Barry McCockinner Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Adding more games to the schedule is bad for the players and the game IMO. Seems it's already written in stone at this point, unfortunately. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjasi Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 17 games is going to feel so strange. The NFL schedule has always had such a nice symmetry to it. I'm sure I'll be happy with the extra game when the season gets going, but right now, the concept just feels off. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcJet Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I like it. Add a real game and kill a preseason game. Extra playoff is good too. I never liked that the #2 seed got a bye. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanatic Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I like it. Eliminate a preseason game. I would assume the team that gets the extra home game in the regular season plays only one home preseason game to keep the season ticket price the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No NFL team should play on 4 days rest. When you look at it from a sports performance and physical preparedness standpoint the intricacies of it are insane. These athletes are doing hours of recovery protocols as it is just from the stress the actual game places on them.. It's really eye opening when you look at the science of load management and see that really no sport in the world handles it correctly. It would be a pretty radical change in thinking and preparation if teams actually followed a synergistic approach to physical preparedness, load management, rehab protocols, and practice regimen, but it would yield crazy results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets0712 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Eventually it will be 18 games. 2 preseason games.. start 1 week earlier. 2 byes and SB will be Sunday before Presidents’ DaySent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2k8 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I did not expect them to add a non-conference game as the 17th game. I like it. Maybe we finally beat the Eagles ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetPotato Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Great. Now we have to wait even longer each year for that win in the meaningless game at the end of the schedule that screws us out of a franchise QB.

MykePM Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 5 hours ago, heymangold said: how do they determine who is the home team? did i miss that in the article? They will alternate the conference that gets the home games every year. This year, the AFC team would be home for all of the 17th games, and next year the NFC teams will all be the home team.

rex-n-effect Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 If they aren't going to add a bye week then they should eliminate the Thursday game so teams aren't playing on four days of rest plus an extra game in the season. This will be good for fans if it brings more disparity among standings so the playoffs aren't two good teams, two ok teams and five 7-9 teams that split on SOS of the opponents' division champion's QB's college football team in 1948.

UntouchableCrew Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I've always been in the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" camp with regard to number of games, number of playoff teams, etc. but the NFL is clearly all about more, more, more. I'm just so accustomed to the final records being out of 16 -- gonna be a weird adjustment. Eagles should suck next year but they own us so I'm not getting my hopes up.
