Default NFL teams blitzing in preseason?

This seems like a relatively new development. Since offensive teams don't scheme for particular defenses, this seems like it would give the defense the upper hand and really endanger the QB. This leads to teams not playing their #1s much at all, which in turn even further dilutes the product. Not terribly fair to the season ticket holders, who get raped for full price for 2 exhibition games per year (adding ~50% to the price).

Thoughts?

season ticket holders having to pay for 2 meaningless games is a raw deal.

I don't think it has anything to do w/ schemes, though, the teams need to practice.

You are under a very false impression.

I have season tickets to the Redskins and I have to buy preseason tickets at the same price as regular season games.


Going to preseason games SUCKS.

Wrong. Nobody is forced to pay for anything. The team offers a package of something like "8 home games, plus two exhibition games, plus priority for playoffs for $xxxxxx/seat". If you want to pay it, you do. If you don't want to, you don't.

Plenty of people want to pay it. It's not like a season ticket holder later gets told "oh, by the way, you owe us an additional $200 for the preseason games".

If somebody agrees to pay for something, it's not a raw deal.

And what if I want the package with the just the regular season games? Where do I get that?

No [censored]. People like to go see the real games. In many cases, the only way to do that is to also pay for the crappy games.

what if you only want games in your division? what if you want to forgo the games against the bad teams in the league?
