Yeah that's strange. They should have just made it 18 games with 2 preseason and 2 bye weeks since I'm sure that's where this will end up eventually.The Juggler said:Does any other sport have an odd number of games? Seems a little unfair for half the league to have an extra home game.0 -

I agree. Everything was perfect until they added the additional playoff teams last year. And they're fucking it up even more this year.Poncier said:I always thought the schedule and current division alignment was perfect.
16 games, for 32 teams in 8 divisions. Math was easy, you see each division from the other conference once every 4 years, you see each division within your conference every 3 years.
From a math standpoint, it worked out great.
Don't see the need for a 17th game, but come January I'll be watching.
In my opinion, the quality of play has decreased pretty significantly since the last CBA which limited offseason workouts and the amount of hitting allowed in camp and during practices in the season. On top of that are all the rule changes of the last 5-8 years or so. These changes are supposedly to make players safe, but it's really bullshit since they make every team play a Thursday game on a ridiculously short term around time which leaves little time to recover from injuries and just the wear and tear of the previous game. Now this extra game, and the elimination of one preseason game is just another ever further watered down version of what the sport used to be.
It is all money, obviously. This will never happen, but I would like to see them ease up on some of the rule changes, eliminate the Thursday game, keep the 16 game schedule along with the previous playoff format (which was perfection), get rid of two preseason games but encourage more teams to hold joint practices and scrimmages with other teams (I think these are really useful), and go back to allowing more offseason workouts and hitting in camps.09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

So glad the truth came out of the Aaron Donald case. Too many scumbags get away with bending the truth for publicity and a huge payday0

Major props to Alex Smith able to go out on his own terms. From what I heard, Urban Meyer was trying to recruit him to Jax, but Alex has chosen to step away from the game. Incredible comeback, and I greatly appreciate what he did for the Kansas City Chiefs when they were fortunate to have him as their QB.
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.0 -
