I do agree with everyone we are near or at a saturation level for NFL football. I would be against games any more days of the week.

There are way too many injuries as it is.

 

If they add a game I'd hope they will allow rosters to grow as well.

 

Or at least do way with the 6 inactive players every week that's required.

By adding an extra bye week and cutting two preseason games out I don't feel it is too much. I definitely agree that all the inactives stink. I wish rosters would expand by few slots and game day actives would do the same.

 

I would love to see three active QBs every week, a backup punter/kicker that could do both jobs and maybe some other additions.

 

Of course, maybe I should be careful what I wish for because a part of the Bengals success is a versatile game day roster. For example, a player like Rex Burkhead is worth his weight in gold when you consider he can capably back up two positions in addition to being a nice special teams player.

If we're looking at putting a better product out there on the field, here's what I'd toss into the ring.

 

1. Definitely add a second bye week. If you say you're a league that's concerned about the health of your players...give them an extra week to recoup during the season. It's silly that someone could have a bye in week #4, and potentially have to go non-stop for the next 16 or so weeks thru the playoffs without a break.

 

2. This one you might be trouble if we were talking about any other network, but if you're going to have a game on Thursday night...then both teams are coming off a bye the week before. This is two-fold win. The players have longer to recoup (see above about health issues) AND you'd have a much better chance for a competitive ballgame.

 

3. Go ahead and expand the rosters. Doesn't have to be much, maybe 4 or 5 spots, or heck just round it to an even 60. Get some regulars off of special teams, and increase the depth at just about every position. I don't ever want to hear about a team "winning the war of attrition"...I want them to win it with plays.

 

Just my two cents.

I started typing my post after yours at #16. By the time I was done, you and HB20 had pretty much already said the same thing. (In fairness, I did take a phone call during that time, but didn't think it took that much time.)
