I think the NFL should expand the rosters to 63 players and get rid of the 46 man gameday roster.
Expanding the playoffs is ok as long as we only allow winning records into the playoffs. Going to 7 teams per conference would work as long as we do not have any below .500 teams involved.
Getting rid of the preseason games should not be an option. The only thing wrong with the preseason games is the full price tickkets the NFL ask fans to pay when fans know that starters only play a half or less per game except week 4 when starters do not play at all. That is the message fans are trying to send to Roger Goodell. Fans want half price tickets for the preseason game. No one realizes this but if you reduce the number of preseason games then it will become a norm for high profile players and most starters not to play during the preseason.

I worry about this because I KNOW that if any team can get in, I am going to lose interest in the NFL product.

As it is with the NBA- I cant get into the regular season- I follow it, but i dont really watch games till the playoffs start.

I can see myself do the same thing with the NFL very easily. I will lose interest and just focus on the playoffs. Right now it is really enjoyable being an NFL fan- but i dont know if its going to last.

Theyre selling out the regular season for more playoff games. It will be like hockey where half the teams get in and fair weather fans show up later in the season. Its a bad idea, and it should be voted down.
