Did the NFL forget to consider that those poor souls over at EA are gonna have to do more than just the roster update file for this year's Madden now?

Pretty inconsiderate of them tbh

So are they going to have to re-sod all stadiums to make one half of the field narrower than the other side? Seems like a lot of work for such a small part of the game

 

[John Price]

I didn't realize in the tweet that it was two separate pics of the same section of the field, It looks like it was one field that narrowed on one side

What a joke.

What a joke.

Eh, I like it, less having to pay attention to family members is a positive

How is the NFL going to schedule the prior or following game for the participants? TNF is a stretch for those who play Sunday. Would need the participants in that Xmas day game to play the prior Sat. So, need like SEA/SF and AZ/LAR to play on Sat, then assign SF/LAR to play on Xmas.

The teams will have had to have had played the previous Thursday or Saturday. That’s it.

It's the only way to do it. Basically having the same teams in stand alone games for both days.

There will likely be 2 games the previous Saturday, so it'll be 6 teams to choose from, and most likely it will be a divisional matchup, or at least one where the road team has a short flight. Probably have some combination of AFC North/East or NFC North

 

[Terry Yake]

why not just get rid of the kickoff altogether?

just have teams start at the 25 yard line. and it's not like onside kicks matter anyways since they already ruined that years ago

the snip from Red Devil quote Breer, seems to indicate it's just going to be the Saturday teams.

Because for TNF, both teams are getting the same short week to ensure some level of fairness. At most the NFL allows 1 day rest difference between the 2 teams.

That's a big part of what they're hoping this fixes. Kickoffs have been irrelevant for a while, but hopefully, these rules will lead to us seeing more kick returns. We'll see. I hope we get more entertainment out of kickoffs.

I feel like GKJ has been saying this for like a month, give the credit where the credit is due

The league has also voted to move the trade deadline back a week. Some teams wanted two weeks, but the vote settled on after week 9.
