I absolutely hate this. We're going to see some really awful teams make the playoffs and some bad football. For what, more injuries?

Actually they will more than likely eliminate one of those 4 useless preseason games plus there is less practice time in this approved proposal. Players union pushed for less contact drills

I kind of like it more NFL the better baby

[ramster]

I loved it when I first heard about it. But Players Union balked but now all set.

The vote was really close and like 500 players didn’t even vote some players are bitter mostly vets I think ??

It will be two preseason games, right?

17-game regular season. Players earn more of the revenue.. I think 48%?

Is it possible that 6-10 could win the NFC LEast division? If they can somehow pull this one out, the GMen move to 1-4...a half game out of first....

ETA: so much for that fantasy...

Prescott is out for a few games at least. (There goes my fantasy football team. )

Jets, Giants and Falcons all (0-5) now. That makes NYC (0-10). All are in the running for the #1 Draft Pick - the Trevor Lawrence Sweepstakes.

The Athletic reports following today’s loss to Carolina that Dan Quinn will be fired Monday or Tuesday.

But but...the Jints just wasted invested a high pick on a QB already... (although Danny Dimes is not the problem there)

Eh, I don't think he's much of the solution either, though. Reminder that they got roasted for that pick at the time, because nobody else thought he was going to be -that- good.

17 regular season games, two byes, two preseason games. Starts 2021.
