17 Game Season?

FOX Sports - NFL - NFL may expand to 17 games

Quote:

Although talks are extremely preliminary, the NFL is investigating adding a 17th regular-season game and playing it outside the United States. The extra game would take the place of one in the preseason, allowing every team to play once abroad without sacrificing a home match.

phuck that. It's a stupid idea... How do you schedule it? Every team plays in one right before their bye week? The travel would be a nightmare, the players would hate it and resent it... not to mention Pac-man might get his hans chopped of in western Asia for making it rain on Hos. Horrible idea, and I don't want to see it.

How would you feel if you star player got his knee blown out in this 17th game that was scheduled for a bunch of people in another country that think football is soccer.

It's too much, if they wanna mess around with the schedule they should remove a game or two, preseason is also stretched out to long.

How can you say adding an extra game is a bad thing? Move the SB back a week, remove some of the dead time between the SB and the Draft and keep things going like normal

Agreed with the preseason part of your comment, but I think 16 games is just right for the NFL.
