I no longer want 18 games, for the simple reason that more games means less elite play. Attrition is bad enough as it is.
The bye, to me, is unfair. Think of all the times we played New England coming off of their bye.
A seventh team only hurts the sixth team, who's got a hard enough road as it is.
Basically, imho, if it ain't broke don't fix it. The league probably doesn't care what I say but there is my two cents.
