Roger Goodell: Adding 18th game ‘logical’ next step, seeks to play 16 international games per season

[Ohene]

overkill

 

[Ohene]

lets just change it to touch football and make the season 30 games. teams can play twice a week









...fukkin clowns

I don't know why they keep dreaming about this international shyt. If the NBA wanted to expand overseas, I could understand.

 

[Astroslik]

should be 2 bye weeks then

 

[wire28]

Wasn’t nikkas laughing when I said they gonna expand the playoffs. These nikkas all about money they would have 162 games like baseball if they could

@Roger Goodell

what about the players safety??

I think if we continue to focus on the safety, I think 18 is a potential.

What more do you want him to do he clearly said he’s focusing on it. Nvm teams playing 3 games in 11 days

Whatever gets SuperBowl on President’s Day weekend I’m for it

Could more than one bye week work?

I remember when football games were must see tv. But with it being so available throughout the week now, its just “meh. I’ll catch another game later.”

 

[FlimFlam]

How big is the NFL internationally?

it isn't

BUT acquiring market space and influence is invaluable...let along stadiums... alongside all the auxiliary rackets of money that these leagues gobble up

the venture may not have to be traditionally "successful " to be worthwhile

So basically with the 18 game schedule, and 16 overseas games, every team will have:

-9 home games
-9 road games
-1 non-US game every year (alternating home and road)

I can see 16 games being:
-2 or 3 in Canada
-1 or 2 in South America
-1 in Puerto Rico or Austraila yearly
-10 across Europe

You can pretty much throw out any records at this point

That piece of shyt is gonna stick the Saints with one (or more than one) in the 2025 Season, isn't he?!

Oui

Proposed Structure for an 18-Game NFL Season in 20 Weeks​

Bye Week Allocation​

• Each team receives two bye weeks to improve player rest and competitive balance.
• Suggested timing:
  • First bye week: Between Weeks 5-10
  • Second bye week: Between Weeks 11-16
• This ensures that no team has to play an excessively long stretch without rest.
  • Ideal format: 6 games - bye - 6 games - bye - 6 games
  • Alternative format: 4 games - bye - 10 games - bye - 4 games, which matches current standards for a 17-game season with one bye week.
• Eliminates scenarios like a Week 5 bye, followed by 13 consecutive games, which currently puts teams at a disadvantage.

Game Allocation​

• Rotate home, away, and neutral-site games annually for fairness:
  • AFC teams: 9 home / 8 away / 1 neutral.
  • NFC teams: 8 home / 9 away / 1 neutral.
  • Rotation switches every year.
• Neutral-site games:
  • Include locations like Europe, Brazil, or Mexico to expand the league's global presence.
  • Each team plays one international game per season.
  • Teams receive a bye week before or after their neutral game for adequate recovery.

Super Bowl Scheduling​

• Align Super Bowl Sunday with the day before President’s Day, creating a long weekend for fans.

No preseason. 20 games no byes. NCAA has no preseason, y'all supposed to be professionals. Lock in
