Well the last talk I heard was they were going to try to do it where the entire conference had the same and they were going to alternate between AFC/NFC on the extra home game. This way what you just said wouldn't happen.

Injuries certainly become more likely. I wonder if we'll see players sitting, a la the NBA.

I think every team must play one neutral site game.
We already have Mexico City, London, get ready for more locations. And who knows, I think they could do domestic neutral site games. Oklahoma City, Omaha, Orlando, Hawaii, San Diego, San Antonio, who knows |

They might do that for the next several years to try to pinpoint expansion areas. I think anyone who doesn't see this as an eventual lean to expansion is fooling themselves.

Rumor is that every team will play an international game every year. If true, there is your still balanced schedule of 8/8 Home/Road games.

Would be kind of funny if in Week 17 they flip everyone's stadiums; Chiefs play Broncos in Carolina, Raiders play Chargers in Minnesota. Some teams would get hosed with the weather, but at least it would be a neutral site and a reason for local fans to see some players they normally wouldn't get a chance to see but every four years, etc.

If it's all international, I would initially want the Broncos and Patriots to play in Wuhan. But if it's still under quarantine (and assuming a non-compete with Canada), I'd go with Shanghai, Kolkata, Hamburg, London, Stockholm, Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Lima, Johannesburg, Sydney, Seoul, Bangkok, and Tokyo. I'd avoid any countries with totalitarian governments and/or terrorists. |

The tricky part would be scheduling a game between non division teams and have it be a neutral site for both teams. Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans might play in Knoxville? Also would need to be set up to sell lots of tickets. It still sounds like a scheduling and fairness problem. |

16 games between London and Mexico. I imagine most will go to London.
I too think this eventually leads to expansion, and then an 18 game schedule with two byes. |

Eight playoff teams and no bye is a better idea
