18 Game Schedule.. Good or Bad?

I am indifferent...can we have "don't care" or "not sure" options? In all honestly 16 games season seems perfectly fine.

I like the idea, for selfish reasons of course, only if it doesn't open the door for more teams. With added roster spots on top of additional teams I don't want to see the talent pool get too shallow.

Terrible idea IMO.

1) there are already a lot of meaningless (no playoff implications) games at the end of year.
2) the "shorter preseason" argument is bogus; starters don't play that much & coaches still need games to evaluate the guys fighting for roster spots.
3) Injuries. winning in the end will be even more about who's healthy & who's roster is deep. It's a tough game but I don't want to see it become a battle of attrition.
4) Bailout of a compromise; the NFL & NFLPA need to come to real terms on revenue sharing & such, this is just an easy, short sighted answer. Long-term it's not good for the game, more games makes the NFL more like the nba, major league baseball & nhl, where each game doesn't seem as important.

Could not agree more. Plus if he's so concerned about the players safety then he would be pushing for 18 games. Keep it at 16!

Ok, against who, who are these 2 games going to be played against divisonal,in conference or out?It will water down the product ,lets just face the truth this will make the TV contracts bigger = more money for the owners and less quality football for the fan.

2 game is not going to water down the product. I don't even think 20 would. I think that might be the threshold where it starts getting watered down. And I would just say out-of-conference games maybe?

Worst idea ever. Just another wedge between owners and players for the looming lockout next year.

Some people are against it, but I'd actually to see an 18 week season where each team has two byes.... the season would begin on labor day weekend like it used to do, and everyone would have two byes...maybe its because we're so bad lol, but the bye weeks are some of my favorite weeks of football of the season. I like just kicking back and not getting to into it sometimes.

Let's take the players and owners out of it and just think about it for our own selfish desires. Tell me you wouldn't enjoy watching the Skins another two games a year...

I think they would have to add 8 teams to make an expansion work. Lol, the 32 team 8 division system is perfect.

Of course, except during a Zorn year.
