20 is the magic number

After reviewing the fans of this region and NFL fans from across the entire USA, a large majority of people do not like the 18 games format during the regular season. After reading fans' opinions about 4 pre-season games, the majority of them do not like the 4 pre-season game set-up. Is there an answer to this? I don't think so. No matter want the season ticket holders think, no matter what the Steeler Nation thinks, no matter what the ordinary fan that never goes to a Steeler game thinks, no matter what the media thinks, NFL teams are going to play 20 games before the playoffs. Whether there are 16 regular season games and 4 pre-season games, whether there are 18 regular season games and 2 pre-season games, and whether there are 20 regular season games and O pre-season games, the players are going to play 20 games period. Could it be that the networks have something to do with the 18 game schedule, could it be that the potential lock-out has something to do with the 18 game schedule, or could it be that the owners realize that 4 pre-season games is not what everyone wants. An 18 game regular season schedule is going to be very grueling on the players but they are Professional Athletes and they will make the adjustment. Soon the NFL season is going to begin just after Labor Day and be finished just after Valentine's Day. Could it possible for a team to go 0 and 18?
