I could even get behind the one game per team per year. It would even mean an easy return to 8H/8A every year while in the US. Selfishly, as a Jags fan it would also mean no more god-damn road-shows spending multiple weeks in England and fucking up the rhythms of the season.

Beyond that, the NFL needs to understand that it will never displace soccer in most of the world and at best it will be playing on the edges, and that it's important to be seen as a product that is premium (to its potential audience) because of its rarity and American-ness. You start thinking that there's enough fan interest in every place every week, and then you hurt the quality of play and become less of an event. THAT'S when you have a real problem. American football is an odd beast that is just not set up for truly global mass appeal.
