would love another game, but will the travel work?

I've thought for a while they should drop 2 preseason games and make the regular season 18 games, but this actually sounds like a pretty good idea to me. The teams won't sacrifice home games, and fans outside of the US might actually get to see a real NFL game.

I just hope they schedule them so that the teams that play have their bye weeks the next week, at least for the games that require them to go overseas,

Rather see the useless preseason converted into 4 more games and 2 bye-weeks.

I don't think it is a good idea taking our NFL teams overseas on a regular basis. Too much shit could happen. I mean like a terrorist attack. I'm sure the players don't want to travel, and fuck Europe or any other country for that matter when it comes to the NFL. That is America's baby and if they want to see it they can get on a fucking plane, not us. I do agree with shortening the preseason though.

It sounds like thats what they would do...try to schedule it around the bye weeks..

I say get rid of at least 2 of the pre season games anyway
