I guess we will find out tomorrow why it's crucial to have 2 rb's.

I think 18 games would be the beginning of the end. The game is simply too physical and you're going to add wear and tear even moreso.

I absolutely love NFL football but 16 games is plenty (probably 2 games too many). I'd love to keep it at 16 and ditch 2 preseason games while we're at it.

Simply a case of greed on the owners part IMHO.

I agree, but don't see the league agreeing. Three preseason games is probably a bit more correct (since no one cares about the 4th), but it's all money.

The only way I can see the season extending is by increasing the roster size (as suggested earlier).

It is clearly a money decision but unless the league changes things up, we will be headed for a lockout for sure. The owners are determined to make more money whether they are being greedy or not. An 18 game season would be doable if they agree to increase the roster limits from 53 to 58 players for example. After all wildcard teams that make it to the Superbowl play 4 preseason games and then a 20 game season. The teams most affected would be playoff teams who could play as many as 22 games.

I fear the fickle ***** that is change.

Having said that, being a self-proclaimed schedule nerd, I like the system with the current schedule (division teams twice each, one division from NFC, one from AFC, and two other NFC teams). How would those extra two games be created without tearing a hole in the fabric of the space-time continuum????

    • I think the absolute ceiling is 5 with Bryce. I’m expecting 3. They will absolutely beat the Saints at least once, maybe twice. 
    • The offense made a turnover that resulted in a TD. You take that TD off the board and this would have been an entirely different game. I think Evero has the same problems that Canales has. I think they are both handcuffed to some degree due to a talent deficiency on their side of the ball. Canales doesn't have a QB capable of running his scheme. Evero doesn't have enough talent on his side to be effective in his scheme. Our highest paid d-lineman is a good run defender but contributes little to our pass rush. None of LBs would start on a contending team. Our current starting  safeties don't make impact plays. Only 2 of our 11 starters (Brown, Horn) have to be accounted for on each play. Some of this may still be their fault. It appears both have lobbied for players (via FA or the draft)who haven't contributed much. They seem hesitant to play their younger players or remain loyal to guys who just don't produce when they are on the field. As bad as this team is, you'd think they'd be dedicated to getting the young guys on the field as much as possible. Wasting #1 picks on Young and Legette and questionable selections on the defensive side of the ball has set this team back for years.
    • I think we saw exactly who Bryce Young is on the final drive of the game.
