fly3rs18 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Commissioner Roger Goodell says the NFL no longer needs four preseason games, but the league should change its offseason training programs. “It’s clear the fans don’t want four preseason games,” Goodell said Thursday after speaking to high school players at an NFL football clinic in Queens. “It’s clear the players don’t want four preseason games. They tell me that all the time. You ask them that question and they’ll tell you. And we really don’t need it to make the game better. So we have to evolve just as we did a couple of decades ago when we went from six preseason games to four.” NFL and union officials discussed adding two games to the regular season when they met Wednesday for their first negotiating session since February. Teams would still play a total of 20 exhibition plus regular-season games under the proposal. The league would go from four in the preseason and 16 in the regular season to two and 18. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-goodell i completely disagree with the idea of adding 2 games to the regular season. and i also kind of like the preseason games. its a good place for coaches to see how young players can perform in an actual game situation. the starters barely play and when they do its a good way to get some rust off before the season actually starts. there is really no reason to shorten the preseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Finally! 4 preseason games have been pointless and they have been reduced to 2 i love it. It now sucks for the people trying to make the team the have 2 less weeks to shine above the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I disagree with adding it, but I can see why they do it, in the end I really don't care lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentch Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 It's a good thing that they're getting rid of the preseason games, but I don't want to see them add on to the regular season. The 16-game regular season that we've come to know as it is just feels natural, and the players probably don't want extra games anyways, especially when that means that there are more games for teams with nothing to play for.

It will mess with NFL records. Although, Fantasy Football will finally be a 16 game season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
