    Completely logical, the NFL has a massive inventory of games that most people never see. They could easily add another bye and make more revenue just by making more games accessible to more eye balls and therefore more ads.

      There's only 48 that dress for the game and there are 55 on the roster so at minum all 55 need to be available to play and have slots for the ability to sign a player for a finite number day contract sort of like how MLB and the NBA does it.

    Simms: “Nobody would have to go to work the day after the Super Bowl which would be great.” Um my sir what year and world are you living in? The only people who “don’t have to work” on mild federal holidays like Presidents Day are people still in old school, comfy office jobs. Literally everyone else works. Very (unintentionally) disrespectful to millions of people who still have to work on mild holidays.

    Lets face it. Divisional games are the first goal for all teams. They should be as evenly played as possible. I don't think divisional games should be scheduled before week 3. This gives them time to establish themselves and make adjustments after a couple of live fire games. I also think that bye weeks should be the same for all games in the division. Playing a divisional opponent unrested while the opponent had a week off un-evens the playing field divisionally. They should also be held consecutively in the middle weeks of the season. Divisional standings should be more truly represented. Fair is fair. But I am not too sure the league cares about that.

    • @chriswatts9610
      @chriswatts9610 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah considering the weight of divisional games when it comes to the post-season, I'm not sure why there isn't a more concise way of scheduling them. There should never be a division in which one team plays 2-3 of their divisional games in the first 6 weeks and another team in the same division that plays 2-3 divisional games in the final few weeks

  • @chriswatts9610

  • @devilsreject5343
    @devilsreject5343 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It's really simple...
    6 weeks in - NFC goes on a bye
    7 weeks in - AFC goes on a bye
    12 weeks in - NFC goes on a bye
    13 weeks in - AFC goes on a bye
    Rotate every odd/even year on who gets the bye first.....
    This solves everything in terms of a bye so everyone gets an even balance bye - make the roster 60 players total.

  • @Oklahoma-Dreaming
    @Oklahoma-Dreaming 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I’ve been arguing that injuries as a function of meaningful games is probably exponential, not linear. In other words just one more game adds more than just 1/18 more injuries; it’s probably worse than that. I’d like to see numbers though.

    • @AceManning18
      @AceManning18 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Almost certainly. I imagine in the same way multiple small collisions are worse over time than 1 giant one, by the end of the season being so tired and beat up already they would be far more likely to suffer significant injuries. At least in my opinion, it makes logical sense.

    • @xIPatchy
      @xIPatchy 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It might resemble somewhat of a reverse bell curve. injuries at the start of the season from guys/rookies that aren't completely prepared mentally to go at 100% game speed at the nfl level. Like you are saying, more injuries occurring later on due to the cumulation of wear and tear throughout the season, resulting in greater risk of debilitating injury as more games are played. Although injuries at the start of the year might also be more prone to being underreported as well for various personal/team reasons too.

    If the players agree to an 18th game, they need to shorten the length of rookie contracts. The longer the season, the shorter the career. The shorter the career, the fewer players who get to the second contract. This is why baseball teams have little concern over teaching every pitcher to either throw it as hard or spin it as much as they can every time. If they ruin their arm three years in, it was just three cheap years for the team and on to the next one.

    • @johnwillhite1723

  • @pdureska7814
    @pdureska7814 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    there should be a rotation where teams get their bye weeks. Meaning this past year if a team had an earlier bye week they should be first to get a mid to late season bye. I dont know if the NFL already does that. It would seem that a mid season bye i.e. games 8 to 12 are the most valuable. Late season byes of most value to teams trying to get healthy for a late season/playoff run. In a perfect world all teams would get a by in weeks say 6 to 10 and then again in weeks 12 to 16. The byes need to be fair for all the teams.

  • @michaelreed5722
    @michaelreed5722 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thursday games need to be eliminated or surrounded by week off before and after. Example, a week 4 Thursday game would also have week 3 and week 5 off. This would be the 2 weeks off in a Borrow proposal. This should be one Thursday game for team and all of them in the middle ish of the season.

    It's time they take the preseason down to 1 game. Yes it hurts aspects of the game we as fans don't care about, however the reality is the games have to come from somewhere. You can't have it all. If the regular season is starting sooner or ending later the players need another bye that's going to add a week so that two weeks between the 18th game and the second bye. It has to come from somewhere.

  • @Oklahoma-Dreaming
    @Oklahoma-Dreaming 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It’s starting to get tricky. If you have an 18-game schedule with two byes that’s 20 weeks, or about five months. It’s a little shorter than that for a couple reasons, one being the classic off-by-one mistake. (Two game weeks is really only one week to start your induction proof). But if you start in September you’ll run the regular season deep into January I believe. Now you could start the regular season the first week of September but I believe that’s Labor Day maybe and the NFL doesn’t want that. So the earliest you’d start would maybe be the week after Labor Day. (You could argue it’s no different as you’re simply substituting a preseason game with a regular-season game. But I think the NFL probably set things up originally to divide preseason and the regular season with Labor Day.)

    • @no2_j
      @no2_j 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They already start the regular season the weekend after Labor Day. With the way they’re heading, with Black Friday afternoon games and Christmas Day games, I don’t think they’re afraid of playing on Labor Day. Now you could argue, it’s the last big weekend of summer and outdoor activities for a lot of people, so maybe that could hurt viewership a little. But I think they’d still do it. If they start that weekend, the regular season would end where the Wild Card weekend is today. Meaning, the postseason only gets pushed back by one week, and the Super Bowl is the day before Presidents’ Day. I’d be ok with that.

    I prefer to see Pro Bowl to play after Super Bowl just like old time did ,but dumbass ogre Goodell ruined pro bowl that prevented players from playoff teams to play.
    1. 18 games with 2 byes
    2. 16 teams playoffs with no byes
    3. Increase rosters from 53 to between 60 and 65 while allow 3rd qb to suit up for game. Also, the practice squad increase from 16 to 20 in case if they need to replace injury or suspend players and exempt from salary cap since practice squad has own salary rules.
    4. Reduce practice significantly since 18 games might be too much for players to practice while players need to participate physical therapy during off days in order to prevent them to get injury.
    5. NFL need to discipline referee crews because they made too many mistakes while I believe that gambling may be factor reason why many games often got fixed by referees.
    6. Don't allow players to return to game after they get concussions while I prefer NFL to hire doctors rather than teams because teams or players often forced to play because of win mode or what not.
