NFL Offseason 2020

Greed. Always been a League of despicable owners led by a $50M super villain.

The football is good, though.

Fans don't want any more NFL games.
That said, they'll still watch em.

That said, if it results in this:
17 game regular season + a 2nd bye week = the playoffs are pushed back 2 weeks. Making the Super Bowl the day before President’s Day, a national holiday

I might be in.

[jfish26]

Would rather just move the holiday, or the Super Bowl. No need to water down the regular season.

There’s so much money in mediocrity. 9-8 is great!

I would like to know (and it is impossible to know) how Chiefs fans would vote on this proposal now, as opposed to like at the end of the 2018 regular season.

Now, it'd be like 92/8 against a single bye.

Might be exactly inverted on 1/1/2019!

Oh for sure.
But I had to be into work at 8:30 AM the morning after the Super Bowl.
I had Presidents Day off.

If they insist on Sunday, and I can have Monday off, win.

Count me in. More NFL is better. Player safety is a player issue, not a fan issue. Don’t want to get hurt? Don’t play. Fine with me.

They just need to move the fucking Super Bowl to Saturday.

Who brought up player safety?

More NFL is better? Not necessarily. Watering down the regular season seems like a bad move to me and rewards owners more than fans.

Sorry, Player safety was not meant to be directed at you, I just know that is a common argument against expanding the schedule. Also I don’t see how adding one extra game somehow waters down the regular season. One more week on NFL games is a benefit to me. More gambling, more Pat Mahomes, more fantasy, more of the greatest TV show on earth. Lastly, I’m not an anti-owner guy so I don’t give a shit if owners make more money.

[CrimsonNBlue]

The two changes together heightens the importance of the playoffs, which waters down the regular season. The extra playoff teams rewards mediocre football and a financial incentive for owners to create good, but not great football teams. So the end game of not caring if owners make more money means the fan is treated to a worse product.

Preach CnB.

Right. You might argue that what I've posted about the effects is speculation, but the decision itself was not made for the fans, and certainly not for the players.

Shefter going mouthpiece for the league shows how much the league owners have won.

[PhDhawk]

What percentage goes to the beer vendor, the parking attendant, and the (g)usher?

Shortening the regular season is more likely to happen than shortening super bowl week by a day.

You’re taking the side of a Neanderthal who has a 69 joke on his Twitter.

Owners get way too big a share as is. Incidentally, you can watch the season opener of the 1970 NFL on Youtube--"this week in the NFL ." Crazy ball. The Saints players kept getting injured on a chain link fence and terribly planted bushes. The turf in Pittsburgh was brutal. Late hits allowed. Surprised anyone survived.

You have to agree with this part of it though. It’s almost factual:

“The two changes together heightens the importance of the playoffs, which waters down the regular season. The extra playoff teams rewards mediocre football and a financial incentive for owners to create good, but not great football teams.”

You get an extra 2 weeks of football. Yay.
