I love NFL football. Two more games would be great.
This isn't really something to argue about, as it's totally subjective. You want more games regardless of it's affect on the quality of the games and the league. I'm all about maintaining traditions, as well as minimizing risk of injuries to star players. I'm also aware of fatigue risks of an 18 game schedule. Especially for rookies coming out of college - who already struggle a bit to adapt to 16 games.
It's truly quality vs quantity.
You either want more games or you want the games we do have to be more meaningful. I also prefer NFL records having some meaning to them.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
