Back in 1994 the NFL experimented with two bye weeks for each team and I hated it. Maybe if they cut the preseason down to two games, began the regular season two weeks earlier it might work. However, players may demand more pay/bonuses regarding the extra two ‘official games’.
Every year it seems that many key players are lost for the season during every preseason. So far the NFL has been somewhat fortunate this preseason.
