I wonder if the NFL goes to a 17 or 18 game season if the international series would take up one of those games. For instance a team could play 8 home and 8 away games and one at a neutral venue.

Outside of London, Germany (who kept afloat NFL Europe until its demise), and Mexico I wonder what other sites could host games - maybe US cities without a franchise?

I would say The Netherlands, but attendence was quite horrible for the Amsterdam Admirals. Still a mystery as to why that franchise stayed around for that long.

Other US cities would be a good idea, especially with a 17 games schedule. Wouldn't mind overseas games either, but I don't know if attendence would be good enough for something like 16 games over here. Maybe 1 in Germany, 1 in England and 1 in Mexico.

I wouldn't mind seeing an expanded schedule, but they would definitely have to increase roster sizes AND protect QBs more. Football is just too brutal of a game.
Goodell does want to expand the NFL overseas. Well at least internationally. We wants a team in Toronto, that's for sure. I could see Mexico City, London and maybe Tokyo. Not sure NFL teams would be too excited about that kind of jet lag, though. I know the Packers HATED having to travel to Tokyo for an exhibition game.

The Packers inactives:

CB Will Blackmon
RB Brandon Jackson
CB Brandon Underwood
FB Quinn Johnson
LB Brad Jones
C Evan Dietrich-Smith
RT Breno Giacomini
DT B.J. Raji.

I was one off with my guess. Underwood is inactive whereas I had Thompson being inactive.

Well-done, massey. I was off by two guys, because I thought Swain and Rouse would sit. I'm glad I was wrong about Swain. He made a big play on the fake punt.

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.
beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty
Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact
Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy
Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games
