2021.....17 Game Season Is Happening

[jamrock]

Odd number means some teams have 1 more home game than others

[Blue Thunder]

All the AFC teams are home this year and all the NFC teams will be home next year, and so on.

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.

Don't think they want to get rid of preseason. Coaches don't anyways. I'm not in favor of 17 games. I know as a fan it makes the season longer but it was fine the way it was. Three preseason games should be enough with 16 games.

Many records will fall now.

I like the move to 17 games. We get a chance to play the east coast teams on the NFC side more.

So we play the Vikings. I want to pay them back for that game in 2019.

And records fell when MLB went from 154 to 162 games. That’s probably one more thing they’ll like. The extra excitement from records being broken.

That’s a smart way to do it. So that everyone in your conference and division is on a level playing field.

You might get the next PM...or the next David Carr. David Carr had freakin' 46 TDs his senior season alone!!

I don't think they can do it for TV purposes - granted, there has been more cross over of AFC games on Fox and NFC games on CBS - but they should pick a week and have all the "crossover " games

I read they are doing away with CBS just doing AFC and Fox just doing NFC - - thats the only way I have known it NBC did AFC and CBS did NFC and than they switched
Oh well...

It makes sense to move away from one network having mainly one conference.

I'm liking that the Chiefs get Rodgers and the Packers and the Chargers get Cousins and the Vikings.

The only record of importance is Superbowl win.
Could care less if Herbert's records get broken.
I'm sure he'd say the same thing. #boltup
