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.
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)
Actually, I didn't say 100% of people, I said 100% of STHers. I would be very interested in seeing the results of the same poll but only STHers can vote. I assure you they do not like the current format.Just like almost 100% of people want an 18 game season now

I agree. In another thread, I got some guy trying to tell everyone about some imaginary interview that never happened involving Jonathan Kraft and also how every owner in the NFL has said the same thing.It's funny how people try to decieve to forward their agenda.
Except people clearly aren't happy with the current format, which speaks volumes as to the point I am trying to make.I'm not sure what's "funny" about it. The poll isn't about what's going to happen. It's about what should happen.
Big difference

Yeah, it does. It really does.No, it doesn't. It really doesn't.
Let the record show that I think this is exactly what is going to happen.Only way this would seem plausible is if they also expanded the roster a bit.
PFT has said they are talking about creating a developmental league, which might make sense.Lets say they do change 2 preseason games to reg season games, it would seem the majority of the NFLPA (being lower tier guys) would be wise to go ape****, as it gives them less time to prove/learn/etc to claim a roster spot.
