Three-week preseason, 14-team playoffs could be coming

i dont like it because it ruins season records from years past. I was against the new overtime rule as well(if you got a feildgoal, the other team has a chance to score).to me,it kinda ruins the history of the sport.

Longer OT = More commercial sales... Its a revenue game.

The problem is with these rule changes, it to no surprise pops up after a large marketable team or player is shafted by the rule.

Well (1) the ticket prices are higher for NFL playoff tickets (even for season ticket holders) and (2) the ad revenue on TV is gigantically higher for the league so unfortunately, if it has made it this far to the "trial balloon" being run up the flagpole to see who salutes it, then I am inclined to assume that this is pretty much a done deal. I won't shed a tear over losing the preseason game though. When I first got my own tickets I was kinda naive like, "yeah preseason are not the greatest but they are okay, it's kinda fun to take in the vibe of the stadium and the players, walk around and see the sight, but not really care about the outcome" but after a couple years of that, I got over it pretty d--- quick. But it's basically going to be a money grab, forcing ALL the season ticket holders to spend more.

You have to think about the health of the players. In the long run. As you would need two bye weeks. To pull off a 18-game season.
