The NFL’s push toward an 18-game season might be inevitable… but the latest proposal? It might be the most ridiculous idea yet.
Jen, Gabe & Chewy react to a reported compromise where players would be limited to 17 games individually — meaning stars could randomly sit out games despite a full 18-game schedule.
And the fallout would be chaos:
Fantasy football nightmares (your RB1 suddenly inactive)
Gambling implications and integrity concerns
Offensive line rotations putting $50M QBs at risk
Coaches forced into lineup “management mode” instead of game strategy
The crew breaks down why this idea:
Hurts the on-field product
Undermines what makes the NFL great
And proves once again… it’s always about the money
If you thought load management was bad in the NBA — wait until you hear what the NFL might be cooking up.
