They need to kill off this Thursday night game garbage because these games are dreadful.
The football so far this year has been bad. It's no wonder that ratings are down. If anything, they need a longer TC to compensate for no hitting, one fewer preseason game, and double-bye weeks with no Thursday night games except for Thanksgiving weekend.
The quality of football is crap on this schedule.
I like the idea behind Thursday night football, but the games are hard to watch, its obvious that NFL teams need time to rest and prepare for the next opponent. If the NFL wanted good matchups, they would make two teams coming off of a bye week play against each other on Thursday nights. I would guess that the NFLPA would have issue with it. In the next contract negotiation, the NFLPA should suggest this as an olive branch, then ask for an expanded roster and increase to the 46 max limit that are allowed to suit up for a game. Increase that to 50 and increase the max 53 man roster to 60. Might cost an NFL team 1 million a year (cap would have to go up) but would make the games much better.
