Just raise ticket prices and concession prices by 1/8th and leave things as they are.
People will pay the higher prices to make up for the loss of revenue from the extra games. |

Last I heard ticket sales at all NFL games was about 20% of revenue. Could be wrong on the % but I'm not wrong that TV money is why all this exists. If the players want the $5 BILLION in extra pay(they fully know the additional risks to them and their careers), then we as fans should be okay with the plan. |

I would rather have 8 teams make it, and keep the 2 byes. That is still stupid too, but not as stupid.
I'd rather have 18 games instead of 17 games to make the home and away equal for all teams. Still, stay with what works in this case. |

Their plan is for every team to play once outside the country each year. |

The problem is, expanding to 8 teams still doesn’t allow you to have the 2 byes. That would create 3 WC games which of course would give you 3 winner to play the 2 bye teams. You’d have to go all the way to 14 teams to get an even number for the 2nd round.

We have a chance to be the 1 or 2 seed consistently for years to come. I want that first round bye. Not a fan of this.

I hadn't thought about this but with 17 games that creates an advantage for half the league who will get more home games.

I get that the owners are greedy ****s, but I can't see a reason anyone else would want this. 16 games is enough.

Nobody else does want it. But it doesn’t matter. NFL owners know they can do whatever they want and while we’ll bitch about it, our assess will be glued to that couch the first Sunday(Thursday in our case this year)of the season and remain there through early February.

They are seeing the complete dead month that occurs after the SB...that is a lot of money that is sitting there for them to take by expanding the season.

There is no talk of a lockout or anything like that unless the players go to a 17 game schedule. There is no pressure. The players are just a "greedy" as the owners if this is agreed to. $5 BILLION over 10 years. Thats a helluva raise on top of their % of the cap also going up. |
