Talk:NFL regular season

Shared Stadiums
Under "Disruptions of the schedule" it says that 5 teams share stadium with a soccer team but only 4 are mensioned. I can't say whether the number is incorrect or a team is forgotten to be mensioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lerura (talk • contribs) 03:46, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Error in Chart Image
For what it's worth, the current example chart is slightly incorrect. The 2011 ranking of the Cowboys and Eagles in the NFC East is actually transposed; both having finished at 8-8, the Eagles held the better division record and finished 2nd, drawing the Lions and Cardinals as 2012 strength of schedule opponents. --69.117.197.194 (talk) 03:50, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Division winner question
The NFL/regular season has just ended in AFC east division with the patriots and the dolphins haveing the same record before begining the the first round of the playoff s to get to the superbowl game they both have a 11 wins 4 losses in there same division that makes a tie d for first place maybe there s /something i don't know but i think the two teams should have a game to see who becomes the first place team the announcer's sayed that miami was the winner of the division but how could that be with the patriots with the same record of a matching 11 wins 4 losses my e-mail address is manuelholguin2008@hotmail.com/////send some feedback about this —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.129.19.161 (talk) 05:19, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


 * As a Pats fan, this disappointed me as well (particularly since the 8-8 Cardinals won a much weaker division and made it all the way to a Super Bowl loss). But there's a reason for it - the Dolphins had a better record within the division, that is they beat the AFC East Pats, Jets, and Bills more times than the Pats beat the Dolphins, Bills, and Jets.  So the Dolphins could reasonably be said to have won the division even with a tied overall record.  -- Zen Swashbuckler -- (talk) 18:31, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Future season division scheduling chart
Is there any particular reason why the year 2012 is shaded gray on the chart showing which divisions play each other in the next five seasons? Is there an expansion scheduled for that year, or what is the deal? -- Zen Swashbuckler -- (talk) 18:31, 26 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Got it. Intraconference play cycles every three years.  Understood. -- Zen Swashbuckler -- (talk) 19:21, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Pending changes
I have put this article on pending changes protection. Over the past year, there is someone on a dynamic IP address who periodically adds 'cruft, various trivia, original research or un-cited content to the West Coast Modification section – and after he is reverted, he then blanks that section without any explanation (as if he is retaliating against being reverted).

Table of NFL Sundays by week number
A table of the dates of NFL Sundays by week number, from 1 to 17, was added and then removed. See the table to the right. I propose that the table should be included in the article. First, I argue that none of WP:NPOV, WP:OR, or WP:VERIFY are applicable showstoppers. Second, I argue that the table provides easy access to figuring out the current week of the season, thus allowing the reader to quickly figure out about how many games each team has played, about how many games each team has left, and generally how far along in the season we have gone. Similarly, when planning a party for some date for example, the reader can quickly determine how far along the season will be at that time. Similar information is provided for past and future years, mimicking common practice in infoboxes of Wikipedia articles about holidays and other events. In short, I support including the table on the grounds that it is similar in form to other content in Wikipedia and provides information that is useful to the reader. I ask that @User:Jedzz and any others who are interested to please give comments here. 64.132.59.226 (talk) 13:28, 7 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, y'all, does your silence mean that the proposal is non-controversial? If instead you are actually pro or con, please comment! 64.132.59.226 (talk) 12:42, 8 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I took it down because I don't see how it avoids WP:PLOT ("Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information"). While true and verifiable, the list is basically a rundown of every September-to-December Sunday between last year and 2019. The article already discusses that there are games every Sunday after Labor day through the end of December or the first week of January, so what is the table adding to the clarity of the article? I can see your points applying to a similar list in the SuperBowl, ProBowl, or Kickoff Game articles, since those are annual discrete events, but your table is far more broad and generalized than that. 2019's Week 4 Sunday being September 29 — and not September 28 or 30 — is not relevant information for this article. Also, not all games each week take place on Sunday (as discussed in the article).


 * Plus, I don't think a person who wants to know about what NFL week it currently is would have the thought to come to this article to answer the question, since it is largely an article that describes generally how NFL seasons are structured. Instead, this person would likely visit the article for the specific season, or that of a team's specific season (where all game days and times are posted along with week numbers once announced by the NFL).Jedzz (talk) 22:41, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

There will now be 17 games over 18 weeks starting in 2021-22

NFL Used To Have Friday Nights, A Short While No?
Hi hi, I am clueless in a Yahoo NFL Fantasy League for fun, so I checked this article out, to figure out Player adds, drops, trades ala Waivers and timing of this concept! When I do a browser "Find" for the word Friday there are no results! QUESTION: Didn't the NFL briefly have Friday televised game/s?? Should this be mentioned in the first few paragraphs? Thanks and here's the portion of the article in Question: "The first game of the week is played on Thursday night, kicking off at 8:20 PM (ET). The majority of games are played on Sunday, most kicking off at 1:00 PM (ET), some late afternoon games starting at 4:05 or 4:25 PM (ET). Additionally, one Sunday night game is played every week at 8:20 PM (ET). One Monday night game then starts at 8:15 PM (ET) every week with the exception of the first week of the regular season, in which two Monday night games are played back-to-back (the second game always occurring on the West coast), as well as the last week of the season, in which no Monday night game is held."
