No more TNF games with garbage teams

 

[Trey W.]

I’m surprised no one has tried to up the roster and game day active player limit. With all the injuries 53 players and 45 active is too low.

Thank goodness that 4th and 20 rule didn’t pass.

Also, I hate the new numbers as well, guess I’m just an old guy who likes tradition. Is what it is.

 

[Saint Greg]

I hate that idea. That means I could make plans, book a hotel room, then the game gets moved to Thursday night? Moving a Sunday noon game to Sunday night is one thing. Moving it to Thursday is going too far.

Hotel plans are going to be screwed with a lot of cancellation fees if it’s last minute flexes.

One cut day is pretty wild

phew- the number thing was really important, glad it passed...

Credibility just went up to the power of 10

So it's a no go on reviewing these absurd, game altering roughing penalties but players can now wear zero. Fair enough. It tracks.

It's safer. When was the last time that a player was injured while wearing 0?

 

[Eeyore]

Thursday night games should only be after a bye week. If they need to add bye weeks to do it then they can just do that. It's not safe and the football isn't good after three days of rest

 

[kennydfresh]

So Philly is allowed to keep that cheating QB sneak play. Guess its fair game now.

 

[NOLAJM504]

I couldn't care less about it. I don't watch football to notice that the numbers look like amateur hour.

Disappointing to hear that, coming from a Dream Theater fan. I would have thought the details mattered to someone of your musical taste.

Not just that, teams usually have six days to prepare and install a game plan, that gets cut down to three days, there’s no way the quality of games will be as good.

 

[Yatman]

Zeroes are okay. You had center Jim Otto wearing 00 and... Obert Logan wearing 0 many years ago.

"little o" logan was the last nfl player to wear #0 before it was tossed for the position number groups of 1973

bet he picked it because it's an o, not zero

why anyone -- let alone a pro in any sport -- would intentionally pick the losingest numerical connotation in life is a mystery

but of course, brag about it, jag

great job, everyone. i mean, just really fantastic!
