Longest... Preseason... Ever
This feels like the longest preseason to me. I'm sure it's partly because we started training camp before anyone else in the NFL this year, and partly because we started the preseason before anyone else with the HOF game.
But at the same time I think my appetite for football gets bigger every year. I just thank goodness we play the first game of the regular season! Does this preseason seem like it's taking forever to you guys?

Re: Longest... Preseason... Ever
this day feels like it's taking forever, so yes, the preseason seems like it's been going on WAY too long.
Of course the irony is that come February (after we win the Super Bowl) we'll all be complaining that the season went by too quickly.

Re: Longest... Preseason... Ever
Definitely agree Schneed. And then on the one hand it's great we get to start our regular season four days before everyone else (but the Giants)...but then we have to wait a week and a half for game 2...sigh

Re: Longest... Preseason... Ever
The NFL should play a 162 game schedule like MLB! Lazy bastards, WTF!

About it being too long. I guess I haven't really noticed. I always knew the season wouldn't start til Sept. 4th, so that's my focus. Then again, I am probably the only one that dislikes preseason here.

Re: Longest... Preseason... Ever
The season is just 2 weeks away from today, that's coming quick! Honestly I'm not sure that I'm ready for the weekly stress and all the ups and downs.

Re: Longest... Preseason... Ever
From the recent talk I've heard on NFL radio an 18 game regular season with a 2 game preseason is definitely in the works and seems inevitable.

The whole idea that you can replace 2 preseason games w/2 regular season games is ridiculous. It's not like the starters play much in all of 4 preseason games, and if coaches are worried about injuries play the scurbs, that's what preseason is for. If this is implemented, it'll only take a season or 2 for coaches to say that they don't have enough game film to evaluate their young & bubble players. I know this is an answer to revenue sharing and not injury concerns, but it's a bad solution. I can't imagine the players would really want to play 2 regular season games just to give up 2 preseason games. 18 games is far too much IMO, it's going to make the super bowl more of a test of endurance & health. |

Re: Longest... Preseason... Ever
2 more games a year would be awesome! It would give fans more for their money and it would make the football season that much longer!! I'm all for it and I don't see who isnt. The players get paid enough money they shouldn't have ANY say. .. They should only do 2-3 preseason games and 2 extra regular season games. that wouldnt be any harder on the player than what they do now.

Re: Longest... Preseason... Ever
Waiting for Sep 4th is taking forever. I know I am usually impatient but this year seems unbearable. I really want to see the battle between us and the Giants. My expectations are way high for what that game will be on both sides of the ball.
