Not sure I like 17 games, or the extra teams in the playoffs.

It sounds like the covid-19 epidemic had a lot to do with this getting passed. At least from what Florio is suggesting, it seems like the vote may have failed otherwise.

Honestly I'm just happy that it's done and didn't end in a strike or drag on for another year.

I was gonna say this was really unexpected until I read the link Earthquake provided. Not sure I'm high on either the 17 game season or the expanded playoffs but if I had to choose I'd go with more playoff teams. Feels like the extra game is superfluous and will throw everything off at the end of season for some reason. I wonder how they will determine who the 17th opponent is?

Don't mind the extra game if we get rid of one or two of the preseason games.

Perhaps. I also heard somewhere (ESPN?) that the vast majority of votes were cast a couple if weeks ago before the COVID19 explosion. Either way I have been on record for the 17 game season and dumping a preseason game. It'll be interesting to see how it develops.

Since the players get more money it's a win win situation. Only the uber stars miss out for a few years. They will make up for it when they get a new contract. (Except for the Aaron Rodgers type who may be on their last one. Oh well he has been paid over $233 million by the Packers and probably more than that in ad revenue.)

Glad it’s DONE. No fear of a strike.

But another playoff team? Is it going to be like the NBA, where way under .500 teams make the playoffs?
1000 yards for a running back used to mean something. With 17 games, it won’t be such a big deal.

One extra game is fine with me. Seasons have been expanded, and more playoff teams have been added before. The world didn't end.

I like the extra team in the playoffs especially. How many years does some team with a 10-6 or 11-5 record miss the playoffs because the Eagles or some other team in a weak conference wins their division at 8-8?

    And just like that all regular season records were broken, say by to the single season rushing record Mr. Dickerson and that back will be called the best back ever. 5000 passing yards a season will be like it was a few years ago for 4000 and like the 90's with 3000. The extra playoff team is a joke last year it would have been an 8-8 team of the steelers with no starting qb lol. And it would have been the 9-7 Cowboys in the NFC. and the year before it would have been the Steelers again along with the Vikings with an interesting twist. Both them teams had a tie. Basically I can see only the top seed getting a bye now with the #2 seed probably playing a 500 team or below 500. But that team can say they made the playoffs and don't need to make any changes lol.
    Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

    Last year the 9-7 Rams would have made it, not the Cowboys. You know the team that went to the super bowl the year before and played in arguably the best division in football? There is a very good argument that the Rams were more deserving of a playoff spot than any of the hapless teams in the NFC East.

    The Steelers, despite being 8-8, were a rather remarkable team considering how well they did with a 3rd string QB.
