B-Man Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Should single-season records be considered broken if they are done in 17 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I'll be a little curious how various incentive programs get restructured, or how they were handled while everyone knew the 17th game would be added. In other words, Singletary gets a $500,000 bonus for hitting xx number of yards in 2021. Now he has an extra week to hit a number that was supposed to be for 16 games. Also curious how single-season records get goofed up. I sere Josh setting a team record for most throwing yards in a season, followed by the usual ATOP downer pointing out that he needed an extra game to do it, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my original idea but per game makes most sense so all years are normalized. Does not work as well with things in smaller volume like interceptions but overall makes the most sense.

Example: Year 1: NFC East @ Home Year 2: NFC West @ Away Year3: NFC South @ Home Year4: NFC North @ Away Year5: NFC East @ ? Would we again get the NFC East at home and never have to play them at their homes? Same with the respective pairings or would we have to play back to back 9 game away seasons followed by back to back 9 game home seasons every 4 years? Seems to me they would have to rotate the home games for divisional games to be fair. They can advance the rotation. Year 5: NFC WEST Home By the time we get back to the NFC East, it would be an away game.

All the rest had more games to get yards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 18 games is next... NFL already aiming for future 18-game schedule, perhaps as early as 2025, per reportsThe league expanded to 17 games for this year The NFL is about to host its biggest season ever, expanding to a 17-game schedule this year. But don't count out yet another expansion in the coming years. According to NBC Sports, the league is likely aiming for a future move to 18 games -- perhaps as soon as 2025 -- if not earlier. The NFL's current collective bargaining agreement, which runs through 2030, outlines only a move from 16 to 17 regular-season games, but Peter King reports "most observers ... think 18 games is on the way," with ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio saying it's "just a matter of time" until an additional week is up for a vote. </snip> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 18 makes more sense than 17... schedule wise. Two preseason games and no more. Each team would play their Divisional opponents twice = 6 games Each team would play two entire Divisions of Conference opponents = 8 games Each team would play one entire Division from the other Conference = 4 games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
