Quote:Some of John Harbaugh's comments make no sense. He wants combined practices with other teams? The NFL already does that. He wants more regular season games? That would be more dangerous than four preseason games. He just lost Ben Watson for the year and said his feelings are not reactionary. Of course they are - otherwise he would have complained a lot earlier in the month. I do agree with him on increasing roster size though.

 

When the NFL owners talked about converting two preseasons games into regular season games, they were thinking about selling game tickets. Players balked at the idea, saying they would need a second bye week if that happens.

 

  The comments that were posted with the article link were my comments.   At this time I don't know if John Harbaugh wants combined practices with other teams or more regular season games.    In the above reply,   I didn't suggest additional regular season games.  

 

  Are you certain John Harbaugh didn't complain earlier in the month about the pre-season?   

 

  If the NFL does expand the regular season,  expanded rosters and an additional bye would seem to be necessary.    The NFL got rid of the 2nd bye back in the 1990's because the TV Networks that had the rights to the Sunday Afternoon games were complaining there weren't enough appealing games to televise in a give week.
