I'm guessing the players won't agree to extra regular season games. Too many players don't make it through a season as is. To stretch out the season, they might add a second bye week. Ideally that would occur the week before a Thursday game, if those are still to be played.

Wonder how Ras feels about this.

Oh, the Stache would complete the heel turn.

I think the players will strike before having an 18 game season, unless they get such a bigger piece of the revenue pie that the union leadership can convince them to do it. I just don't think the owners can swallow giving up that much revenue though.

18 game season so stupid. Can't keep players healthy for a 16 game season.

#Bears coach Matt Nagy says QB Mitch Trubisky will "most likely miss this game" but calls him day-to-day.


So, he is benched?

I think they should go the other way - 14 game schedule, 2 preseason, 3 byes/team. Get more national games and revenue from that. Byes before Thursday games will make those games better. Have 10 spots for IR to return, but reduce minimum time on IR to 4 weeks.

Regional games have got to be an expensive model to produce. I could see this being an attractive idea. Fewer total games, more total televised events. Lower costs, more revenue.

The local share of ad revenue for Titans-Jax can't be very high.

Though I doubt teams will give up on eight home games. They want so badly to get to 9 they are considering 17 over two seasons.

How about a first EASY step of allowing all of your 53 man roster to be active? The teams already pay these guys. If the league is really concerned about an easy first step in improving player safety, let EVERYONE on the roster be active. Sheesh.

I'm totally fine with this. And if teams get upset about crazy substitutions, just go no huddle. I will make them pay!

Keep it at 16 games, but do the rest of this. I love it. I think any player that gets hurt should be able to come back after 4 weeks. Why turn injuries and player health into a chess game and punish the fans/franchise over a freak injury? Let the players play if they're healthy.

When I saw the play, I thought he might have broken his collar bone. Didn't, but did dislocate his left shoulder.
