In the wake of the new Thursday Night deal, it makes sense to cover the obvious.
Thursday Night Football sucks and too many teams are losing key players because of Thursday Night Football.
The Seahawks need to just start to concede Thursdays.
Play only the backups and do it in a highly visible manner.
The cost is the loss of one game. It could easily be argued that the injury toll from Thursday Night football can cost multiple games so I consider it fair game to consider.
Last year I believe we lost Sherman and we lost Kam. Other teams have lost people too on their Thursday Night games.
I do not think the potential loss of one game would hurt that much, and I think it would make a huge splash if teams started to refuse to play starters because of the increased risk of injury.
Whatever weird aversion someone might have to literally escorting the other team to the end zone, the fact remains that several teams have had significant injuries where impact far beyond Thursdays have been felt. And the football itself is crappy anyway, it would probably be more entertaining to just watch a team do a 'parting of the Red Sea' and let the other team score repeatedly.
Not sure it would break any rules, but it would be tremendously entertaining to watch the aftermath.
