In the Packers case it's an additional away game. I'm assuming it will rotate so in 2022 the Packers will have a 9th home game.

Correct, and I believe it's been discussed that sometime between 2024-2030 that "additional" home game for GB will be overseas. This is the NFL's way to get some games played in Europe without forcing teams to "lose" a home game.

Typically all but maybe one or two players on the 46 man gameday roster play. That includes the scrubs. Backup up QB is usually it. And that's because they aren't on ST. Unless your last name is Hill and you play for NO.

I'm sure they will expand rosters..at least I would hope they do.

I honestly feel like the roster thing is stupid, all 55 should be able to suit up every game. Only the Practice Squad should be barred from playing on game days.

Another thing I'd like to point out, no more .500 seasons(for the most part, I wish they'd eliminate ties altogether). You either have a winning season(9-8 or better), or a losing season(8-9 or worse).

That extra game I'm also intrigued to see what that does to stats. I can probably say with confidence 4,000 yds passing will be the standard rate for a quality QB.


EDIT - More on ties here:

That seems pretty stupid to me. wouldn't the team who won the toss choose the opponents 1 yard line every time. Obviously the team that lost the toss would choose to play offense but they would need a heck of a drive just to get into FG range and a d cent drive just to keep the opponent from having great field position. Seems to me this would give the winner of the toss an even bigger advantage unless I misunderstood the way it works.

As far as ties go I wish they would do away with OT all together in the regular season. Play for 60 minutes and if no one is ahead its a tie. You would see more exciting play at the end. If team A ties it with 30 seconds left team B is certainly going to try to score if they know that if they don't its a tie rather than maybe getting a chance in OT.

Why would the team that lost the toss choose offense? If the choosing team places the ball at the 1 yard line the other team SHOULD choose defense, hold them, and easily win the game after getting the ball back.

I would think most coaches would place the ball between the 15-25 yd. line giving themselves approximately equal chance of winning regardless if they're on O or D.

I was going to say the 45-50 yard line, I'm 2 first downs short of FG range if I'm on offense, or if I'm on defense I just force a punt or long FG and I give my offense either great field position or a chance to put together a drive.

A different name that gives a better vision is "cut the cake." How do you get a child to cut a piece of cake fairly so their sibling gets a "fair" share? Let the child not cutting it get first choice of course. They've done studies it seems and the 20-25 is about as fair as it gets IIRC.

It's an attempt at making the game more-fair.

Some of your players are going to be hurt some weeks with minor dings and pulls. By keeping the game-day actives smaller than your total roster, you can sit a couple of people and not be at a disadvantage vs. a team with everyone healthy.

There is also the concern that with 55 game day rosters, we'd end up with even more hyper-specialisation than we already do. 55 on game day isn't enough yet, but could you imagine having three long snappers? A left-hash, right-hash, and center of the field long snappers? This is an admittedly comical example, but this is the kind of situation the NFL is trying to prevent.

Not a fan of the 17th game. More injuries. Reduced quality of play in the over expanded playoffs. Bad idea IMO.

Team A wins the toss and places the ball at Team Bs 1 yard line. Team B isn't going to go on defense giving Team A the ball with 1 yard to go for a TD. Maybe I misunderstood the rule. The way the article explained it the winner could place the ball anywhere they wanted. Unless they don't consider a team A and team B endzone and it always automatically call the farthest away. Put it at the 1 its its always 99 yards away.

The team winning the coin toss could put the ball anywhere they want on the field. Maybe it's easier to understand by solely considering the distance needed to score a touchdown for whichever team actually gets the ball first.

If team A decides to put the ball 99 yards away from the end zone it's probable team B opts to play defense first. On the other hand if they want to place the ball only 50 yards away from the end zone the other team most likely would opt to receive the ball.

That's why I found the article confusing. It didn't say anything about which side of the field. 99 yards away from one endzone is also 1 yard away from another. It depends on which way you are going.

As mentioned above, it's most likely the best way to look at it that team A decides how many yards away from the end zone the ball should be put at. The other team then opts to either play offense or defense based on it.

It makes sense when you put it like that. I just didn't get that from the article. Thanks for clearing it up for me
