Doesnt' Goodell want to add more? I kinda can't stand him anymore Wants a 18 game regular season, yes. But I'm pretty sure that would mean only 2 preseason games. I believe that's right, the 2 weeks gained by cutting the preseason would go towards an extra game+bye week. Yeah, I've never heard anybody talk about adding preseason games. The whole thing has been about an acknowledgement that preseason sucks but not wanting to get rid of the gate receipts (although those must pale in comparison to the TV money). It might be better to see something like a B bracket tournament. Let four or eight teams that don't make the playoffs play some more games, and give the winner of that tournament something like the 5th pick in the draft. Some 9-7 doomed to miss the playoffs and still draft 20th has a chance to play for playoff shares and a boost to the next year's team.
