Gimme 18 games!!!

Only 27 percent favored the idea in an Associated Press poll released last week, and even fewer (18 percent) gave it a thumbs-up when Sports Illustrated’s Peter King solicited opinions on Twitter and received more than 1,200 responses.

I often wonder when people start sighting their "poll" percentages if the poll was done fair? I mean I never knew there was a poll and I'm in favour of the 18 game season. Plus I know the poll is supposed to simply give them an idea of numbers but I don't Twitter and is 1,200 responses an acturate assessment of what the actual populace wants?

I understand preseason, and the main reason for it, to be able to evaluate the young talent. But honestly why don't they just simply have more scrimages? or after the 1st two weeks of team drills and practice teams would be allowed to practice against each other with out the violent hits.
