Tangent but does the odd number of games drive anybody else crazy?Like 16 was just a perfect number.
Ehh tbh I kinda like that part cause now unless u have a tie you either having a winning or losing record, no even steven shyt
Kinda like a Sumo tournament
This tired old argument.
Goodness.
The record is the record. Leagues change the number of games, the number of teams, all sorts of things.
If Puka sets the record, that's the record.
There are no asterisks.

It'll go to 18 soon enough.Tangent but does the odd number of games drive anybody else crazy?
The long term game plan is 18 game season, two bye weeks for every team. 8th playoff team, eliminate byes for top seeds, Super Bowl is President's Day weekend.
It’s only up to 16 games in my mind. Anything else doesn’t register
The Rams needed someone to step up in the absence of Kupp. They gave Nacua a chance and it paid off, he emerged as one of the top receivers in the league this year (and a waiver wire pickup on my fantasy team VERY early
).Also, when Matt Stafford has his
moment with Nacua, it as a foregone conclusion that he would use him the most. He did the same thing with Kupp and Calvin JohnsonNacua is a talented receiver tho, he's a bruiser, quick, and has great hands
. He could succeed on another teamNever thought about it like that. I was like "damn you cant even go .500"
. I appreciate your perspective breh.Yeah...they been talkin about 18 games forever so I know its just a matter of time. They better tread lightly though. 3 years into 17 games and half the league cant make it through the season.
They're probably gonna add 2 if not 4 franchises as well. Does this happen in 5 years? Probably not, but 10-15 years down the road don't be surprised if we're at 18 game season with 36 teams(at least two of these will be international teams).

Yeah the record is the record. People are gonna try to downplay new records for awhile like I'm sure they did the last time games were added but 20 years from now it won't matter.

Records are all relative to the era. It is just that football has changed the most over the years. What Nacua is doing is still quite impressive.

I like this plan, especially the 2 Bye Week idea.
The only problem is the broadcast partners had an issue with it, they did a two bye week season in 1993 and everyone complained about not having enough good games to go around. This was only when CBS and NBC had broadcast rights, now you have NBC, CBS, FOX, Amazon, NFL Network, ESPN... lot of mouths to feed.
I'm sure they will figure it out though. The allure of having Super Bowl Sunday functionally being a national holiday is very strong.

Some of these records are just anomalies even for their time.
Norm Van Brocklin throwing for 554 in a game in 1951 really is just crazy considering what we know about how passing and the quality of athletes back then.
Puka is effectively 1-2 catches from that record with far greater defenders and concepts, but
