Goodell wants longer regular season

DANA POINT, Calif. (AP)—More games that count, perhaps as early as August 2011? That’s exactly what NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wants.

There are several hurdles before the league can expand its regular season from 16 to 17 or 18 games. Among them is reaching a new collective bargaining agreement with the players’ union.

I'd love to see us drop at least 1 preseason game. Shave it down to 3, make the season last 17 games... I like it!

Of course, thats also one less game to evaluate non-starter talent, but surely 3 games is enough to get a good feel for what everyone is capable of.

Too many injuries... it's a bad idea.

As a season ticket holder, I like it. More regular season games for me to go to. Preseason games are dull.

as a fan i would love for there to be more games, i say keep four preseason games and have 18 regular season games. but i could also see how owner and players wouldnt like it because of the injuries and money that would have to be spent

more games means more tv dollars for the nfl.

I would also think the more games, the more money for owners as long as they are filling the seats? Pre-season is important for player development and eveauation. But I think shaving it to two games would be ok. You can get a feel during practice on players.

This could really screw up fantasy football though !
