It seems Goodell is playing congress and just making changes for the sake of doing something. Apparently there are serious discussions taking place talking about shortening the preseason(once again) and adding regular season games to make the games "more fan friendly.

Personally, as an avid fan I understand the use of preseason to the organization and would not want to jeapardize the product that is put out there right now. I believe they are trying to connect with more fair weather fans which I can't say if it is a mistake to try Snd appeal to that crowd or not. One thing that worries me is a the length of training camp being shortened and players being thrown at each other with their bodies not ready for five months of pounding.

Plus, IMO, they really screwed up the Pro Bowl by making it some sort of Madden mini game and I'm afraid to see what else they can come up with.

This poo has got to stop. Goodell has too much power in decision making for the league. Nothing is going to change unless we as fans and the players have more input.

ummm...i'm not sure people are actually reading this.

 

The NFL will study and examine the 2013 preseason games to see what can be improved in hopes of offering a better product in the future, a league source said Wednesday.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said his goal is for a more fan-friendly and watchable preseason.

.

.

.

In addition, the NFL has discussed -- and will continue to discuss -- the possibility of lowering preseason ticket prices across the board. One team can't just drop prices; it would have to be a league-induced change. And the NFL can't impose it unilaterally; owners would have to vote on the proposed change at an owners' meeting.

 

ummmm....isn't this a good thing?

dropping the prices is the best move.. 

 

I seriously fear adding 2 regular season games in place of 2 preseason.  The benefits will never outweigh the downside of more injuries.   And quarters played in preseason vs regular season will add up one way or the other. 

 

Especially over the course of a player's 10 year career..  You can't talk about the impact of concussions and then say there's no way 8 quarters vs 2-3 quarters played will not have a profound effect from year to year.. 

 

Not only that but if you only play 2 preseason games, players are going to end up playing more quarters in the preseason as well...  Then it's no longer replacing 2 half ass preseason games for 2 regular season games, but the preseason will be more like 2 regular season games making it 20 full contact games plus playoffs..

 

so this idea to me that it's still an "18 game season" doesn't add up to me..  And you still have playoff games to worry about.

 

 

 

This will have an impact that will water down the game..

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control. Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst rosters in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most volatile franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete disaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.
