fringe Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Still doesn't solve, The nobody wants to play problem They should make it all fantasy. Throw all the stats into a computer and let the game unfold virtually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 They should make it all fantasy. Throw all the stats into a computer and let the game unfold virtually. They should have the worst two teams, play for the 1st pick in the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYG Hampton 27 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 They should have the worst two teams, play for the 1st pick in the draft that would be awesome hahah. Was it the Texans who totally shanked a FG a few years back to lose a game at the end of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorillaNJ Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 They should have the worst two teams, play for the 1st pick in the draft That is an amazing idea! But I could see a qb tank a game to not be replaced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFire Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 They should have the worst two teams, play for the 1st pick in the draft Race to the bottom game. One interesting thought I read online was moving it before the season when people want to watch football again. The only issue I could see with that would be rustiness or worry of injury before the season started. I think the Monday night before the season started would be a good placement.

JMFP Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Maybe they should do an all-rookie game, and the winning team gets $1 million per player. Loser gets steaknives. I'd watch then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Giant Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Why would Rice and Sanders select the team? Would make more sense if the coaches selected the team. How about you let players volunteer, with the stipulation that they play like it's a playoff game? Maybe the league pays for an insurance policy or the league picks up the remainder of the players contract should he get injured. Then you choose the best two teams out of the pool of volunteers. I'd personally like to see something like this. The coach of the team with the best record in each division builds a team from the pool of players on only his division. Then hold a playoffs of those teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman329 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The NFL guys want to GO to the Pro Bowl, they just don't want to PLAY. The sport, like hockey, is simply not conducive to an all star format. The risk of career ending or even career hampering injury is just too great on the risk/reward scale. Ironically, they are stealing the hockey all star game idea with these teams being picked this way. In hockey, the playground style picking of teams was fun to watch. Unfortunately, the game was the same old no D, no hitting, skate & shoot deal. I see the same thing happening with the NFL - picking the teams will be better television than the game.

NightFire Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The NFL needs to stop with the bullshit. The all star game should have just been kept as a loss leader as it was before. A paid trip and bonus for players that put their bodies on the line so the NFL and owners can make billions. It's like your company Christmas party. The company doesn't directly reap any rewards but it helps with moral and turnover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Keep the old format however, make them play for their game check. Winner keeps the game check. Loser has it donated to *inset some charity* on their behalf. Instant competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYG Hampton 27 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The fantasy draft is a bad move. Pro Bowl nods is a HoF consideration, giving two people that much power is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
