I get your point but preseason games have almost always cost similar to regular season games. If anything I'm for the extra games because I'm basically already paying for them.

They'd have to basically restrict any kind of injury/roster restrictions and I'd be all for it.

Preseason games are safer. Turning two preseason games into regular season games will make more money and be less safe.

Sounds like little league with forcing coaches to play their players for a minimum time.

ie, I wasn't against this in Little League but the NFL is just a wee bit different.

Nobody maxes out their reps in preseason games. Hence, there are fewer injuries. If the rule of thumb you cite was a significant factor, the schedule would have been expanded years ago.

I’ve heard someone in the NFL came up with the idea of a 17 game season with each team having one neutral site game and 2 bye weeks and I want to say 3 preseason games. Thought that was interesting.

NFL wants some attention so they have proposed 18 game season with 16 game player limits by CelticDog
2 preseason games.

60 man roster
the game day limit of 45 + 3rd quarterback is what matters... Would that become 53 with a during the week limit of 60? What about 90 men during training camp becoming 100? NFL revenue can support it

When fans say they want an 18 game schedule, what they're really saying is they want more weeks of football. I'd have every team play 16 games and have four bye weeks between week 3 and week 18 in a 20 week season. 8 teams would have a bye every week and the season would start in August
