I like having only 16 games. Each game means something. There are no unimportant games on the schedule.

Still true, every 20-30 years though it seems like the season has been extended though. Was about 30 years ago that we jumped it from 14 to 16, does seem like we hit a sweet spot.

Anybody remember the 78 season and how thoughts were then about adding to the regular season? Or even the bye week inclusion in.. what was it 90? I remember that happening but not what popular opinion was.
