NFL should play a 3rd and 4th place games so we get football on Saturday

[edjr 5,547]

or 1 game saturday and 1 sunday. This no saturday game stuff is for the birds.

Nah

[Vikings4ever 496]

With a week off for both teams between the conference championships and the Super Bowl, I think the competitive imbalance between the team playing Saturday and the team playing Sunday would be minimal. Put one game on Saturday night, the other on Sunday night.

I'm for that but the NFL is set in there ways on it.

With nothing on the line, it would devolve into a preseason game.

Ray Bourque parade is all the time most pathetic thing to ever happen in sports. So Boston

Looking forward to the Tom Brady parade should the bucs win

They used to do one sat, one Sunday for a short while. Early 90’s?

1986? I seem to remember waiting to see who the giants played in the SB

Nope. In fact, the Giants played in the later game on Sunday, in both '86 and '90, according to profootballreference.com.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

An actual game is probably out of the question. 

A draft lottery where the teams with the top 5 selections randomly draw their draft order in round 1?  Sure.
New uniform reveals?  Sure.
New rule changes reveal? Sure.

I’m seeing different dates for the championship games in 86.

Not a bad idea, but I think the Packers game could be played the week between tomorrow and the Super Bowl.  That way, we don't have to wait 2 weeks for another game.

[The Elevator Killer 497]

With what kind of line up? Are you really going to put Aaron Rogers out on the field for a We're number 3 game?

[The Elevator Killer 497]

If you lose the championship game, players don't want to play for 3rd place. It's been a long season and it's over. 

[edjr 5,547]

NFL really should play a 3rd place game this year. Aaron Rodgers needs a chance to finally win something when it matters
