Been saying forever the move was to just add a 2nd bye
That way you gain an extra week of football anyway, which is a win win for everyone imo, both share the money from the revenue and players get an extra week off, maybe even make sure everyone has a bye before a thursday game
This new one is interesting to me tho
Couple thoughts
Football into late February is just *chefs kiss*. That last 3 weeks of February are usually kinda dead, even though so much is going on. Nhl and nba don't really enter stretch run till March, ncaab conference tourneys dont start till march... so that's a win
17 game season seems kinda weird, its gonna be unbalanced, how would they decide each teams 17th? Rivalries?
2 game preseason, yep
The each team playing international or even non nfl markets is fine, but germany and brazil??? Cant imagine an owner agreeing to that
