No worries, NFL will fix it. The ways things are going soon we'll have 24 teams in the playoffs and two Super Bowls every year. Think about it - some of the stats like "most yards in regular season" or "most TDs in postseason" are already getting inflated due to having more games.
In fact while I was writing I thought about that possibility, what if the NFL decided to create a summer league? It will be ridiculous but at this rate it may come to happen.
"Root" is too strong to describe my relationship with the Lions...
I am sorry about the whole deal with Matt Patricia, but it seems that with the exception of Flores in Miami everyone wants to impose the ‘Patriot way’ instead of just creating their coaching style and it explodes in their face, BTW if there are some Texans fans here I am sorry about that too, Bill O’Brien legacy seems to still be in effect even if he is not there anymore, while I usually do not believe the rumours the media spreads it seems the Texans have screwed up their relationship with Watson to the point he wants out, and even if that proves to be false the fact they have no first and second round pick in this draft, no cap space and shipping out Hopkins for a bag of Doritos is going to hurt them long term.
I have a question for Tom Brady fans. If he moved to the Raiders instead of Tampa Bay, would the Raiders be having a better chance to be in the playoffs? Las Vegas was one of the places Brady was strongly suggested of going by sports media last year.
A better chance? Probably, but there will still not be any guarantees the Raiders made it to the playoffs, the Raiders finished 8-8 and the Dolphins failed to make it to the playoffs with a 10-6 record, there are two games Brady could have won, one is the Dolphins game the Raiders lost by one point and the Buccaneers game as they will not have Brady, that is a 10-6 record which is still not enough so "Brady's Raiders" would need to win an additional game, and there are 3 candidates that I think could have been winnable, at NE, at ATL and at home against the LA Chargers which they lost on OT by 3 points.
