More NFL on Thursdays?

I thought injuries are up since they started Thurs games

I think they should get rid of it

Has to be approved by the NFLPA. It'll never pass unless the NFL is willing to share quite a bit more of the pie.

assuming this is their alternative/agreement to not playing a 18 game season?

it's gonna happen gueye and long term its not smart

and this is silly

Potential buyers of the games would likely be national cable sports networks. But league officials have also considered selling the Thursday night package to a nontraditional media partner, including online players like Netflix Inc. or Google Inc.

I'd prefer one game Thursday and one game Friday.

Thursday night games are god awful. Just another example of the diluted product that is the NFL.

daneblazer · 10-16-13, 08:54 AM

Dont like it. Friday won't happen. Take two west coast teams make a few more Monday night double header

why ? Hell i think they should add Wednesday and Friday night football.

the games are usually sloppy and not well executed on thurs......but if the NFL is on, the country watches

and NFL cant play on fridays because then no one would watch friday night high school football. Same reason they dont play on saturdays
Schools would just get mad and make the nfl look bad because their games would empty, and they would get no national media attention.

If a game was on at 3 am between Jacksonville and Buffalo.....I would watch and it would still have a higher rating than the World Series.

Thursdays are stupid. Only Thursday games should be two traditional Thanksgiving games. Lions/Cowpukes.

lakerboy · 10-16-13, 10:57 AM

Nfl should only be on sundays and mon night

pavyracer · 10-16-13, 11:16 AM

Teams that are coming off byes need to play on Thursdays. 10 days of no football is enough. No need for 14 days between games.

ThaTopMoron · 10-16-13, 11:55 AM

sweet, more games with teams who have had less time to practice and prep for an opponent! more ugly, lower scoring... sloppy games!!!

This is actually a pretty good idea

There are what...7 or 8 bye weeks so you can have that many Thursday games

That's plenty

opie1988 · 10-16-13, 12:35 PM

Like I said in my earlier post here.....this ain't happening.

Go look at the link and read the latest update from the NFL.

Drinker.....always listen to me. Very, very little I don't know.

InTheDrink · 10-16-13, 12:38 PM

Unrale

Opie tell me the truth

Opie did you make a call with jerry to the nfl offices about this

FreeFall · 10-16-13, 04:28 PM

Hello injuries!

TexasJayhawk · 10-17-13, 09:28 PM

It's most likely not going to happen. What will probably end up happening is the NFL Network will sell 5-6 of their games to the highest bidder. They can't sell all (assuming 15 or 16) games because of prior agreements/fees with cable/satellite companies.

I do think London and/or Mexico City will have an NFL team by 2020 though...

ksnooksk · 10-17-13, 09:36 PM

I'd be in favor of a few Monday night doubleheaders occasionally.
