Can't put the genie back in the bottle Pally. I hear ya though. Our dads were old fuddy-duddys hated going to 16 games.
My recommendations count even if we went back to 16 games.
League needs to increase the roster limit to 55 regular, 20 practice squad. Eliminate preseason and allow two bye weeks when going to 18 games. One of the bye weeks is global. I well imagine 20 games is on the horizon.
