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.

Could not agree more. Plus if he's so concerned about the players safety then he would be pushing for 18 games. Keep it at 16!
