NFL Schedule: More Games?!

What is the league doing!? I don't know if everyone know but the NFL wants to extend the regular season to 19 weeks, I think this is... nuts!!! This is coming to you from a guy who doesn't leave his house on sundays and watches every single game on the NFL Sunday Ticket, seriously I have faught with my parents every single week so I can stay home and watch football.                                      

This "extending the regular season" is something that would really affect the way fans watch football. I know its just 2 more weeks... but the beauty of football is that the season is so short so intense, that every game is worth a lot. A 3 game losing streak is something that can destroy a season, this is not baseball, I mean there are teams in baseball that go in 10 or 11 game losing streak and still make the playoffs, so that means that if you loose a game in May or June it doesn't matter that much, in football it's not that way.  You loose a game in September, November  or any other month and you may be out of the playoff race, in football you have to play every game at you best, with every thing you got, so its a more much competitive season.

If they expand the season, I think that you as a fan would not kill yourself that much to watch every single game because they wouldn't be so important, " so you loose a game... you still have 18 weeks... don't worry" I mean this would suck!!!. Plus teams that have already clinched their divisions or playoff spots would star resting their players in week 15.... ( I know they do it already but if you only have 2 weeks left you don't want to risk your players) and you would have to watch 4 boring weeks of football, I really don't want to see Sorgi playing 5 weeks ina year... or watching Jabbar Gaffney be the #1 receiver for Matt Cassel 5 weeks a year!!!. Man... that would really bum me out...

And a little extra reason why I don't want this: I'm a Raider fan... 19 weeks? I would cry!(Don't worry JaMarcus I still believe un you!!)
