I think a Super Bowl on President's Day Weekend makes a ton of sense. The Monday after a SB should be a holiday or day off IMO lol, but having it on a random early Feb weekend is a bit odd.
I'm for the 18-game plan with one less preseason game. Lets be real, it's not like people treat those preseason games as importantly as before due to injury risk and such, and also with the increased emphasis on training camp and joint practices, I think organizations are using those more to evaluate players and do their drills/practice. I remember last preseason in two of the preseason games the Pats literally sat a bunch of guys including "bubble guys" because they apparently showed their stuff in the offseason workouts and joint practices and they felt good from just that. So all you basically had were guys who were gonna get cut anyways just to fill the space and gametime.
