Final week, I identified that Rodger Goodell had as soon as once more introduced up that the NFL would finally prefer to increase to an 18-game schedule. I additionally put up a ballot. The outcomes of the survey had been considerably blended, with 5% or 7 of you not caring both manner, 29% or 43 of you not in favor of the additional sport, 31% or 46 of you in favor of including a sport, and 36% or 54 of you in favor however with the addition of one other bye week for the gamers.
I additionally requested the next question-
As a fan, do you need to see the season expanded to 18 video games, or do you assume that there are already sufficient video games or even perhaps too many? Assuming that you just favor a further sport and the league pushes the gamers and their union for yet one more common season sport, what concessions ought to the league make to the gamers and the union? Lastly, do you assume this can occur, or was Goodell simply speaking/throwing one thing in opposition to the wall to see the way it got here out and what the response could be?
Beneath are a few of your ideas and answers-
SlayerNation1 believes that much less is usually extra. Additionally, he would not seem to be an enormous fan of the UFL!
Not needed. The NFL is the #1 TV product. Rule #1 of leisure is “at all times go away them wanting extra”.
I might see the NFL increasing the playoff area to eight per convention to maintain extra significant video games on the finish. They’ve 18 weeks of video games anyway.
Extra common season or preseason video games simply imply extra accidents, and further bye weeks probably gained’t assist as a result of the timing is random in relation to any particular accidents. Including extra gamers could assist somewhat however the expertise pool will get diluted shortly. Have you ever tried watching the UFL? I wouldn’t watch it if it was performed in my yard.
Dolfanjoe appears the other of Slayer, if not a bit excessive.
No extra offseason, possibly simply two weeks to have the draft and free company ! Have them play every week apart from the 2 weeks . Properly sure in fact that would come with playoff’s ! Getting that form of cash they need to work fulltime like the remainder of us. Enhance apply squads to 53 gamers and be capable to transfer anyone round anytime you need to . Soccer would by no means finish…………………..
SuperG! says sufficient is sufficient.
I voted “No”. 17 is sufficient video games.
glen55 desires the season to start earlier in the event that they add extra weeks to the season.
If that’s the case, transfer the season up earlier, not again farther. I don’t love snow/ice video games, they don’t actually favor abilities.
Vozzo13 has a degree!
18? LMAO — Dolphins can’t keep wholesome by way of a 10-game stretch.
TheRoo1 is right. In the event that they do that, they want bigger rosters. As to the cap, it is primarily based on a share of revenues, and I might be stunned if the homeowners would surrender a bigger share. Perhaps a greater answer is to not depend the variety of backside salaries of every workforce for what number of roster spots you add.
Sure, however together with it, enhance roster sizes, and a rise of about $15 million to the wage cap.
Roster sizes ought to go up by not less than 5, each sport day and complete roster, some modifications to apply squad as nicely, creating some unpoachable spots and extra flexibility in activations.
daytonadolfan desires all of the soccer he can get!
I’m okay with 18 video games however add the additional bye week!
The feedback had been as blended because the ballot, with a few of you okay or for it and others believing we have already got a protracted sufficient season. Thanks to everybody who took their time to reply the query and vote within the ballot. We are going to return tomorrow night with one other query of the day publish!
