The NFL has Officially Expanded to 17 Games

Wish they would scratch the opening Thursday night game, and move the opening day games back to the Sunday falling on Labor Day weekend. Like they did back in the good ol days.
 
If you only watch the game every 10 or so years, why do you care about the tradition of what day its on?
I said I typically don't watch but this isn't about me. This is about fans and the NFL wants maximum exposure for tv.
 
No extra bye week. THe league will move the Super Bowl to Presidents day weekend in 2023.
President's Day?

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute...George Washington was a slaveowner for 56 years, for God's sake -- you mean to tell me that the woke haven't canceled that **** yet?


Moving the Super Bowl to that holiday weekend makes sense to me, given the lost production of millions of workers who happen to call in "sick" on the day after the game every year.
 
I typically don't watch the game if the Steelers aren't in it.
Watching other teams lately is often depressing. Admit it, you knew that 11-0 start was a weak 11-0.
This means Shades can go 9-8 and keep that "never a losing season" record intact.

I'd rather see a change up and watch him (SBWHCMVLT) win a PLAYOFF game.!

Attention NFL players. You have been complaining about practice and preseason and the wear and tear on your bodies. You also complained about Goodell's punishments. You just agreed to more punishments at the whim of Goodell, and you just agreed to play 17 games which is almost certainly just a step toward 18 games. You agreed to this for money. So shut the **** up!!!

11-0 didnt feel weak until the last scraggly games. We fell apart with injuries and no bye weeks.
I think we benefitted from a number of opponents having players out with the 'Rona.
 
Player safety?


The NFL has only given the smoke and mirrors implication of actually caring about player safety, what makes anyone think that will change. NOW nfl star safety has had many rules changes and referee sightings to take care of them.

Well at least they can smoke pot and pretty freely use performance and recovery enhancing substances without much issue. The testing is pretty lax now overall. Unless they don't like you, see James Harrison for testing reference protocol.

It's a win for fans who don't have to pay premium prices for as many low quality practice games.

They should allow roster expansion by at least 3-5 more players for depth. Allow the practice squad to expand as well.
