I’m sure the players won’t be overly happy about it either Players voted for it as part of the CBA, with a reduced pre-season meaning they don't actually play any more games. It's good for them, though. Another fixture equals more revenue, which means a larger cap and bigger contracts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmen Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 As a fan i will not be happy until we are up to a 38 game regular season. No split though as it’s shit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 17 game season sounds great to me. My only complaint is that I'd rather they started earlier instead of moving the Super Bowl back a week. That way you could have a triple header on Labo(u)r Day, like Thanksgiving, which would be brilliant for the opening week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a haul for the Dolphins to move back 8 spots Absolute fleecing of SF by the Dolphins here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antiochas III Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) The International Series is being re-done. UK reduced to two matches - both now hosted at Spurs.

Brummie Clyde Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Germany long overdue some games, so glad for them. Could probably host matches in Spain and the Netherlands too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, also every team has to host one before it starts again, so no teams (eg Jags) can play more than one home game every eight years and no team (eg Packers) can opt out altogether. Seems to address some of the issues with fairness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the volunteers part means that they can play more often if they choose to. 4 games over 8 years = 64 teams so there must be teams playing more than every 8 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) I took it to mean they would have volunteer to give up one home game every eight years... if each team plays one home and one away game every eight years that works out the right number of games. I may be wrong, though! Edited March 30, 2021 by Bully Wee Villa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, though! You may be right but the way it states "still permitted" would indicate that there is a degree of choice. Also the divisional and 1 opponent exclusion severly limits the games that can be held. Also going to be a bit of a bummer if it happens that the occasions that your team is playing happens to be in Mexico! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as it was fair it would be okay... so only one out of every four international games any team has is in Mexico, one is in Germany and two are in London. Be shit if your team plays one international game every four years (or less) and it is in Mexico two or three times in a row. I assume they would prevent that happening. I suspect this is just for a few years while they gauge the effects of Covid on travel and attendances. Then I could see them keeping the Mexican and German games and going back up to four London games. Maybe adding another couple of games in Germany/Mexico/Canada/rest of UK or rest of Europe so as a whole conference plays an international game each season. In the meantime, I'm thinking a weekend in Berlin or Munich taking in a German league game, a Bears and about a thousand pubs sounds class Edited March 30, 2021 by Bully Wee Villa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
