Well, it's actually a 20 game season already......16 + 4 = 20.....I think my math is correct.
All I know is that the rosters should get bigger for injuries and player development.
I don't like practice squad because other teams have "access" to your players.
I like #1 seed for playoffs get's a bye week.......It keeps your late season games relevant and rewards the team with the best record for each conference.
Add a playoff team, sure.....
Okay, but I was talking about the regular season. The key here being starters have to play in the 16 game regular season, not the pre-season. I don't believe the players will ever go for an 18 game regular season.
Rosters may get bigger, they may not. I don't know. That takes revenue away from the league so I am not so sure it will happen.
....
Well, once upon a time the players went from a 12 game season to a 14 game season. Then they later went from the 14 to a 16 game season.
Market forces and the Benjamins are pushing us toward a 2 preseason and 18 regular game season. Like it or not, this is as inevitable as an advancing glacier.
Might take a few more years, but it’s coming.
