DANA POINT, Calif. -- 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.
Still, the commissioner hopes to present a proposal to the owners in May after the matter was discussed at length this week at the owners meetings.
"It's possible that we could vote in May, but we want to have core discussions on this," Goodell said Wednesday. "Anytime you have change, there is some reluctance. But it's clear we don't need four preseason games anymore."
I agree that we dont need 4 preseason games, but I really dont know about adding 2 more games. In a longer season, more people are gonna get hurt which in turn will cause them to create more safety rules, and one day we will literally be playing where NO ONE can touch the QB.
Thats my only fear though. More Bills games = more awesome Sundays.
