The owners have proposed expanding the regular season by two games, to 18 and shortening the pre-season from four to two.


I don't like this at all. The NFL already has a shortage of talent and we want to expand the season two more games? We'll have to expand the rosters too.

I'd like to see two more games count, however, then you can throw out a lot of the stats from the last 20 or years of the 16 game season. Suddenly rushing for 2k is the 90's version of 1k. Passing for 5k is diluted as well.

What do you think about going to 18 games?

No. I don't get the reasoning. College players play 12 (not including any bowl or conference championship games), the jump from 12-14 to 18 is a big one.. They already have a rookie wall as it is.

More games = more income for owners, you guys actually think any of them care if the players will be tired or not`.

Still, a preseason game isn't a regular season game. You play half of it at most.

18 regular season games, the team with the least injuries will have a huge leg up on everyone else. In a 16 game season, the injury count is already unreal.

Heck, look at how many key players we had injured for us last year. Imagine 18 games.

I don't like it.

As a fan, I'd like 2 more regular season games.

I used to like preseason games a lot more before the damn announcers ruined them for me. I liked the opportunity to see the second- and third-stringers. To get enthusiastic about the no-names. To debate who had what skills and who was just a guy about to be cut. I've never been able to attend training camp, and so that was really cool.

Preseason was also a fun time to watch games between other teams, and think about who might be cut (and then picked up by the packers).

But of course the networks and their "storylines" babble about this or that star, their damned booth conversations, their missing of several plays in a row and virtually ignoring the action for quarters at a time, ruined the preseason games for me.

So, I'd rather see two more regular season games than two preseason games.

But if they go that direction, they'll have to change the roster rules. Get rid of the inactive list, for a start. Change the PUP/IR rules. Increase the roster size.

On the other hand, if I were a player, I'd hate the idea. Two more games means two more weeks of pounding on the body.

And if I were a player, and the owners went ahead with it, I'd be more interested than ever in getting a pit bull/asshole agent, holding out for higher salaries, and all the rest. Because two more games of wear and tear on the body means an even shorter career and/or even more accumulating medical problems for life-after-football.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Expanding to 18 games, means by year five, you'd have 90 games under your belt, where as with 16 games, you'll have 80. That's a lot more wear and tear.

The new dead 'age' for running backs will be 28/29.

True about RBs.

One more thing in favor of 16 game seasons - money for people who aren't rich (or would rather not spend that much money on games). Preseason games are cheaper. I've only seen one regular season game but seen a bunch of preseason games.

I'm greedy I want 18.

16 games is way too short for me.

More football fix is what I need.

I feel very wrong now!!!!!!!!!
Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (7h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (11h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (11h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (12h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (12h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (12h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (12h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (12h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (12h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (12h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (12h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (12h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (13h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (13h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (13h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (13h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (15h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (15h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (15h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
