Should there be a note that this looks to be an uncapped year absent a new CBA with the NFLPA? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.226.30 ( talk • contribs)
With all the sudden emphasis on safe football by the league, should there be a section highlighting it or is it placed under rule changes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.133.126 ( talk) 06:41, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Should there be a transcations page displaying trades and free aggency—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mollica93 ( talk • contribs) 19:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
In your article, you mentioned that "assuming the status quo continues", the 12:30 EST matchup on Thanksgiving would be New England vs. Detroit. Well, "assuming the status quo..." involves two facets.
1) The Detroit Lions continue to host the 12:30 ET game. However, the NFL is very likely to take that game away from Detroit. Since the 12:30 game must be hosted by a team in the Eastern Time Zone and in the US, there are two good possibilities: Philadelphia (would host either Houston or Indianapolis) or Atlanta (would host either Baltimore or Cincinnati). Of course, those matchups assume that the 12:30 game will still be an AFC-NFC game. If an AFC team hosts, New England and Pittsburgh would make excellent hosts. And instead of in Dallas, the 4:15 game could be on the West Coast (San Diego or San Francisco).
2) The normal TV rotation continues such that, in an even year, CBS gets the 12:30 game and Fox gets the 4:15 game. However, CBS had the 12:30 game in 1979 and somehow again in 1980. Likewise, NBC had the 12:30 game in 1989 and then again, somehow in 1990. Since we've moved into a new decade (2009 to 2010), it's not impossible that Fox may have a 12:30 game for the second straight year, which would force CBS to have a 4:15 game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.62.209.129 ( talk) 04:28, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Curious about a couple of things stated in the previous comments: "the current format doesn't allow the AFC North teams to play in a Thanksgiving game" and "the 12:30 game must be hosted by a team in the Eastern Time Zone." I guess I'm missing something--what's the basis for either of these statements? LarryJeff ( talk) 18:33, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
How's this for an alternative to Detroit hosting the 12:30 game. In the event that the NFL decides on an all-AFC game at 12:30 ET on Thanksgiving, Indianapolis at New England is definitely a blockbuster matchup! After all, anything is an improvement over watching Detroit get crushed every year on turkey day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.62.209.129 ( talk) 04:15, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
OK, so this section should probably be moved because obviously, with training camps around the corner and season tickets heading out to ticket holders, it's pretty much a non-issue for an LA team in 2010. This section is now irrelevant —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.27.37.76 ( talk) 19:21, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
In the section titled Regular Season Standings, is there a way to set up those tables so they would automatically sort themselves by winning percentage? That way we wouldn't have to keep rearranging the code all year to keep the teams in the right order.
Thatotherperson ( talk) 11:51, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
These tables do not render very well on mobile devices ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_NFL_season). They overlap and cannot be read. Instead of having two tables side-by-side, keep the table one column so that they can be rendered on phones and mobiles. 98.119.195.136 ( talk) 22:57, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Could we please change the standings back so that AFC and NFC are next to each other not one above the other?-- 70.246.150.185 ( talk) 01:40, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
Why is Philadelphia above New York? New York precedes Philadelphia alphabetically and has a better conference record (the teams are tied in prior tie-breakers). Granted, this will become a moot point Sunday night (unless they tie), but I'm curious; someone must have moved Philadelphia higher, as New York was the last team with a lead before tiebreakers. Tomblikebomb ( talk) 18:04, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Can we add below where the standings are what teams are eliminated during which week? I know for sure the Bills have been eliminated —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.82.147 ( talk) 01:55, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
For the third or fourth year in a row, the game summaries on the NFL team season pages are of poor quality and standards for Wikipedia. In fact, for 2010, they appear to be worse than they were in 2009 and 2008. I thought it was appropriate to bring this to attention at the main season page. The summaries do not adhere well (or at all) to the WP:Manual of Style, particularly: improper capital letters, improper abbreviations, and poor grammar. But they suffer most from poor tone, a repetitive template of informal game "jargon," a mix of verb tenses, and statements that make no sense to casual readers:
The other main criticism is that they are NOT telling the story of the game. All they basically seem to be are run-on sentences listing the scoring plays. In many cases, the actual scoring play may not be the most important aspect of the respective drive. For instance, a team may be driving for a game-tying touchdown. A defensive player makes a huge play, intercepting the ball and returning it 95 yards, and be tackled at the 1 yard line. Yet the "summary" will leave that completely out and only mention the 1 yard touchdown run that "put them up for good." Complaints were made in 2009 on the talk page for Alakazam, but it appears that Minimac is inserting them for 2010. Yet they seem to be identical in style, wording, and language. I'm not making accusations, or attempting to single out anyone, but I highly encourage the participants of WP:NFL to commit to improving the team season pages. Doctorindy ( talk) 18:10, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
For simplicity, I suggest that ties NOT be mentioned in the scenarios listed. Ties are rare, and stating them just makes the statements more difficult to understand. I don't think the reader loses much by omitting them. Juve2000 ( talk) 23:10, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
My first choice is to leave them in, but I'd be ok with taking out as long as we have an explanatory note about there being "other scenarios" possible if certain games result in a tie. LarryJeff ( talk) 14:50, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Why is week 1 at the bottom of the table instead of the top? Any particular reason? ×× Thatotherperson ( talk) 04:22, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Since, in 2010, an AFC team visited Detroit (therefore, an NFC team visited Dallas), the natural rotation suggests that, in 2011, Thanksgiving would feature NFC @ Detroit and then AFC @ Dallas. However, it is possible that the 2011 NFL season may be cancelled.
If the 2011 season is cancelled, how would the rotation of the Thanksgiving day games be affected?
Would it be: 1) In 2012, NFC @ Detroit then AFC @ Dallas - just to keep the alternating pattern intact. or 2) In 2012, AFC @ Detroit then NFC @ Dallas - because it is an even year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.62.209.129 ( talk) 02:44, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
I copied this comment from my own talk page. The user had removed the "(1)" next to the Patriots line in the AFC East table (denoting they clinched the number 1 seed. I re-added it; they removed it again and added this note on my talk page (also my response below)
I guess, even though the key won't be displayed on the individual team articles that include the standings templates, we're still better off to go ahead and include the symbols in the templates, with the key on the 2010 NFL season article. Thoughts? LarryJeff ( talk) 19:33, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't this article be titled 2010-11 NFL Season? After all the last week of the regular season is in fact being played in the year 2011. I mean sure the playoffs are always played during the next calender year. However this is the first time, I can remember an entire week of regular season games being played in the next calender year.-- Subman758 ( talk) 03:24, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
