This year, 10 teams will play three games only 10 days apart

The 2024 schedule has a wrinkle that affects nearly one third of the league.

Wouldn’t expect anything less

And of course, the Saints are one of them.

And none of them will be worth watching. Just when you think the NFL can't get any worse, it somehow always proves me wrong.

What are they thinking?

They are scheduling like this and pushing to add an extra game. That player safety argument dies a little every season.

What utter disdain for the players.

I hope every player who get injured during those stretches sues them for reckless endangerment.

Some of it is from them (greedily) wanting games on Christmas Day, trying to poach the NBA’s popularity that day, but putting teams through Monday night-Sunday-Thursday night is just mean-spirited. The players shouldn't be too proud to not fuss about this, drop the macho crap and raise a stink, putting your head down and bearing it is not a sign of courage, it’s the opposite…

In the next CBA, mandating rest periods between games and a proper arbitration process should be a priority.

We live in a consumable society.

To the league, and even to the fans to some degree, football players are “consumables”.
Not all that surprising…

If they’re going to schedule three games 10 days apart, then I prefer it to be fair. All teams should have a similar stretch.

This should never happen in today's NFL. They surely don't practice what they preach.
