Sports Business Daily reports the NFL considers Oct. 15 the drop-dead date for a 16-game season that could still be completed by February. Oct. 15 would be Week 6 under normal circumstances. John Ourand and Ben Fischer report the league would strongly want any 16-game season to be completed by the end of February. In that scenario, regular season bye weeks would be eliminated as well as the traditional off week between the conference championship games and Super Bowl. For now, the league is still planning to release a normal schedule by May 7, but it will be constructed in such a way that allows easy reconfiguration. Ourand and Fischer's entire article is worth a click. SOURCE:
So for a wild card team to go to the Super Bowl they would play 20 weeks straight? I imagine the NFLPA will have something to say about that.
Yeah. I think you get rid of the week before the Super Bowl for sure, but I think you need regular-season bye weeks.
Teams with early season byes would get insanely screwed Imagine having a week 4 bye then playing 16 straight weeks into the SB, vs another team with a week 12 bye or something
The problem is the wildcard games. The top 2 in each conference would get an insane advantage by having wildcard weekend off if it's the only bye available to any team all season. I think they'd honestly be better playing a 14 or 15 game regular season than trying to do 16 games with no bye.
So it turns out, Italian Seafood was right an everyone can go freak themselves.
This excrement is nonsense, play the season.
He shook my hand breed tub and walked away
"Hello good sir GM, may we pretty please have your throwaway centers and gords please??!? I'll suck yo'dick!"
Season starts in September, fellas. If everyone hides in their homes that long we'll be Venezuela by the time you come out and nobody plays football.
You guys make such coherent, factual cases.
