At some point you have to produce more for more pay, period.  You are such a condescending cuss, but undoubtedly you take pride in it, el-oh-el. No wonder with that avatar.

Ah... The "my logic has failed so now I'll resort to insults based on failed logic" approach. LOL indeed.

The revenue IS the production per the CBA. The production has increased. This concept is proving exceedingly difficult for someone who supposedly didn't need a lecture on the CBA.

Starters only play a half or three quarters  of a preseason game. I doubt that will change.

The 4th preseason game key starters don't even see the field.  I mean the see it, but only from the sidelines.  Agreed that the other three preseason games will be approached the same as they traditional have been with the 3rd one being the "dress rehearsal".  That 4th game was such a snoozer anyhow.  I would always sell those tickets if it was at home.

You took this long to come up with that gem.  El-oh-el!

You are arguing against yourself here.  At some point the League was going to extend the season to get more out of the players with fatter contracts.  It's pointless for the players to whine about it.  Give it a few years and 18 games will be on the way.

This is going to lead to increased revenue which will in turn lead to increased cap and... you guessed to! Bigger contracts. This is intro to Econ 101 stuff.

Yes, I aced both of my Econ classes, so I know.  What you can't see forest for the trees.  Bosses typically expect more production for more pay.  You know, basic Econ stuff.  Yes, 17 games is going to led to bigger contracts, but guess what, they have to play that extra game to get it.  Crazy, right?

Evidently you do. That same workload has been driving revenue growth. 

It's really odd how many fans side with the billionaires. How have you been convinced that you're in the good old boys club? LOL!

That's in life, not just football. Just sayin'.

Kamara isn't alone. Most players hate the idea.

Hell, I hate the idea too.

They shortened the preseason. You don't think that's a good trade-off. They were probably useless anyway, granted we'll never know how much. I guess some fringe players might be affected, but how many times do they end up playing, much less effecting the game, anyway?

I don't have it in my heart to really care what the players think.  Find a different occupation if you don't like the NFL.

However, as a fan, I'm concerned.  We already see instances nearly every year where end of season games don't mean anything and starters are rested.  With more games, I can see even more instances of "Oh, this game doesn't matter, send in the scrubs"

That's where things get into weird territory.  Teams heading for a high pick run up against teams coasting to the finish line and it screws with the draft.    Permutations like that definitely concern me.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
