Tuesday open thread: Would you approve of an 18-game

2 preseason game schedule?Cheap Kenny Golladay Jersey The Detroit Lions were one of the lucky ones. Despite an overall unwatchable preseason performance, the Lions escaped the exhibition season without any truly devastating injuries. Other teams weren’t as lucky.So like every single year, discussion arose about shortening—or even ending—the preseason in the future. The most common solution to this perceived problem is fairly simple: Shorten the preseason by two games and add those games to the regular season, creating an 18-game schedule. Cowboys and referee owner Jerry Jones publicly pushed for this move last week.“My solution is real simple, cut back on preseason games,” Jones said on a local radio station. “Have one at each team’s home, play a couple of them and then add two games to the regular season, which I’ve been a proponent of for several years. That’s a better equity or a better way of players using what they bring to the table, their talents, their skills, their professional time in pro sports. That’ll give them a bigger pay day that’s fair. The other thing it does is it certainly gives our fans what we all think they deserve and that is a competitive game.”The idea is admittedly intriguing, since no NFL fans enjoy the preseason, but is Jerry brushing over some unintended consequences? Today’s Question of the Day is:Would you approve of an 18-game regular season, two-game preseason?My answer: No, I don’t think I would. I understand preseason football is unwatchable Ricky Wagner Jersey , and I hate that season ticket holders have to pay for those games. That last part should absolutely be fixed. But if you’re forcing players to play two more games a season—and 12.5 percent increase in games—you better expect to bump players salary by that number.Jerry Jones argues that an 18-game schedule is safer, because his studies show that injury rate is higher in the preseason than the regular season, which I’m honestly hesitant to believe. Let’s be honest, Jones has plenty motive to straight-out lie here, because he stands to benefit from two more regular season games that will undoubtedly bring in more money for him. But even if what Jones says it’s true, the chances of starters getting injured in a season undoubtedly increase with a longer schedule, and that’s why the players would almost certainly never go for it.If you want to shorten the preseason, that’s something that I think almost everyone can get behind. But adding those two games to the regular season is just a transparent cash grab. I say nay.Detroit Lions final bubble watch: Who’s in and who’s out? Now that the preseason is over, it’s time to look at the Detroit Lions roster bubble. It seems like the bubble is bigger this year than any other year, and, unfortunately, that’s not a good thing. There haven’t been any depth players that have played consistent enough to warrant a “lock” status, and therefore there are probably 5-10 roster spot open for nearly 20 different players. So here is our staff’s thoughts on the players remaining on the roster bubble and their status going into cut weekend.Final bubble watch: OffensePlayerJeremy ReismanKent Lee PlatteJustin SimonRyan MathewsMike PaytonAlex RenoChris PerfettHamza BaccoucheMansur ShaheenJohn WhiticarKyle YostChangePlayerJeremy ReismanKent Lee PlatteJustin SimonRyan MathewsMike PaytonAlex RenoChris PerfettHamza BaccoucheMansur ShaheenJohn WhiticarKyle YostChangeBiggest winners: Kenny Wiggins (+4), Joe Dahl (+2)Biggest losers: Leo Koloamatangi (-5), Corey Robinson (-3)Unsurprisingly http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-christian-jones-jersey , there was a lot of changes along the offensive line, as the Lions shook up their lineup yet again in the preseason finale. Wesley Johnson (-1) and Leo Koloamatangi (-5) played a ton of snaps on Thursday, indicating their status may not be safe.Also, Corey Robinson’s injury has some people jumping ship, even though he was a unanimous in for nearly all of training camp. Elsewhere, a few people have Michael Roberts on the outside looking in after getting more action in the preseason finale than breakout tight end Hakeem Valles.Final bubble watch: DefensePlayerJeremy ReismanKent Lee PlatteJustin SimonRyan MathewsMike PaytonAlex RenoChris PerfettHamza BaccoucheMansur ShaheenJohn WhiticarKyle YostChangePlayerJeremy ReismanKent Lee PlatteJustin SimonRyan MathewsMike PaytonAlex RenoChris PerfettHamza BaccoucheMansur ShaheenJohn WhiticarKyle YostChangeNew to Bubble Watch: Anthony Zettel (trending down), Trevor Bates (trending up)Biggest winners: Jeremiah Valoaga (+2), Freddie Bishop (+1)Biggest losers: Jonathan Freeny (-4), Alex Barrett (-2)Surprisingly little change in the defensive layout from our staff this week. After missing last week’s preseason game, Valoaga apparently won over some of our staff with the 20 snaps he played against the Browns. Meanwhile, the fact that Jonathan Freeny nearly played for the entire game sent a clear message that he shouldn’t be as comfortable as most of us expected. Now only seven of 11 staff members have him on the inside.Despite playing for a ton of snaps in the preseason finale, the staff still believes Anthony Zettel is in... except for Justin Simon. Conversely, after sitting Thursday night, we all think Miles Killebrew has nothing to worry about and is a consensus IN.
