whats up with all the thursday games?

htownskinfan · 11-22-2007, 03:13 PM

starting today we have 5 straight weeks of football games on thursday nights,including the skins in 2 weeks.I know weve had thursday games before but i dont remember this many,am i wrong? I'm not a big fan of them,I think it sucks for the road team to have to travel after a sunday game.Even Aikman in last weeks game said the league needs to make a rule that for home teams playing on thursday need to have a road game the week prior,but thankfully for us this yr we are home for the thursday game and the week prior,if it was the other way around that would really suck

I can't get enough football, so I have no problem with thursday games.

How about some Tuesday night football?

I agree with you except for the scenario where were getting screwed by being the road team

dmek25 · 11-22-2007, 04:07 PM

its all about the money. and the NFL network. and im with jsarno, i cant get enough

I'm with jsarno and dmek on this one, I like these thursday night games. Hell, if they had games every day of the week i'd watch them if i wasn't busy.

Thursday night football is great but watching Dallas win again sux out loud.

The problem with adding too many different nights or making teams prepare on a short week is typically when you have 2ish less days to prepare, the product isn't as good.

I agree. Another downside is injuries and after game soreness.

thats what I'm saying,its great for the fans but its too hard on a team,especially the road team,if the skins had played on the road and then had to play a thursday nite game on the road we'd be screaming bloody frickin murder! and as long as the nfl keeps this shit up it will eventually screw us,I'm all for the thanksgiving games but this is too much,it seems like every yr for a long time weve either gotten a thursday game or a sat game so you know the schedule makers will eventually screw us

Yeah, I stopped watching.
I swear, if the Cowpatties and the Patriots make the super bowl, I will not watch it. I have not missed an SB since birth!

ha! I dont believe it,youll watch because youll want to see the cowboys get their ass kicked!!

I for one love the Thursday night games. Especially since the college football season is starting to come to a close so I won't get to watch the ACC games on ESPN.

As for the SB, if we don't win I would love to see the Packers win it.

dblanch66 · 11-23-2007, 11:19 AM

I don't like the thursday night game solely because I do not get the NFL network due to my lame-ass cable provider. I'll be missing the Redskin game in 2 weeks and that chaps my ass.

Even thoe Time Warner wont get the NFL Net alot of people are still upset.I so glad I have the Dreict TV and the Sunday Ticket.
