We already have an imbalance in number of games per season. It was 9, then 10, then 11 for a long time, now 12. And CCGs, @Hawai'i, Pigskin Classics, and playoffs now.

And no, no one takes a hit, they simply don't get added to. I hate that kind of thinking - oh, that RB will get 74 yards added onto his stats and mine stay the same. Umm, well, he did run for 74 more yards. It happened. It doesn't have anything to do with you.
