2021.....17 Game Season Is Happening

[La Costa Boy]

Just saw on NFL.com that we now have a 17 game season in 2021 with our game 17 versus the Vikings.

[La Costa Boy]

17 regular season and 3 pre-season. As a season ticket holder I would be happy.

Great. Trevor Lawrence will “break” Herbert’s rookie touchdown record.
I refuse to acknowledge it.

Put an asterix next to it.

Herbie will be known to reach/broke them in less games with no preseason.

One thing that they can't take away is the fact that he was "Offensive Rookie of the Year 2020!"

Ha - this actually bugs me more than another week of injuries before the playoffs.

Thank goodness we're at home, though.

He was already down a game since Tyrod got the Bengals start. 15 vs 17 gives everyone else a fair shot to try.

The one that would bother me a lot more is if someone broke LT’s TD record in week 17.

Am I the only one who thinks we should go to 18 regular season games and get rid of pre-season altogether? I want an expanded roster to allow more rookie players an opportunity to play and add depth for when players do go down for a couple of games per season. Every game will have meaning in a long season and they could add another bye week.

I like this, make every game count. Team practices could replace the pre-season games. The first couple of games might be a little rusty, but what the hell!

I am sure that 18 regular season and 2 pre-season is the endgame (or even 20 and 0). wait for the next collective bargaining round....
