As we all to well know, exhibitions often don't sell out and some are blacked out,for this very reason.

The regular season games naturally make more money for the league and more money for the players because they don't make money for preseason games.

If 2 games are indeed added it will will shorten players careers and probably lengthen rosters.

There is no doubting that more players will be lost to injury,then NFL teams will have to have good backups on the roster to replace them.

I'd say if they are going to go to an 18 game regular season format, that the NFL expand the roster beyond 53 to accomadate for injuries and the extra wear and tear on players.
