My solution to the 18 game season. Something that both players, owners, and TV can agree on

Too much season interruptus in that plan for any fanbase.

If they want to reduce the impact of injuries, they have to expand the rosters, which they absolutely should in an 18-game season..

Injuries are a part of the game, and the good teams that have fewer injuries or overcome their injuries are contenders. In 2009, the Saints overcame their injuries, but the Falcons were decimated. In 2010, the Falcons were relatively healthy, and the Saints were decimated. That's just the way it go.
