So the NFL is supposed to know ahead of time that all these teams on the losing side of TNF would have had injured or suspended players?

I agree that the games are a big inconvenience for the teams. But some of the these blowouts took place due to unforeseen circumstances (injuries, suspended players, etc., etc.). The first two games were pretty competitive games. And coming up there are some evenly matched team on the docket.
