I don't see why it's such a bad thing. One more game's worth of wear and tear
on the players is legit, but it's also another week for players to recover and
get back on the field. But above all, it does away with one BS preseason game
that nobody but the owners likes, and makes it something people want to see.

Yep, I HATE this 17 game thing.
The only way they could save it is if it made the season last longer, into
January....but they won't do that, the "real" season will now start 1 week
earlier. I've often thought that the season should be moved back anyway, just
because it is SO hot in southern and eastern cities in August and even early
September..
32 Teams/16 games. There's a symmetry there. Even if they added 2 more teams
I wouldn't like the 17 game thing.

I know this will lower pre-season to 3 games which is good for fans but bad for
players on a number of levels. If adding a game I really think that the best
thing to do is give each team 2 bye weeks.
