    Thursday night surprises me, the games are usually sloppy and the players hate them. Don't know anyone that likes the them.

    They had much better matchups this year on Thursday nights since Fox paid a shitload of money for those games.  But yeah, the quality of those games is generally pretty bad.

    this season, the Thursday night games were fantastic for the most part.  

    I like the Thursday games tbh.  Gives a nice little head start into the weekend, and is a stand-alone fantasy ice breaker for the week.  

    IMO, the next CBA should re-structure the season, such as eliminate 1 preseason game in favor of maybe a controlled scrimmage option vs a regional team (Buffalo and Cleveland did this a few times).  Extend the season back a week and cook in 2 bye weeks, and coordinate them to sync with Thursday and overseas games.

    Remember when declining ratings was a thing?


    The Monday night ratings surprise me. The broadcasters are atrocious.
    I bet the KC/Rams game is singlehandedly responsible for the rise in ratings for MNF this year.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Oh yeah...selfishly I love the Thursday night games.  But it's just so hypocritical of the league to force players to play in these games on short rest when they claim to be concerned about player safety.  They made the Bears play on Thanksgiving at 11:30am on the road after they had played on Sunday night.  Ridiculous.

    Two solid defenses and two teams who can control the clock...I don’t think it’s too crazy to think we might have two wild card teams in the AFC Championship game. Pulling for the Chargers...

    Decision to kick the FG was horrendous.

    Lots of Cowboys on the list of awful human beings. I’m no Ray Lewis or Ravens fan, but there aren’t a lot of teams that can say they are squeaky clean on the compromised values chart.

    Setting the bar at “murder” is surely low enough to allow most teams to pass the ethics test.
