    Maybe spend a little less time pro-creating and a little more time on Purple Vein and passing accuracy?

    I will say this. Quality of the Thursday night games has been very good most weeks this season. (In terms of competitiveness)
    That has not been the case in the past.

    Just checked...last year for 14 Thursday night games not counting the season opener, had 5 decided by one score or less and 9 decide by over 7 points (including scores like 34-13, 45-10, 42-23, 34-3, 52-21and 30-9)

    Hmm. Well maybe the other three over 7 points were good ones. So about half were good?

    34-23, 38-24 and 31-17. (the 38-24 was Pats/Colts and wasn't as close as final score, I remember that one well, and the 31-17 was Saints/Falcons Thanksgiving night, also not as competitive as it sounds)

    Final Thurs game of the year was the Chargers 29-28 win in KC on the 2 point conversion late, so your brain is probably just remembering the last thing it saw. ;)

    I don’t even care about close scores. They just did a horrible job of placing prime time caliber matchups on Thursday. 

    Haven’t paid that much attention, but I wonder how the TNF matchups line up with projected results.

    I love Thursday night football.  It stretches out the NFL week where it feels like no down-time.  It is another nationally televised game not lost in the 1PM, 4PM sunday slog.  

    In the next CBA, I hope they can work on some sort of scheduling that marries bye weeks with Thursday games though to keep it safe and players happy

    Amen. A lot of people complain about TNF and I don't see why. It's nice to have game in the middle of the week. What else would I watch on Thursday nights? Between May 1998 (final Seinfeld) and November 2006 (debut of TNF), the answer was nothing.

    I feel like it is one of those things that is just socially acceptable to be obligated to bitch about.  

    Reminds me of hockey when every fan bitches when a ref calls a player for hooking/tripping as well as the other player for diving.  They claim it cant be both.  It certainly can.  There can be a hook, but a player can embellish at the same time.  Every time it happens though, you see a slew of people rehashing the same couple phrases.


    But yeah.  Thursday gives just enough time to recover from Monday and get your fantasy team and gambling interests ready.  Then you usually have a compelling college football game Friday night, Saturday college football, NFL all day Sunday, and Monday night.  Take a breather Tuesday to look at power rankings.  If you are a crackhead, you can even watch MACtion on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

    Putting product in my face all the time is a big part of why I’ve cooled on the NFL. I’m not gonna get hyped for a Browns Dolphins showdown. Liked it better when they kicked in after Thanksgiving.

    I agree. I'd also rather see opening night on Saturday rather than Thursday.

    here is a novel idea. watch the games you are interested in and ignore those that you are not. it's not really complicated.  if a Thursday night game sucks i don't watch. if it's interesting ill watch. same with Sunday's and Monday's. my eagles don't play this week so i have no expectation of how much actual NFL I will watch this week.  Personally I think every game on Sunday should be on regular TV and the times should be staggered.  Start at 10:00 am in the East and have different games start on the hour every hour and all on TV.

    All Thursday games are bad for players, even the post Thanksgiving ones.  They should be stopped. 

    Why can't you run 2 on Monday Night?

    10 and 14 point type games can be good ones. The match ups going in looked good too. Pats/Colts with Luck still there was a game people didn't roll their eyes over. I just remember the Jags/Titans types of games being more prevalent before last year.

    Agreed about too much being a bad thing.

    I liked when they didn't have any Thursday games (other than Thanksgiving) but just had Saturday games in December, after college was mostly done.

    Sundays had a little more gravitas to it when it was the only day for games....same thing for Monday.

    Now we've got a couple non Sunday prime time games and we're lucky to get a good match up because Fox and CBS have to have their big game as does NBC.

    Yeah I can’t stand pregame shows anymore.  I just wait until kickoff and then turn on the game.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    The all season long Thursday games precedent was and still is bad.  The color rush was the nail in the coffin.

    Back when Bill Parcells was coaching they didn't play those Thursday games, and, by the way, get your dog off my lawn.

    Yeah I haven't watched pregames in a long while. Maybe catch a couple minutes once in a while, that's it.


    I do watch some NFL network stuff during the week sometimes though. (And take every chance I get to watch Coleen Wolfe).
