there's already too much football on tv as is.

but the NFL will find a way to deliver a product that no one is demanding, and convince them that they want/need it.

and that other embeeded pic earlier in the thread about NFL being right behind golf as being boring...they're sort of right. I mean, sure, when a play is actually going on it's exciting...but there is a LOT of nothing going on during a televised NFL game for 3+ hours.

The absolute worst part of the NFL.

NFL Game Pass Condensed games are great, a 3hour game compressed down to 30 minutes without all the inane talk and commercials. The only way to watch the NFL IMHO.

Instead of the "London Bridges", maybe a co-ownership with an American city could work better. Let them share one of the NY or FL teams

For non-competitive teams longer seasons would reduce local interest, poses risk to the top teams.

The season is already a grind, don't like these proposals much.

NFL is gonna end up expanding itself into an implosion.

Vegas casinos pairing up with the NFL will be the final nail...if it weren't for Mahomes being an alien, I would have already been done.

This NFL season, as a whole has been sketchy AF...and it was already sketchy.

This is a bad idea, IMO. There will be a huge difference in QB play between the top 10 and bottom 10. Like a huge gap.

suzzer99 · 11-10-2021, 11:21 PM

Obviously they're going to 18 games. 17 is just to force that issue.

I can’t see sellout stadiums in London lasting a full regular season. They sell out at the moment because people want a taste of NFL and there are NFL fans here who just want to experience a game. But probably not 100,000 people every two weeks. The travel thing would suck as well. (Again, it’s probably ok for one or two games a year). Canada or Mexico makes more sense.

NFL Europe could work if they revamped it maybe? Like each NFL team had a second string team instead of the practice squad or something? You get to see talented rookies before they get into the full NFL is the draw then. I don’t know, could work?

Yay?...you mean the guy who dragged his ball-sack across the face of a female trainer...then used his family money/influence to get her fired has a contract with Vegas casinos?

Sounds about right...

Remember that one time...where Manning sent some goons to shake-down the guy who reported the HGH situation and threatened to ruin his career...kind of like that trainer in college?

I sure dont...no behavioral pattern of entitlement...that's a racist conspiracy theory. We all need a hero in troubled times...right?

I just want to enable and reinforce the worst aspects of the human condition....Go Ceasers Sportbook!!!!! THEY ARE NFL ROYALTY!!!! Gods amongst men...sometimes...when you are a God...you just have to smear your balls across the face of the plebs to remind them how rich your father is...kind of like Jesus but only more Satanic.

I just don't see it happening any time soon... not with Covid. Hell, if anything Covid likely pushes any sort of expansion out 5-10 years.

Toronto, London, San Antonio... St Louis. C'mon... sure London makes for some nice storylines, etc... but few give a damn about international games. And, you're not going to go into that part of the world and truly start attracting loyalty with soccer being so popular.

It's all pipedreams right now.

If this happens it will be time to introduce “Load Management” into the NFL.

carlos3652 · 11-11-2021, 07:40 AM

I think we are getting closer to a relegation sport..

Have a premier football league, and a championship football league.

20 teams in the top tier. 4 regional divisions of 5 teams. Top 2 in each divisions go to playoffs bottom team relegates to bottom league.
16 teams in the bottom. 4 regional division of 4 teams. Division Winners move up.

Introduce a Cup where all 36 teams play a playoff style tournament.

Premier :
Home and Away games in division 8 games
Play 1 other alternating divisions per year, 5 games
Play vs the Same seed of the other 2 from year prior. 2 games.
15 regular season games total.
Tournament - you technically at most would play at minimum 1 and at most 4 games.

Championship. Same structure but instead of 1 division you play 2 alternating
6 games home / away in division
8 games for 2 other divisions
1 game same seed from the other
15 games
�� profit and would let shitty teams be where they belong and you watch the best football all the time.
