I almost agree with this with the exception of I’ve noticed up until week 3 of the regular season, you see a lot of flatness and mistakes by starters league wide. After week 3 you see what you really have. Probably because when you’ve not played in awhile, a few preseason games is not going to get you back in the groove. Especially when you may only play 1 drive in PSg3 and maybe a 1/4 or a1/2 in psg4. So in reality, you have played less than 1 ps game before the regular season.

Shortening the ps games to two would be terrible for rookie development, getting down to the 53 and also injuries. I believe injuries is the driving point behind the players union and rightfully so. Specially when you shorten a teams time to prepare for an already rigorous season.
