One thing a lot of fans watch those games is for is if they have a favorite college team and that team drafted one of the players you followed in college.

It won’t be long until preseason games are a thing of the past. The NFL can’t stand seeing empty seats and apathy toward the crappy product presented. Owners don’t like diminished returns on parking, concessions, local ad buys on TV, etc. Established players don’t want to get hurt and adversely affect their longevity, brand and future cash flow. It’s all about the $ and that’s what has taken a lot of the fun out of sports across the board. It’s still a game, but the fans are often the ones getting played.
There are two interesting new Bills players. One is RB Frank Gore Jr. His father played for several different teams including the Bills for a bit.
The other is a hometown local guy named Joe Andreessen, linebacker. Both had nice preseasons.

OK, well, not sure what "won't be long" really quantify as. Hopefully we will all be here to see how it pans out. The NFL certainly has traditions such as the pro bowl that is consistently derided. And the draught spectacle. Yet it hangs in there. We shall see.
See the love:
The Cleveland Browns have a 5-16 record against the Lions all-time.
WELL: Dallas fans surrounded me for many years. I am easily influenced...Go Lions lol

Me too.I can not tell your blessings from your jinx.
OK, (under pressure) Chiefs & Bills I never intend to jinx. Detroit is a good laugh (jinx) to lead the NFC. Peace on earth, rip up the field...AFC rules!I can not tell your blessings from your jinx.
Well. That just settles it all. I think. I'm going to bed.
The pro bowl game is gone now....started last year....it was a joke...they still have the event but it is a flag football game now...
By that you mean the Pro Bowl is not gone. It has turned into flag bowl. I hate that too. But it is not gone.

I was impressed by Andreessen...local kid that worked his way up from a small school to getting a tryout and it appears he made the team.
They can't get rid of it because too many players use that as an incentive part of their contract...
No.Another Anderson story?
Go Bostock's Bills
Seems like I heard talk of going to an 18 game season with only 2 preseason games. Can someone confirm that this starts next year or was it just a dream or rumour ?
All I found was this:

It is already extremely difficult making it through 17 games, but they seem to keep wanting to up the purse. Perhaps the NFL would need to increase the squad sizes from 53 to like 1227 to deal with more and more injuries, huh?
And they should make the playoffs 12 games long, round robin to start. That's an idea...make part of the season a round robin playoff tournament within each division. Oh wait, they already do that...twice. LOL
Yes!
Gang Green finished the preseason undefeated for the third time in the last four years! This is in addition to their four recent appearances in the AFC Championship Game as well as the Super Bowl. The appearances at these championship games were in sky boxes and stands by the likes of Aaron Rodgers, C.J. Moseley, Joe Namath, etc. The Jets have been truly blessed these last four years.
