I mean, I can kinda understand it, they added an extra game to the season (correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't I hear that they're adding 2 extra Wild Card teams next season? Or did I imagine that?) So yeah, we're getting more meaningful games now. Which in turn, probably dumbs down Pre Season and Pro Bowls.

Plus it looks like the players are actually having fun while still trying to remain competitive.

I can remember being at the Air It Out tournament back in late 90’s and they would play the entire Pro Bowl game on the radio for everyone to hear. That was when the Pro Bowl mattered to players and they played as it was a regular season game. Hearing our players names like Boselli, Brunell, McCardell, and Smith was encouraging.
