How do you feel about Thursday Night Football?

[Bocephus86]

Hate it. I haven't watched a TNF game that doesn't involve the Pats in a few years at this point; I just pretend it doesn't exist and try to remember if I have anyone impacted in Fantasy on Wednesday.

The football is bad enough usually, then add in those frugly color rush unis. The former is a figurative pain to watch, the latter, literally!

 

[bleedblue1223]

The games suck, but it's good background noise when I'm doing stuff around the house.

Some of those color rush uniforms are fire, though.

The Broncos, Rams, Chiefs, Eagles, Chargers, Panthers, Patriots, Giants, Vikings and Steelers all look great

The Browns color rush were so well received it's now their primary jersey. The Seahawks while bright as hell, i liked just for the sheer lack of green uniforms. Really vibes with the whole "Emerald City" thing too.

I'm guilty of watching, but yeah... actively dislike it. Product is almost always worse and I hate it when the Bears are stuck playing on a Thursday.

Just kill Thursday and have two MNF games every week.

 

[TheAngryHank]

I want to like. I really do. A game to hold me over till Sunday? Hell yeah.

It just feels like the games routinely stink.

Sums up my feelings.

I feel like the solution is simple for Thursday games to be better. Expand to two bye weeks, and have the Thursday teams have a bye the week before their game. Push the season back a week, and have the big game the day before President's Day.

Or make TNF after week 8

Problem with that is you have games spilling into times where it's not favorable to watch for people. The early game in a feasible MNF doubleheader would start at like 4:30 on the West coast and the backend of the doubleheader starting at 10:30 on the East coast.

Personally i'd rather either do away with the Thursday nighters sans the big traditional ones (so opening night/US Thanksgiving) or alternatively, move the games to Saturday night. Gives the players at least a bit more time to re-cooperate if you absolutely need to have games on not sunday/monday

They actually can't run Saturdays. Or Fridays. See the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961:

Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 - Wikipedia

Combination of antitrust laws and competition with college football. The NFL cannot run a game and/or broadcast within 75 miles of a high school or college (read: game) before the end of their seasons

 

[Blitzkrug]

Huh, TIL.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Great camera angles.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Poor quality games. Increased chance of injuries and concussions.

TNF actually was after week 8 from 2008-2011

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

I love the fact that there is a game on however I'll only watch if I find the matchup interesting.
I'll be honest, I did not watch a second of last's night game!

 

[justafan22]

that's what I meant.

The TV deal will make it hard for that to happen, but they have to make the season 18 weeks and give each team 2 bye weeks if they want TNF to occr in the future.

 

[YEM]

I'm not sure if it's the Thursday night that leads to the bad games, or the consistent stinky matchups naturally lend themselves to crappy games. They don't even seem to try to put "good" games anywhere near Thursday evenings.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I always forget it's even on. So I don't like it. Just not thinking about football on Thursday night.

 

[Pestilence]

I'm fine with it, if I got time it's more football to watch, if it's just another Bucs Panthers game on Sunday then I wouldn't watch it other than some red zone highlights

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I'd like to see TNF killed and have Monday Night double headers every week instead
