Burrow & Andrews both done for the year.

Teams only play TNF after a bye. Easy solution.

Burrows' hand was already hurt before that game.

are you implying that players do not get hurt at the same rate on Sundays and Mondays?

do you have empirical evidence asserting your opinion?

probably not.

Sit the star players like the NBA. Clearly you have an issue with injuries & the fact that players bodies can’t adjust on 3 days. No one will miss Atlanta vs Carolina anyway.

As much as I love football (especially the NFL), I don't want to see TNF simply because it's way too much overkill and oversaturation as it is! We don't need pigskin action every day of the week, 24/7! ditto for the collegiate ranks! Do we really need to see garbage "MACACTION" on Tuesday and Wednesday nights? but here again, we all the know the bottom line...it's all about the ratings, tv revenue, and money!

Yeah but that means no TNF after week 1 until the first bye and the NFL won't go that way

They don’t give a damn about player health or safety. Money money money.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 11-19-23, 10:34 AM

They make enough money to suck it up and get after it on short rest.

Play every single game each week at the same time on Thursday night. Simple solution

Open the year with two TNF games, just like they've done with MNF. That takes care of week 2. Then start the byes earlier than week 5. Then after Thanksgiving replace Thursday with Saturday since there is no college to compete with (there used to be Saturday games in December). Only lose like two standalone primetime games. Seems like a great tradeoff for never having any teams play on that short of a week ever again.

Or just go to two byes and a 19 week schedule. That would also allow the league to add as many foreign games as they want.

If the Bengals sat out Joe Burrow, would they have been fined? Kyle Shanahan said TNF is a shitshow (he used the word something show, but we know what he meant)
