The owners have proposed expanding the regular season by two games, to 18 and shortening the pre-season from four to two.


I don't like this at all. The NFL already has a shortage of talent and we want to expand the season two more games? We'll have to expand the rosters too.

I'd like to see two more games count, however, then you can throw out a lot of the stats from the last 20 or years of the 16 game season. Suddenly rushing for 2k is the 90's version of 1k. Passing for 5k is diluted as well.

What do you think about going to 18 games?

No. I don't get the reasoning. College players play 12 (not including any bowl or conference championship games), the jump from 12-14 to 18 is a big one.. They already have a rookie wall as it is.

More games = more income for owners, you guys actually think any of them care if the players will be tired or not`.

Still, a preseason game isn't a regular season game. You play half of it at most.

18 regular season games, the team with the least injuries will have a huge leg up on everyone else. In a 16 game season, the injury count is already unreal.

Heck, look at how many key players we had injured for us last year. Imagine 18 games.

I don't like it.

As a fan, I'd like 2 more regular season games.

I used to like preseason games a lot more before the damn announcers ruined them for me. I liked the opportunity to see the second- and third-stringers. To get enthusiastic about the no-names. To debate who had what skills and who was just a guy about to be cut. I've never been able to attend training camp, and so that was really cool.

Preseason was also a fun time to watch games between other teams, and think about who might be cut (and then picked up by the packers).

But of course the networks and their "storylines" babble about this or that star, their damned booth conversations, their missing of several plays in a row and virtually ignoring the action for quarters at a time, ruined the preseason games for me.

So, I'd rather see two more regular season games than two preseason games.

But if they go that direction, they'll have to change the roster rules. Get rid of the inactive list, for a start. Change the PUP/IR rules. Increase the roster size.

On the other hand, if I were a player, I'd hate the idea. Two more games means two more weeks of pounding on the body.

And if I were a player, and the owners went ahead with it, I'd be more interested than ever in getting a pit bull/asshole agent, holding out for higher salaries, and all the rest. Because two more games of wear and tear on the body means an even shorter career and/or even more accumulating medical problems for life-after-football.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Expanding to 18 games, means by year five, you'd have 90 games under your belt, where as with 16 games, you'll have 80. That's a lot more wear and tear.

The new dead 'age' for running backs will be 28/29.

True about RBs.

One more thing in favor of 16 game seasons - money for people who aren't rich (or would rather not spend that much money on games). Preseason games are cheaper. I've only seen one regular season game but seen a bunch of preseason games.

I'm greedy I want 18.

16 games is way too short for me.

More football fix is what I need.
