18 games?

[MaroonBells]

They have other things to get sorted out before spending a lot of time debating an 18 game schedule.  They need to make changes to plays that are reviewable, maybe add an on field official that is focused solely on the quarterback so the excuse of well we couldn't see the quarterback because we weren't looking at him or couldn't see see him.  Consider increasing the roster size if they add games to the regular season.  If they continue adding games across the globe make game times reasonable for the US audience so we don't have kickoffs at 8am on a Sunday for our favorite team.

Yes, the officiating is horrible once again. In the PFF thread someone mentioned doing a PFF for the refs. I think they probably already have their own QC program, but make it public. There doesn't seem to be much accountability or transparency there. And I'm pretty sure these are still part time refs. At least make them full time. Does the NFL not have enough money to pay full time staff?

1 more change id like to see,  get rid of the week off between the championship games and the superbowl,  and either move it to saturday night,  or make the start time like 3 central sunday,

There has to be accountability for biased judgements. If you rule incorrectly then you get fined. If you blow a short whistle while a fumble is happening then you get fined. They must know that incorrect calls will cost them.
If a play goes to review and then you rule incorrectly then you get fined and suspended.
Make the playoffs pay much higher but only those officials that grade high enough get assigned to them.

And eventually every team will play an overseas game in the season, too. Add in an extra bye week for recovery...

.500 QB’s are probably reinvigorated…!

Too long go back to 14 games

If they are going to keep adding games and extending the season to later in the year then they need to start making it a requirement that east coast teams like Buffalo who are building new stadiums put a roof on it and that playoff games in certain weather conditions be moved. This game today with Rams and Eagles is not the way playoff games should be decided.
