NFL Players Say "NO" to 18 Game Season

Euphoria · 03-10-2011, 12:03 PM

I don't see this as a "for the Players" or "for the owners".

This is about the game.

What changes that need to be made going forward. There are pro's and con's to both sides both have some great ideas and it comes down to compromising to get what you want. Some just don't want to budge.

I use to be for a 18 game season only if you take out 2 of the pre-season games.

Now. I am against it. The reason the NFL is fun and exciting and having popularity is that EVERY GAME MATTERS! You could have teams clinching 4-5 weeks left to go and that wouldn't be any fun.

What they need to do is have a 3rd party in this CBA that represents the fans! "LOOK MO-FO's, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT"

Also Ivory would have made the team with or without the 4 game pre-season. It is up to the coaches and camps to find talent to put on the roster. The fact he was in the pre-season games says they were on to him.

i also was in for 18 because it would kill 2 preseason games. but i saw it as giving a chance for a team that getting hot at the end to takeover a declining leader most of the year, ala the falclowns

Amidst all this drama, that statement is probably the best thing I've heard. What a fantastic idea!
