2 Game NFL Preseason Please

Dear National Football League,

Can we please stop with the ridiculous 4 game preseason schedule? You and I both know preseason should consist of 2 games. For the love of anyone that remotely cares about the NFL, immediately make the change.

I know you’ll attempt to make some lame excuses for why you still play 4 preseason games, so let’s take a look at those.

1. NFL teams need 4 games to evaluate players to determine who should be on the roster.

Seriously! Are you trying to suggest NFL coaches and front office staff are that poor at evaluating talent. Nobody’s buying that. Before the preseason starts NFL teams know exactly what 85% of the roster will look like. They only need to decide on a handful of back up positions. This can easily be done in 2 games and a few practices.

2.  Players need to work themselves into playing condition.

You mean the same players that work out 365 days a year with the best trainers money can buy. Okay!

3.  Teams need to work out the kinks and get the timing down, so we can put the best product on the field week 1.

Nice try! Teams work on this during the off season and in practice. Most starters hardly play in the preseason.

I know what you’re thinking. Everybody knows the NFL plays 4 preseason games because they’re greedy. Reminder, this blogs only speaks to what’s logical.
