[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 291100, member: 1007"] There would be some concessions made if the league were to go to an 18 game season. Things like an extra bye week, additional roster spots and a later cut down period, are all being discussed and are all on the table. I get the argument about the possibility of injuries, but remember the league used to be a 12 game league and has since gone to 16 games. It can work just fine, especially if the 53 man roster is allowed to increase. I also get the argument about the hidden gems that need the additional playing time to be noticed. One way to get these hidden gems to be noticed would be to have a farm system that runs concurrent with the league season. Another way would be for the league to extend the cut-down period so a longer evaluation can be taken. From a fan standpoint, I simply want more football that matters. Period, end of story. Pre-season is all well and good, but football is better when the games matter. If I were a season ticket holder, I wouldn't want to have to pay full price for two games that don't matter when I can get by paying for one. Simply put, the fans want more football. How awesome would it be for the league to be starting this weekend as opposed to three weeks from now? Good on the league for looking for ways to cater more towards the fans. [/QUOTE]
