NFL Moves Toward 18-Game Schedule

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Fantasy Football fans may soon be able to add two weeks to their football fun each year.

That is, if the NFL owners get their way.

The owners have given a thumbs up to a proposal to move the regular season from its current 16 games to 18. But the players aren’t quite as gung ho according  this article on Yahoo Sports.

One question involves whether the league would drop to two preseason games or keep it at four. While NFL season ticket holders would no doubt be happy not to have to pay for an additional preseason game – which are charged the same full price as regular season games – it would limit the chance for unheralded players to make an impression in hopes of making the team.

It should be interesting to see what becomes of this. With the NFL looking at a potential lockout or strike when the current union contract ends in 2011, this could turn out to be a contentious issue.

There are reasonable arguments on both sides.

What do you think?

Colts’ Decision Frustrates Fans, Fantasy Players

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

The 1972 Miami Dolphins can celebrate once again. There will be no undefeated team in the NFL this year. The final nail in the coffin was delivered in week 16 of the NFL season when the New York Jets upended the 14-0 Indianapolis Colts, 29-15.  But did they beat the “real” Colts?

By many accounts, no. Certainly not according to the fans of the homestanding Colts, who booed as first year head coach Jim Caldwell replaced Peyton Manning and other key players in the third quarter shortly after Indianapolis had retaken the lead at 18-15.

Disastrous results followed as Manning’s backup, the untested Curtis Painter, wilted under the NFL spotlight with a fumble that was returned for a TD that put the Jets on top for good. The Colts’ quest for perfection as well as the team’s record-setting 23 game winning streak were no more.

The win also was huge for the Jets as it put them in control of their own destiny heading into the final week of the season. A win in that final game means they are in the playoffs – no ifs, ands, or buts.

Undoubtedly there are a few teams not so pleased by that, but that’s life in the NFL. Even a shot at perfection won’t stop teams that have clinched from resting stars for the playoffs.

As Dan Patrick lamented in the Sunday night pre-game show, that’s what opponents to the 18-game schedule use as an argument for their case. I’d bet there are a few fantasy owners out there in total agreement. More meaningless games during the playoffs for fantasy leagues?  No thanks!
