Byes & Bullets

***As we discussed and appeared to be a very popular idea, the PNFL will have a bye week after week 8 of the 2047 season.
Week 9 would resume October 31st
***After discussion with Charlie, the current "bullet pass" restriction of 15 yards will be expanded to 20 yards.
This will take place after the bye week on any new plays. And, you can edit older plays as well.
If you have any objection to either of these, speak now or forever hold your peace.

I fully support both.
Expanding timed bullet passes to 20 yards makes them MUCH more useful for PLR timed passes.

It is not a good idea. Timed passes are extremely to good in the game as it is. That is why every league has restrained them. There is zero. Let me repeat, zero reason to expand it. Offense already has every advantage.
We destroyed the defensive play files at the last minute of the season and in the middle make offenses even more open.
Not sure where these ideas and instant changes are coming from. Makes zero sense.

We going restrict PLR? How do you defend 3rd and short against a RL or a PLR in a commish sim game?

The bye week had a 17-1 vote 
As for the bullet, I will let Charlie talk about that.

I agree with Jerry.
Why make this change at all and especially in the middle of the season?

Because it is a small change we can easily adjust to and it is long overdue. 15 yards is NOT a PLR play when you're in a 3rd and 20 trying to get a conversion. Allowing 20 yard bullets. at least in PLR, makes sense.
This is a very modest change and we can at least do this. I urge Charlie to stick to his guns, no pun intended, on the 20 yard bullets.

Bye Week yes
but would like to see it Week 12
Play changes are for the off season.

I’m in favor of expanding to 20 yards for PLR and PRD only. Otherwise it’s a no.

If we do the bye week thing, how about we not have a week with zero games, but split the week of games up over two real life weeks? Everyone gets a week off after either week 8 or week 9…
