How would you feel about an 18-game season?

Make it 26

Fine, but two bye weeks and everyone is off on both.

NO!!!!! This is a terrible idea and I hope the NFLPA fights it tooth and nail. The stars will be hurt by the end of the season OR teams will wait to start their better players until the 3rd or 4th game. I also say shorten the pre-season. 2 games....tops. I LOVE football and want to see it played at the highest caliber every week.

Screw 18...make them play 82 like every other damn sport.

They think they're tough and get paid like they are...they're the weakest conditioned athletes out there.

The NFLPA will go for it if the team roster sizes are increased. The more players, the more union dues.

The networks and the owners already like it. More money for them.

So you see, it's not for the love of the game. It's all about money as usual.

Wow. I think it would be a big step back from the current 162. And the Yankees would spend even more ridiculous amounts, since it would only take a month for A-Rod to completely disappear in the postseason once again.

i think a perfect season would be more difficult.

with ALL that is wrong in sports, i think the 16-game season is one of the best things going. i say they fix something that is actually broken.

just add hot water

surfish...I'm not disagreeing with you. Unfortunately, you are right. However, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that this will diminish a lot of aspects of the game. As it currently stands, EVERY single game is important. Do you watch football every weekend during the season? I do....I couldn't tell you the last time I watched a regular season NBA game. They just don't matter that much. A Baseball game is a pleasant reminder of summer...but every football game may make the difference in whether a team gets to the post season. It is perfect and I hope they do not screw it up.

^ I wasn't disagreeing with you either. I like the 16 game season. The preseason is worthless, though. I think they should take the preaseason away altogether. Too many good players get hurt during preseason. Extend the training camps to get conditioning done and go straight to the regular season. Preseason games are just a money generator IMHO.

Make pre-season 2 games (or don't have one, who really watches that **** anyway?) and the season 18.

I'm all for it. I LOVE football. When it's not football season (like now) I spend more time doing stuff and less time sitting, drinking beer, smoking cigars and doing nothing.

It's debilitating.
