NFL 18 Game Schedule Could be Rough

The NFL wants to go to an 18 game schedule, instead of the current 16 game schedule, which includes four preseason games.
With an 18 game regular season schedule we would see a two game preseason. But, look at the injuries in the present 16 game schedule. The Bills just put two more players on injured reserve and the Steelers may have lost another to IR with the injury to left tackle Max Starks. The game is so fast and physical now that many teams have lost star players to season ending injury. Look at the Dallas Cowboys. Tony Romo's injury may have cost Cowboys coach Wade Phillips his job. The Cowboys offense has fallen on hard times since the injury to Romo. The Detroit Lions lost quarterback Matt Stafford to a shoulder injury last weekend, and his season may be in jeporady. Take former Bills quarterback Trent Edwards, who led his team to a 5-1 record in 2008, the suffered a concussion and hasn't been the same. Injuries has always been a part of the game, but have increased since the team went from a 14 to 16 game schedule. Imagine what it will be like when the NFL goes to an 18 game schedule.
