NFL teams voted today to expand replay review to quarterback pass/fumbles when the ruling on the field is an incomplete pass.

Teams also voted to change the criteria for determining draft order, ensuring playoff teams will not pick before 21st and that teams that lose in the Wild Card round pick before teams that advance.

good.

i just wonder if draft picks acquired through trades are going to be affected. i don't think they will but it will probably be clarified.

So the rule change to the draft is effective for this upcoming draft? Seems to me that would hurt a lot teams in regard to scouting. Maybe not but I would have thought they would have delayed the rule to take effect next year.
it doesn't affect this year. the guy writing the blog post used the chargers as an example of how it would be.

screw it i want a 20 game season, get rid of pre season.

I like the idea of having a 18 game season with 2 preseason games. Some preseason games are needed for the teams to evaluate players and make decisions on who to cut and who to look at closer and it gives players that don't get much playing time to try to impress.

agreed.

preseason games are also really more of a chance for guys who haven't gotten a secure job yet a chance to find some team willing to take a chance.

I don't get the Draft change. It should go by record. If a team goes 16-0 but loses in the Playoffs, they SHOULD pick later than the team that went 10-6 but went to the Super Bowl. Just because you have a good Playoff run, doesn't mean you should draft later. It should be a result of what happened during the regular season. In essence, a "cinderella" could get shafted. Not that the last few picks are that different, I'm just speaking in general here.

IMHO

2 scrimmage games 2 preseason games

18 game season

add two more teams to the playoffs that way you have a true wildcard game

I was also thinking that with more games you would need to have a larger roster, go up from 53 to 60 players, to account for the added injury possibilities.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
