out of touch elites like Robert Kraft will never learn.

Check out the rant by PK Subban about the culture difference between NHL and NBA. Now while this doesn't necessarily apply to the players, I think it applies to the owners. The owners are losing touch with the fans and it's becoming more about money than the people that pay to watch it. Conversely, it's why Banana Ball league become such a huge success. It's a fan driven sport that people get to immerse themselves in. Football is losing that in a hurry and owners like Kraft will keep true home grown fans away if it keeps up.

Hey Roger,

Thailand, Thailand, Thailand....

Nope. No Thailand. Must be a mistake on the schedule. 

Sincerely,

Bob.

    • As a Panthers fan I know what incompetence and doubling down on mistakes looks like. The Bills are fools for not just going ahead and cleaning house. Already seen that scenario play out with Fitterer. And it will end the same way for them.
    • Ive watched every snap he has played and the dude has a howitzer  CJ Bailey is noted for having impressive, "elite" arm strength with the ability to "push the ball downfield with ease," consistently completing deep shots with high yards-per-attempt, and threading tight windows with velocity, making him a modern NFL-caliber quarterback prospect with no significant arm strength concerns, per 247Sports, The Duke Chronicle, and Trinity Road Times. He's described as a "twitchy thrower" with long limbs, capable of making difficult throws under pressure and creating plays off-schedule, demonstrating both power and placement.    Key Aspects of CJ Bailey's Arm Strength:   Deep Ball Prowess: He ranks highly among Power Four quarterbacks for deep shot attempts, averaging significant yards per attempt, showing he can easily get the ball downfield. Velocity & Zip: He delivers throws with "requisite zip," layering the ball over defenders and hitting receivers in stride, notes Write For California. Tight Windows: Bailey successfully challenges tight windows and places the ball well, even when layering it over multiple defenders, say Write For California and 247Sports. Off-Schedule Plays: He can make throws with power and accuracy even when scrambling and creating his own space, showing advanced arm talent, notes 247Sports.    In short, Bailey possesses the arm talent expected of a high-level modern quarterback, able to generate both power and touch to make all throws, say 247Sports, The Duke Chronicle, and Trinity Road Times.   
    • He has gunslinger tendencies but I am telling you, I don't see a high caliber NFL arm. It's very, very average or below.
