18 game schedule coming...What would you like to see the new format be?

To me the NFL is just watering down their product, and increasing the cost to the average fan. OK you have 2 more games, which will increase the likelyhood of serious injury to starters, or like some guys have said, to 2-4 worthless games where the scrubs play so the teams can rest their starters. You say the remedy to this is increase the roster size, fine, but I don't think two games is going to cover the cost of paying 8-10 additional players, leaving the owners with the sizeable profit they want. In addition to that, what are they going to do with the draft? Add 4-6 rounds or something? We all know anyone picked past the 3rd round is most likely practice squad fodder or most likely cut, so what is that going to do to the quality of the product? Also, is the average fan, going to be able to fork over the probable increase in ticket prices, etc? The NFL is going to self destruct over the long haul with this stupidity.
