18 Game Season "A Done Deal"

[Kurb]

Thank god it's not this year or we'd have to sit through 18 games of this garbage.

So if there's no lockout then what did we go through this for?

Cleaning up the books.

Starting over.

I like it. I'm selfish. I have PSLs. One less meaningless game and one more meaningful I get to watch live.

If it only started this year then the panthers could go 15-3.

we'd already be 0-5

[Jbro]

So would 13-5 get us into the playoffs? Maybe I should start a poll.

Cleaning up the books.

I get the cleaning up the books part, but did we have to start over?

[Brooklyn Bully]

Should keep it as is. Teams will make the playoffs early and put scrubs in for three or four games

Why would that be? At MOST nowadays a team plays scrubs for two games. That's rare too, it's usually just one. If we goto 18 games, we all goto 18. That means, during game 18 you'll see the scrubs and maybe 17 every few years. It'd be no different. I'd hate to be the coach that lost his final four games with scrubs and it made him lose home field advantage.

I think 16 games is enough, especially with the play off games.

Careers are going to be drastically shortened and the quality of the league is going to be watered down.

Something tells me this would have helped us this year.

[beastson]

Not with it. Ray Lewis said it best on the players part

I dont want to visually see 18 games also

[Montsta]

So does that mean we're gonna be the first team to lose 17+ games in a season now?

Awesome! College Football needs to expand now! It'll end like 3 months before the NFL ends now. SMH

I heard Howie Long talking about this, and I agree with him to some extent.

IMO If this goes thru, there should be 3 preseason games, 18 regular season

games, 2 Bye weeks and the roster cap should be upped to 57, because of the

issues with injuries. Maby a larger practice squad would be good as well.

[Skew]

I like the 2 extra regular season games but i think this will skew alot of the records having extra games to play

Don't worry. I'm not going to change any records if we go to 18 games.

[Pantherman]

I honestly think if they are going to extend the season to 18 games. They really need to extend the roster by 10 extra players and really they should consider extending the playoff to 2 more teams per conference to give other teams a better chance of making the playoffs. But I'm still not a fan of the extra 2 games. Honestly takes these players all of training camp and all 4 preseason games to really getting into game playing shape and kknock the rust off from the long offseason. This going to be very debateable among the players in the league for months to come.
