It's been a long time coming.

I guess it makes sense. Mainly concerned in trying to figure out the fantasy football impact.

Just make week 16 championship week now. Since only 1 team gets a bye teams should still be playing starters at that point.

RIP single season records

I was thinking about an extra bye week but it looks like they aren't doing that. Probably no big deal unless a team is really running a way with a division and can rest players for full halves or something.

That already happened a while ago for passing records, didn't it?

Of course we draw FitzMagic in our 17th game:lol

that's so stupid if they're not going to make them neutral sites.

how is it fair to have one team play 9 on the road and 8 away and others 9 at home and 8 away... ?

Packers at Chiefs
Bears at Raiders
Vikings at Chargers
Lions at Broncos
Seahawks at Steelers
Rams at Ravens
Cardinals at Browns
49ers at Bengals
Saints at Titans
Buccaneers at Colts
Panthers at Texans
Falcons at Jaguars
Washington Football Team at Bills
Giants at Dolphins
Cowboys at Patriots
Eagles at Jets



I guess the plan is to have NFC get the extra road game this year and AFC get it in even years? To minimize loss of parity... but they honestly might as well do 18

[Millennial_Messiah]

also, most of those look like a redux from the games in 2019... Rodgers at Mahomes gets a mulligan since it didn't happen the first time due to Mahomes' sore foot. Seahawks at Steelers, Saints at Titans, Cowboys at Patriots, Bears at Raiders (last one was in London), Panthers at Texans, etc. all games spit out of 2019.

I’ll take a break from ignoring Andy to say, time to fuck off from the NFL board cunt. You said if they extended to 17 you wouldn’t post here(nfl forum) anymore or watch the nfl.

So, fuck off faggot

I'll watch it again when it reverts back to an even number, be it 16 or 18. But I'd prefer 16. 17 is just hideous

Season doesn't start until September, though

Not going to Welch. I'm sitting out the 2021 asterisk 17-game "season" on the NFL forum.

Only pussies & assholes use the ignore-user feature on an internet message board.

I just means they're going to play less meaningless preseason games while expanding the race for the playoffs intensity.

That would be ideal

I don't get why not make it 18 so each team would have the same home and away? 2 preseason games is plenty, the starters never play in weeks 1, 2, and 4 of the preseason anyway
