The problem with the Thursday games is that the players havent recovered. If they went to an 18 week season maybe they could schedule the teams after their bye week. It might improve the quality to be honest. I can't believe you're buying into this bullshit. 16 games is already too much for the players bodies and the NFL is promoting enhanced player safety by adding another two games. Two different topics. I was talking about how extending the season might allow the league to schedule teams after their bye weeks to make the games more competitive. I dont know why you're jumping down my throat about player safety. To be honest though footballs a violent sport. 16 or 18 games probably wouldnt make much of a difference anyway. Plus, like anyone really gives a fuck anyway.

With all of the lawsuits and settlements I'm not sure how player safety and NFL scheduling are not interlinked. I can't wrap my head around why you think an 18 game schedule will help improve the overall play or for that matter, safety that I brought up.

You really cant understand why the Thursday games would improve if both teams were coming off a bye week? Really? As to player safety unless you take contact out and switch to flag football long term health issues are part of the deal. Tons of players are gonna be screwed with poor health down the road. You know it, I know it, and the players know it. If you hate football so much why follow it?

If both teams were coming off of a bye for the Thursday game it would improve, I agree, but why not do that with a 16 game schedule? We go 18 games and soon enough we'll be playing in Bangladesh because they built a new stadium, maybe Singapore. My point on player safety is the NFL preaches it, yet they want to add two more games. This WILL lead to more injuries that will decimate the league further because the NFL only cares about more air time and non- American fans. They don't give a shit about the 90% of true fans, they only care about expanding the remaining 10% whilst they lose the true base.

Wait until we go to an 18 game schedule. Ratings are down.....so let's offer the fans even more games too tune into and thus the revenue. The problem with the Thursday games is that the players havent recovered. If they went to an 18 week season maybe they could schedule the teams after their bye week. It might improve the quality to be honest. What's preventing them from doing that now?

18 games are way too many.
How many big name stars are already having season ending injuries?
Add 2 more games and by the playoffs it's going to be junior varsity football.
Oh and fuck expansion into the UK and Europe.

What's preventing them from doing that now? Not sure I understand your reaction with these dopey icons on the phone. Bye weeks start at week 4. Why can't they schedule TNF with two teams coming off a bye week? What am I missing?

It might improve the quality to be honest. I assume you mean 16 games in 18 weeks. That I could get behind. Give each team an extra bye week and schedule Thursday Night games for teams coming off of a bye. Another issue that the league still has is oversaturation with 3 prime time games a week, across a 17 week schedule, you have 51 prime time games a year, which means that there are 102 team appearances in prime time. Average of 3+ appearances per team. Means that there will be a lot of matchuups that nobody except fans of the two teams playing is going to give a shit about. And Goodell wonders why ratings are down. It ain't rocket science, Roger.

Was this Viking team really undefeated just over a week ago? Bradford and their entire offense looks like trash.

Vikes and Bradford were frauds from day 1.
Zimmer alone will get them 9 wins, but they are pretty meh.
And yet another awful primetime game.

They gotta do something about these pass interference calls.
They are awful and are killing the game.
I love Carr but the Raiders just got not one but TWO gift PI calls in the endzone.
Geezuz the defender can't be anywhere near the receiver or they'll call it.
The game is being ruined.

I'd dig up Al Davis and blow him silly to have Derek Carr on this team
