That's not a very good thing to go by. What about 2017 preseason?Well, based on last preseason, they suck.

Ok they're awesome. Happy?That's not a very good thing to go by. What about 2017 preseason?
I’d be shocked if the networks paid less than they did in the last round of contracts.The good news is the owners realize the preseason exhibition games are a missed opportunity for additional revenue with the new TV contracts coming up which with viewership down as alternate means online compete for the public to view is vital to the NFL not ending up with a smaller piece of the pie.
There’s a possibility without adding 2 games to the schedule the league could for the 1st time in NFL history have to settle for a smaller contract with the networks. Which of course means a smaller share for the players as well assuming their sharing percentage stays the same.
Always follow the money trail Cowboy fans.

No. I don't know if they're any good.Ok they're awesome. Happy?
I doubt all the stars on a team would sit at once.I would be shocked if the networks paid less too.
Then again, I would be curious to see how network execs would feel about paying for these additional games. I don’t know how enticing two extra games, where the star players aren’t all playing, is incredibly exciting to them. Though I could be wrong.

It’s been estimated at as an extra $500 Million if you can believe that.I would be shocked if the networks paid less too.

They don’t think that at all. The players have made it quite clear in the past that they are not in favor of increasing the # of games in a season. This proposal from the owners is in appreciation of that concern. Personally, I’m undecided and need to learn more.
There’s already reports it could happen. Less people are using cable and dish as their provider to watch TV. Live sports hadn’t been as effected as other programming but has finally begun to feel its effects as well.I’d be shocked if the networks paid less than they did in the last round of contracts.

The revenue is driven by sponsors advertising. Why would they want to pay more for less viewers. It’s simple economics and why adding two games might provide the balance versus losing viewers.
I’ve never thought of this, and I freaking love it. They will have to massively expand rosters. 18 weeks of nfl football? Hell yeah, make it happen.With a 16 game limit per player.
You, my friend are in a massive minority.been playing 16 games since when70s? You are on c ack if you think they will ever go to 12.So ****** stupid. Being forced to mix match rosters for certain games when never in the history of this sport have you had to do that. The last thing the NFL does is increase their season. In fact, I'd love to see a 12 game schedule with 2 bye weeks. No out of conference games. 18 is waaaay too long. 16 is already an extreme grind of attrition.
Yes. People talk about it just as much, but consume in different ways.I think they also need to update how they determine how many people are watching the games. People who stream through reddit or other means, are still being exposed to the broadcast put out by the networks and the commercials. Since the streamers don’t have their own cameras filming the game.
I think the way they determine ratings is outdated and doesn’t capture the streamers though. So I think when all is said and done. More People are still being exposed to the commercials being broadcast by fox, cbs, etc.
I recently participate in a Nielsen survey and there was barely any questions about the entertainment and media I consume online through apps on my phone for instance. It was all based on traditional TV, radio and newspaper.
America wants more nfl football. Are you not seeing this?What the league fails to understand for a long time now, you have a great product there is no need to constantly change that product.
I loved it... they can’t expanndgames because of this wussy country we now live in. I love the added pressure on coaches to pick when a player sits. I love the idea...love love love.Imagine the pressure that coaches will face for "sitting" a star player and it results in losing a seemingly winnable game and the team misses the playoffs.
Example, Garrett sits Dak against a bad Cardinals team expecting an easy win. Cooper Rush poops the bed and we lose. Cowboys end up losing the division or wildcard by one game.
For this and other reasons, I'm not a fan. Just expand the rosters and increase the amount of game-day active players.
If the game count add on the teams record......oh yes they would.This. No one is dropping $ to watch a Cooper Rush and Lance Lenoir. That’s called preseason
No, it would be awesome to see all these different strategies. I’m a fan of the concept.Assuming everyone plans for game 18 to be a rest game, you're looking at 22 starters taking one game off each over 17 games. So it's a little over one starter per game. Probably less than one starter per game given injuries. Hard for me to get too worked up about that.
I do see another big problem with this, though. If I'm the Cowboys and I'm in a competitive battle for the division title, and I'm about to play the Patriots, or whoever the strongest AFC team happens to be, on the road, I'd be pretty tempted just to sit all my starters and dump that game. Interconference games are the least meaningful for tiebreakers, and I figure we have a pretty low chance of winning a road AFC game against a really good team anyway. Throw that one game and play at full strength against everyone else. That behavior would be good for the Cowboys but really bad for the league.
