Seems like this year there's been a lot of injuries to start the year.

I'm still on the cutting it down to have 2-3 games.

lack of a normal off season before a lighter training camp a factor too in my opinion.

I’d rather an injury on a game that means something than losing guys like we do every year in preseason

I am all for zero preseason games.

Make every game count, right from the start. Just like every other level of football.

I like it.

Teams play it so close to the vest in preseason anyway basically just an extended chance for bubble players to make the squad.

I would be thrilled if I never had to watch a preseason game again.

I've always been for 2 preseason games at neutral sites. Don't make the season ticket holders have to pay for it, give the players reps, and give out of market fans a chance to see some NFL action.

I like this as well. I always felt the preseason games were more important for the guys not making the roster. Gives them a chance to catch in somewhere else. Also gives the Saints a chance to improve their roster by seeing game film on players from other teams about to be cut

I may be in the minority, but I like preseason. It gives you a chance to see young talent in your team and around the league.

Two games, one home and one away. A pre season is necessary, but four games are two too many.

LOL at people who think that preseason games are a burden. The teams practice and scrimmage against each other all week. The game is just a final scrimmage before a new team rotates in.

The only way reducing the number of preseason games reduces chances of injury is if there’s a concurrent reduction in weeks of training camp.

I've been saying it for years.

3 preseason games. 17 regular season games.

Start the season on Labor Day weekend, like the NFL used to. Holiday weekends are great for fans to travel.

It makes way too much sense, so the NFL will NEVER do it.
