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..

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
