I'm greedy I want 18.

16 games is way too short for me.

More football fix is what I need.

Honestly an 18 game season is smart for everyone in the beginning - but it will come to bite the NFL in the butt later. As we have now seen these past NFL players are comming out and blasting the NFL for their lack of consideration of the player. Adding two more games will not only increase the injury chances but will add to a growing cause.

But besides this every other reason is good. The regular season games will go down in price and more people will be able to get in. My question is who will the teams play for these two games? Can it be maybe we add two more out-of-conference games? Honestly I'd love to see that. This could change the whole scheduling in the NFL, actually...

tbh, i'd rather see 2 more real games and 2 less fake games. a guy gets hurt in preseason and it's just such a waste.

what i'd really rather see though, is just shortening preseason by 2 games and leaving the rest as is.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Personally.. I know this sounds anti logical for a football nut like myself.. but I don't think I would like an additional two regular season games.

Why?

I think it will water down the importance of a single game.. more games equal less importance on any single game.

My opinion.. stay at 16 weeks.. cut the preseason down to 2 or 3 at the most and launch a developmental league for rookies and guys with say less than 3 years experience.

That would raise the talent level, allow football to be more of an annual sport and still accomplish raking in the coin for the owners. A 6 to 8 week summer league in the same venues with assistants coaching the teams

I agree with Shawn. Maybe have the other league start after the Super Bowl for a 'summer' league type of deal.

Cut preseason by a game or two.
Stay at 16 regular season games.
Start a "minor" league.

Speaking of the length of season.... in the interest of completeness...

any votes for the old 14-game season? Or (and this is before my time), the 12-game season?

Or what about the variable-length season, Wade? Look at some of the Packers' old season records some time. It's very interesting.

I have mixed emotions about this. On one hand I like the idea of 2 more games that mean something. Players don't need the time to get into shape like years ago when many had to take off season jobs to make ends meet. Traing camp was to get them into enough shape to play and then they still "played their way into shape." Rookies are much better prepared because of better strength and conditioning in college.

On the other hand, the extra games water down the meaning of each game. I enjoy watching players trying to make the team.

I like it the way it is. However, I fear we'll have an 18 game schedule for one reason...greed.

Could that proposal be some kind of 'bargaining chip' within the CBA-drama?

"If you forego blabla we cancel the idea of 18 games...." or something like that.

Just a thought.

Have a nice day,

It was a tight game, and it swayed back and forth. And sure enough, he pulled out a victory at the end...
