Cowboys Vikings next week not like it's a bad matchup

Both teams playing their 3rd game in 12 days.

If you are so determined to have TNF what is so hard about having it correspond with bye weeks? This shyt is pure tone deaf hubris. Glad that bubble finally burst this year but it's gonna take a lot more to finally get through to these people.

He's 100% right. It's laughable the league can preach safety while sending guys out on Sunday night and then Thursday. And the games are trash because the teams are trash.

Get rid of it and focus more on making MNF memorable again. SNF is already good to great.

Also they need to be smarter about scheduling matches. Did anyone think the Bears would be good this year? Hell no. So why do they have so many prime time games?

Seems like the NFL just tries to get big markets on tv.
Just like the Jets getting two MNF and a SNF game.

Then on Thursday night they got these stupid ass "let's give every team a game" rules that lead to them force-feeding us Jags-Titans on a Thursday night "Primetime" game.

I agree. NFL needs to keep it up with SNF maybe tinker with flex scheduling a little. Improve MNF and stop force feeding big markets trying to get ratings off the city and not the quality of the game. Throw Thursday night fb into the :trash:

fukk all the fans who gassed up TNF. fukk all the coli posters down voting me for saying we should boycott for player safety. fukk everybody for not thinking through the repercussions of all these "improvements" Goodall has been making and just assumed making shyt harder makes it better.

Back the day ESPN would have premiere CFB matchups on Thursday. NFL fukked that up bc they don't wanna compete. I'm curious to see what happens bc they ignored the players and the fans but the Gawd has spoken. :ufdup:Goodell you better take heed

I must admit I don't look at the Thursday's games to be honest I always forget they are on unless the Bengals are playing.

TNF has made NFL games seem like flyover territory.

I, who love football, have almost no interest in watching those games. What it's also done is make it easy for me to ignore Sunday games

I found this shyt as well. The more I ignored TNF, the more easily I found it to ignore Sunday games(mostly the early ones because I'm on the West Coast and fukk waking up at 10am even I'm hungover just for shyt football).

When basketball starts back up TNF is basically used by me just to watch while their games go to commercial, but they rarely hold my attention enough to keep me on them.
