Eighteen Games-We Know It's Coming!

I hope the players don't agree to this.

Owners won't do a league wide bye, they want NFL games on TV as much as possible.

Imagine a guy like Trent playing two additional games with bad knees. I just don't see how you will have quality football at the end. Most of the playoff spots will be wrapped up by week 16 anyways. It's just not a good decision so we will probably see it for the 2020 season.

I agree. Great points you made here, the extra wear and tear, the already meaningless week 16/17 games due to spots locked up, the only real benefit is more money for the owners.
