Extra Game Means Records Will Fall. but which ones?

[JoeKing]

Yeah,passing yards seems most likely
You think Dak will break the NFL passing yard record (5477 P Manning) or the Cowboys record (4903 Romo)?
For NFL record he’d also have have to lead the league this year and break the record

I think Dak can eclipse 6K yards this season.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

i would think the rushing record will stay for a long time because the nfl is no longer a rushing league most will be broken over a short period of time but i also think that teams will have to manage players differently because of the longer season

Yes.
And RBs aren’t staying In league long enough to break Emmitts record.

I say that one doesn’t fall.
Maybe when they go up to 18 game seasons?

The NFL played 12 games in the 60s, then 14 in the 70s, then 16, and these questions arose each time.

Rule changes have had more to do with records falling, especially on offense, than the number of games.

 

[Jake]

I think Dak can eclipse 6K yards this season.

If he does that means the Cowboys are playing from behind, a lot. It's not a recipe for team success.

Whats the record for the most boneheaded calls by a head coach?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Which records are more likely to be broken with an extra game added to the regular season?

Passing yardage record?
Rushing yardage record?
Receiving yardage record?
Other?

Real easy. Passing yardage record. Kiss that one goodbye as long as Dak plays all 17 games.

That explains why Peyton Manning's 2013 Colts only went 11-5 and made it to the divisional round of the playoffs the same season he set the current passing yardage record for a single season.

Yes, for the team. Average 288/game and you break Romo's 4903. Possible for sure.

The league? He'll have competition for that one.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Which records are more likely to be broken with an extra game added to the regular season?

Passing yardage record?
Rushing yardage record?
Receiving yardage record?
Other?

I guess you can say it with any record, but I think most cumulative totals will drop in the next few years. Rushing yards in a season may be the toughest, but with a 17th game Henry would have passed this year

Extra games means more revenue and less me watching the NFL.

So, is an extra game a bad thing to you? Cowboys @ Patriots in 2021

 

[rambo2]

The extra games mean players will be injured more and play less years and die earlier.

 

[rambo2]

Instead of being 8-8 for the next four years, we'll be 8-9.

You forgot that they were 13 and 3 a few years back.

 

[rambo2]

But then theres Mahomes...

Mahomes just had surgery.

 

[rambo2]

Also, defensive backs will continue to quit tackling to avoid injury.

 

[robertfchew]

I think all those records will fall with the rushing yards record taking the longest because it's not a running league anymore.

Frank gore needs 2356 according to espn. That would be 3.6 years at last years pace. Possible but are people really going to keep signing him when you can get rb's so easily these days.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Mahomes just had surgery.

? Was that meant for a different topic?

I was more referring to the single season rushing record because the title was talking about the extra game added to the season.

 

[Creeper]

TD passes in a single season is definitely going to fall pretty quickly.
