  • NFL Preseason ?

    Is there anyone else that thinks the NFL preseason is going to change or go away in the next few years ?
    A couple of years ago the players union suggested cutting down from 4 games to only 2.
    The NFL countered by saying they would consider it, as long as another regular season game was added.
    Of course the players union wanted the players to be compensated for the extra game. That's where the talks ended.

    Fast forward to 2019 and you see a lot of teams holding out starters for most of the games. While I think the coach / teams are behind this decision. I don't think the players are objecting to it. There is such a lack of interest in the current games tickets are available on the secondary market for $6.00.

    There has to be a point where fans are going to complain about paying full price for these games.

    Pre season games are a joke. Players on the field, for the most part never make the NFL. As a coach or owner, why would you risk your season by exposing your starters to injury? Even at $6 the price is too high, there's more action in a practice than in these "games". X games should go away, along with color rush uniforms, and Michael Irving.

      LOL at Irving.

      Matt Millen said during the Raiders game what you said. The players get more out of a practice then they do in these games.
      He even suggested these games will be gone in a few years. The teams will just hold joint practices and scrimmage against each other.
