AFC teams get to host the 17th game. Guess which AFC team hosts the Seahawks.....................

The preseason will be reduced from four games to three to maintain compliance with the collective bargaining agreement, which limits the total number of preseason and regular-season games played to 20.

There will remain one bye week per team. The season will begin on Thursday night, Sept. 9 and will end on Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022. The Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, Feb. 6, 2022 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and the Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles has been pushed back one week, from Feb. 6 to 13, 2022.

I feel like this was rammed down everyone's throats by the owners, when most fans and players either don't care, or didn't want another game.

SuperbOwl moved to a week later. But if it falls on President's Day, many of us will get that day off we want and/or take anyway.

But they prove otherwise. Have a 18 games season. But gotta get away from Thursday games. Fans want to see their best players not get hurts.

That is another story but did you know OJ did 2k in a 14 game season
in 1973?
17 games will really pad those stats up for all

The players voted to allow it. They shouldn't be whining all of a sudden because they got an increase in their share of the total revenue. That's what they agreed to.


It's silly for the players to want to drop OTAs and training camps. Didn't they see all the soft tissue injuries that happened last year? If they don't practice hitting in a game setting, they're going to get blown up, and lose a year or 2 off their career from their bodies not being in shape.
