*They just announced the September 11 ESPN Monday night doubleheader a few hours ago, so I doubt the network has immediately decided which game will Tirico, Theismann, and Kornheiser do, and who would work the other game. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that there are only 7 bye weeks in 2006 (weeks 3-9).  Previous seasons had bye weeks in week numbers 3-10.  Does anyone know the the last time the number of bye weeks changed, and what that schedule was? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Esfaessler (talk • contribs) .
*Well, I know that the bye week schedule was different during the 1999-2001 seasons because the league had only 31 teams. With an odd number of clubs in the league, at least one team had a bye every week. during the 2001 season, three clubs had byes during weeks 3-4 and 6-9. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 13:46, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

message: As a FR and EN contributor, my impression when I see standings of the regular seasin is that we miss a lot of information, they could be added in another article dedicated to the Regular season 2006, as in this example. Any opinion ?  Dingy 02:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Even though it's not a milestone, should Matt Bryant's 62-yard field goal that helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Philadelphia Eagles 23-21 be included in the season article?  I think a 60+ yard field goal is notable enough for annual mention. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 20:19, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There should probably be a notable-but-not-record-breaking events section in the article for things like this, and Rex Grossman's victory with a 10.2 QB Rating.  If we put our heads together, can we come up with enough to justify a section? Adam613 21:04, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Field Goal, Week 7 

message: This section is compleatly one persons opinion, it has no merit and should be eliminated. 
In the scheduling flaws, there is a line about the Indy/Philly game being a one-sided blowout.  While this may be true (I certainly agree), it isn't very NPOV.  But I'm not sure how to improve it.  Can we think of a better way to say it?  Does it need to be said at all?  The flaw in flex scheduling is exposed by the matchup, regardless of the result; if the Eagles had pulled off a stunning upset, that wouldn't have made the game any more worthy of Sunday Night Football than, say, Chicago-New England.Adam613 06:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Scheduling Flaws

message: I just got a warning that the page has grown to 33k.  This is most likely a result of how big the standings section got (which is partly my fault).  Is it worth doing anything about now, or should we wait to see what happens in two weeks when there is no "So-and-so could clinch a playoff berth if these 4 other teams lose next week" section?

replies: text: It should tone down a bit once the playoff scenarios are gone. Jonpin 00:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Page too long

message: I oppose the deletion of the playoff scenario section.  I like it, it is useful, and it is NPOV factual.  Yeah, it may be changing week-to-week, but many current events have entries.  I don't see a strong justification for deletion (other than mooting by the resolution of playoff teams).  Aardhart 18:54, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: 62-yard field goal

message: Shouldn't this section go on the 2007 NFL season article? It is technically the offseason for those teams. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree.  These coaching changes reflect on the 2007 season far far more than the 2006 season. KyuuA4 23:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

message: OK, I know it's short, but here's an alternative Hunt section.  It'll somewhat shorten things and it's not an obituary.
On December 13, 2006, Lamar Hunt, founder of the Kansas City Chiefs and the driving force behind the AFL, died at the age of 74 from prostate cancer.
(Yeah, I know I really chopped it, but that's why I put it up for discussion.) Tell me what you think! Fleetflame (talk) 02:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually this whole article needs to be rewritten. See WP:RECENT. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:58, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you referring to the whole article as recentism, or my section?  What about summarizing or at least changing tables into lists....this is under style, jsyk. Fleetflame (talk) 02:27, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of it. Look at this compared to 2005 NFL season and 2004 NFL season. I do not think we need extensive coverage on the television contracts when most of this is on NFL on television, or extensive coverage of records in the milestones section that are not found in either the NFL Record and Fact book or http://www.nfl.com/history/randf. Or subsections in the news and notes section that only consist of 2-3 sentences. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:39, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
