The NFL should go to 18 regular season games by dropping two of the meaningless pre season games. Each team should have one bye week as it is now. Have the two preseason games starting in early August with the first two regular season games the last two Sundays in August. That way the playoffs are still at the regular time of the year with the Super Bowl at a warm weather site, or a Domed stadium the first week in February. People are used to football in August so it's not a big deal starting the regular season earlier
