Supposedly they are saying they will take one or two games off the preseason schedule... which is cool imo. And I would imagine the extra game would be cross conference, so thats cool too.

I’d be cool with it if they added another bye week.

Yes, especially if they set up one bye week for each team to be before their obligated Thursday night game. I suspect that would improve the quality of those games.

Run Thursday night games on Week 1 and then weeks 4-16 (plus the extra two Thanksgiving Day daytime games instead of weeks 2 and 3).

Very good idea.

I don't see that happening but can see another round of playoffs.

What generates more revenue for the league?

Also, post-COVID, a 17th game is a natural place for neutral site games. More teams playing overseas and in Mexico and Canada.

16 is too many. I rarely pay attention to the last two weeks as it is. A lot of bad games yesterday.

16 is fine. But the NFL will screw it up. Like they did with the playoffs that used to be perfect.
