    Bill Polian says the 18-game NFL season is a done deal.


    NDIANAPOLIS -- Bill Polian says the 18-game NFL season is a done deal.

    During Monday night's weekly radio show, the Indianapolis Colts team president called it a "fait accompli" and said the debate is over. Polian is a member of the league's competition committee and has worked in the league office.

              I'm not very happy about this. The 3rd and 4th preseason games both had important roles, and our team needs the practice.

              One thing I'm wondering - what will happen to the Hall of Fame game? When there were 4 preseason games, one extra didn't really give a competitive advantage. With only 2, are they going to give those two teams 50% more time to practice their plays than the rest of the league? Doesn't seem very fair to me.

                  No one is going 21-0, thats impossible.

                  I also expect to see more records get broken easily and the bar for great play will be raised.

                    I think this is ******ed. Shorter careers, records mean less. It's all about the $.

                      I think we will see the level of play reduced. I hope they allow more players on the roster to account for attrition. The truth is that after week four most of the players are mailing it in unless it is an important game.

                        I dont think the fans necessarily want more games, just less offseason.

                        They should play every other week. Half the teams play one week, the other half the next. That would increase the season 100%. More rest in between games means more players on the field for more of the season.

                        Throw in a weekly Thursday game and we dont have to wait 8 months for football. Just four, and draft talk will take care of that.

                        More spotlight will hit the small teams. The networks wont have Dalllas or NE to talk about every week.

                        I would so prefer this scenario over just two more games and less star players playing.

                            1000 yards a season doesn't mean much now, won't mean anything with 18 games.

                              They also need to make the Pro Bowl the halfway point of the season and give every team the week off.
