Eighteen Games-We Know It's Coming!

I am in favor of 18 regular season games. The greedy owners charge the same price for game tickets for pre-season as they do for regular. So the owners 2 more sell outs. We get 2 more games.

As long as they also increase the active roster from 53 to around 65 and the game day roster up from 46 to 55.

If they are not allowed to have larger rosters, than I say no.

The players can't take 18 games +, their bodies will not hold up. Add in the quality of football will go down . You will need bigger rosters and that means more payroll,if a player is making a million a game for 16 weeks he will get a two million dollar raise for 18. Most of the starters are not playing in the preseason .Hell the quality of the games in the first 3-4 weeks of the year is questionable becuase the players just are not ready. For God's sake don't turn it into Basketball or Hockey where it goes on forever.

Does anyone remember when it was a 14 game season and 7 preseason games?
