There had better be a sh!tload of changes to roster and injury rules.
The fans say they hate it (and I'm one of them), but they're sure as hell going to watch it. The league knows this and so do the fans.
+1. Once 2-and-18 has been implemented and around for a while, fans will look at the days of 4-and-16 the way we look at the days of 6-and-14: A what-were-they-thinking anachronism.The fans say they hate it (and I'm one of them), but they're sure as hell going to watch it.

Don't lock yourself in so soon! Just boycott whichever weeks the Pats have their byes.I will boycott week 7 and 13. I've never been a fan of those weeks anyway
The NFL is stronger now than it has been in decades, perhaps even stronger than ever. So, with all due respect, it is silly to say Goodell is "destroying the league."I am deeply concerned by Roger Goodell's judgement.
The 18 game schedule, away games in London, inconsistent punishment system, etc.
He's destroying the league, and we won't realize it until several years from now, the same way the NHL looks back and realizes it screwed up but didn't know it at the time.
IMHO, it is a no brainer that teams will get an additional bye, as well as expanded rosters. I also would not be surprised to see a revised "injured reserve" where a player can be placed on the IR list for a limited period instead of it automatically being season ending.I'm okay with it if each team gets two byes.
