Why, so we can see the respective practice squads duking it out in the Super Bowl? Injuries play a major enough role in the 16 game format, why prolong the abuse to the players bodies? Their careers are short enough arent they? I say find a way to make the preseason games more appealing if they want to generate more revenue.

I agree. It's pretty amazing that the first 10 responses to this are no, when someone interviewed dozens of poeple, with almost 100% saying yes.

No, for reasons which have been beaten into the ground in the other thread. Season ticket holders should be given discounts and other perks on preseason games.

16 games is enough already. The league might seem like their "enhance" regular season might be a good idea, not so for the wear and tear of every player each season. The league might see it as a great investment, but it dont work that way with players getting hurt, playing hurt and health risks after their career. Scrap the 18 games, Scrap 2 preseason games, and leave it at 16 games.

Here's what is going to happen:
The players will be bought out, eventually selling their support for the 18 game format.
The league will implement it in 2012.
It will be a huge success.
Everyone who opposed it today will love it and claim they supported it all along.

It's funny how people oppose the change, but at the same time they don't like the current format. In this thread, we've seen suggestions to...

"find a way to make the preseason games more appealing" (uh, ok... any ideas on how to do that exactly?)

"Season ticket holders should be given discounts and other perks on preseason games." (Not gonna happen!)

"Scrap 2 preseason games" (Not gonna happen! Well, not without the 18 game regular season that is)

I don't really have strong feelings one way or the other. 16 is fine, but 18 games wouldn't bother me. I won't complain about more football. If it starts to get any higher than that it'll be getting ridiculous.
