whats up with all the thursday games?

[htownskinfan]

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
