this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; 16 games are plenty much already. I think increasing the number is a bad idea. Rosters should be expanded thou, that part I like....

Anyone else catch the "NFL Cares About Player Safety" commercial?

If part of the trade off is adding 2nd bye week, then I'd be a hard no.
If they add 2-3 players to both the actual roster and the active, I'd be all for it. |

Re: USA Today/Saints Wire: NFL still mulling over 17-game regular season in new CBA
I think so also. 16 games(I'm lucky to get to see 1/2 of them the way I work and some of the areas I'm working) the way it's changed has less appeal than it has, adding more games takes the fun out of it and can just about garantee expansion teams and oversees teams. I'll take good ole American football over the greedy world wide football any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Who wants to watch the Mexico City Diabloes or the England Bloaks, not me.

And the NFL is very much against any more expansion. The moving of franchises, sure, but the 32 team formula is ideal with either a 16 or 17 game schedule. |

Why would you be so opposed to a second bye week. It would double the opportunity for teams to get players healthy. They could be spaced around the first and second third points of the season giving each team an early and late season bye.

Most players want that.
