PantherDave Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Huddlers, the NFL owners are rich-yes, but not rich enough to feild an uncapped NFL. This is very serious business and could literally destroy the integrity and depth of the entire leauge. This could in reality, kill the NFL as we know it-period.

whitem0nkey Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) The one bad thing about the cap is it dilutes talent, so that its a bunch of avg teams. but as a bear fan at the beginning i had little hope but it turned to a great season. but over all I believe that the cap helps the NFL be the #1 sport.

Beaumont Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I am just praying that the Chiefs can get under the cap without cutting Tony Gonzalez or some crap like that ... Seriously, its going to be amazing ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three maybe four contenders each year and the rest nowhere. The same contenders each year, too. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I think there will be some pretty good football players that sit the entire season out. Including some of the rookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 at least, even with no new deal, there's no work stoppage in sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PantherDave Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Now, we all know how it feels to not have our voice not heard-to bad we can't send a BIG message as the NFL Fan Nation and stop buying tickets, but that will happen anyway, because an uncapped NFL means tickets we can no longer afford-this is very bad..this is bottom line apocolyptic.

I don't want to come across all Doom and Gloom, but I'll feel alot better when we "Know" what the future holds.

Some take NFL Sundays for granite, and this could have a major effect on that privledge, and as a fan, it concerns me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glover might be going regardless. 1347967[/snapback] Agreed, it will not effect some teams as much as others, but it's not just this year, it's the years to follow,as this may be the tip of the ice berg. The bottomline is this, the NFL needs a cap, and a CBA, plus all the loopholes that seperate the two, and as of right now-that is in jeproday.

Skippy Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I for one am of the thought that they, (NFL owners), will work things out. They know what they have and they don't want it to go away anymore than us rabid fans of their product. Having said that, it is indeed a very critical time for the NFL. They can wipe out everything that got them here to this point very easily if they get something worked out that is in the best interest of the GAME.
