I am abundantly aware of that, but what purpose does it serve to kick teams when they’re down? Granted, when they do start winning, I’m going to thoroughly enjoy putting teams through what we went through, and more.

Yeah, I saw that. Makes me love Brady even more. I'm now willing to go above and beyond even the wrap-around.

Why not 64 teams? It could make more money or something, go for it!
Will be right back on how it will change the life of the smaller market towns and tell a great story or two to prove as much. Might even make you teary-eyed, hold on!

If you expand by 1 or 2 with a plan to expand more years away, sure. 32-40 immediately would create a bunch of awful, awful teams.

The part about this that seems the craziest is the idea of having a team based in London/Europe. Teams traveling to London to play 1 game a year isn't that big a deal, IMO, so having 8 or 9 teams make that trip for 1 game can be done. But any team based in London/Europe would have to travel to the US/West for 8/9 games and then return home for the home games. That seems like a lot to ask of the players on that team. I suppose they could set their schedule so that they always have 2 or 3 games in a row at home/on the road to minimize some of that travel but seems like a huge disadvantage. 2 or 3 home games in a row = great. But 2 or 3 on the road and basically living in a hotel for the whole time and having to find practice facilities? Logistically I'm sure it could be worked out but I've always thought the talk of a London based team (i.e. Jacksonville) has always seemed like an improbable dream of the NFL.

I like Chad better. From the start I wanted to give Goff a fair shot. I know Lions WRs are not good but Goff is way worse than I expected. Plus he is a mobile as the Statue of Liberty. Give me a guy like Trubisky who is wild but at least can get away from the rush now and then.

I was really shocked at how bad he is also. The first real bad game I remember of his was a night game in Chicago. The league figured him out pretty fast.

32 is the perfect number. No expansion is necessary, I have no idea where any team would possibly work given that many obvious US markets have had a team already and it's left, and that most non-US markets (maybe outside of Canada, idk) have limited interest in a permanent franchise there
