Had the NFL kept 16 game schedule, we’d be watching playoff football but instead

There were teams sitting starters in the last week of 16 game schedule too. This happens when playoff spots are locked in, not because of a 17th game

If that’s the case, why not add an 18th game?

Should’ve stayed at 16 games.

So instead of watching divisional playoffs, we’d be watching backups play. And 40 players will have 1000 receiving yards.

Like someone else said they played backups with the 16 game schedule as well. I too prefer 16 but the extra game is not why we have back ups playing today

Think the nfl would benefit more from keeping the 18 week calendar but adding an extra bye to help promote recovery. So 16 games with 2 byes

The odd number of games making uneven records is annoying as hell

32 teams, 8 divisions, 16 games was so mathematically beautiful

They probably will, and then players will sit in game 18 instead of game 17
