18 Game Schedule.. Good or Bad?

[freddyg12]

Terrible idea IMO.

1) there are already a lot of meaningless (no playoff implications) games at the end of year.
2) the "shorter preseason" argument is bogus; starters don't play that much & coaches still need games to evaluate the guys fighting for roster spots.
3) Injuries. winning in the end will be even more about who's healthy & who's roster is deep. It's a tough game but I don't want to see it become a battle of attrition.
4) Bailout of a compromise; the NFL & NFLPA need to come to real terms on revenue sharing & such, this is just an easy, short sighted answer. Long-term it's not good for the game, more games makes the NFL more like the nba, major league baseball & nhl, where each game doesn't seem as important.
