Seattle seems like they're quite prepared for this game. It's almost like good football teams can prepare just fine on 3 days rest.

If there are 8 other games on and Baltimore is one of them you can't tell me you'd sit there watching Seattle @ Arizona. It sucks that you don't have NFL Network... but more people don't have Sunday Ticket. Which means that if there were no Thursday night game, even more people wouldn't be able to watch that specific game. So it's good for people who enjoy watching football and wanna see as many games live as possible. Plus it's kinda big business for the NFL.

I flip between games every Sunday. I hate that there's only one 4 pm game usually.

Embarrassingly loud from a stadium that's about 60% Seattle. Jesus.

lol. I love how you get called out on ridiculous shit by me and a bunch of other people in a wrestling discussion and now you just jump to getting defensive on discussions we have here to try to save face. Grow the fuck up.

The NFL's problem is expecting Sunday-like ratings for the Thursday games when that's not possible at all right now. The Chiefs-Eagles game broke the all-time record for the Network but wasn't close to what the NFL averaged that week for the CBS and Fox tv games.

I think it's telling that a random early season Chiefs-Eagles game is the highest rated show in the network's history now though. The highest rated game before I think was the Cowboys @ Saints game a few years ago where the Saints came in undefeated. Now that they've expanded the schedule, it's a big selling point. People are just watching random games now because it's the only football available at the time.

Its just pretty ridiculous to blow off the complaints of a lot of fans, act like you are right, refuse to discuss it, then say you wished there was "real discussion" or whatever.
But then again you sre a ridiculous person so, its not surprising. |

Tell me more about how you didn't read any of this page and a half where I discussed why I think Thursday Night games are a good thing and decided to give your thoughts about how I've refused to discuss it anyway, Kris P Lettus.

Lol I'm not a real person because I called you on exactly what you do when faced with a differing opinion.
More often than not, the Thursday games are sloppy, one-sided, or both. You can't deny that. The first half of one game is decent and you're ready to say "I told you so" those who disagree with you. Sure the ratings were up for a few games, but how long can that last if the games are consistently terrible? |

It will last. Because it's NFL Network. And an actual live NFL game, even if it's between the shittiest teams that no one would go out of their way to watch if there are other football options available, has WAY more value in the ratings than whatever random NFL Films reruns they'd be running for 4 hours. And as far as quality, it's not just one decent first half. Let's not pretend there hasn't been quite a few great Thursday Night games over the years.

Who is talking about the past few years? The discussion is about games every Thursday THIS year, and aside from half of this game they have all been horrendous.

Is it just about this year? I could have swore this all started with comments about how Thursday Night games in general are an awful idea.

The Monday night games have been pretty boring for the most part this year too. Should they stop having Monday night games, too?

One of the points brought up was that THIS year, the games have been shit, in addition to short rest being a factor. Being only the second year Thursday games have gone on all year, what would the last few years have to do with it?

I have no problem with the Thanksgiving and kickoff Thursday games. But all year is a bit much. And again, the fact that the games have been awful for the most part doesn't help. I'd rather watch NFL films than Bills-Browns, for example.

The entire point I was making was Thursday night games... in general... are a great idea.
You wanna draw me into this sub-argument about the quality of this year's games. I don't care. I can make the same claim for Monday night games. Shitty games happen. It doesn't make having games on those nights a bad thing. I'm not arguing how good this years games have been no matter how bad you wanna shift things that direction. My entire point is that Thursday night games are good. In general. For everyone. You get another night of football as a fan, the NFL CLEARLY benefits from it in the ratings department... What is the issue here? That the rate of quality games is low? I've got news for you... the rate of quality games overall is pretty fucking low. You take one of those games and you put them on another night. More time for football. Seriously... what's the problem? |

You're definitely in the minority here. I can prove that with the simple fact that I'm pretty sure more people watched Bills-Browns than any NFL films show ever shown on NFL Network. I don't think I really NEED to do the research on that... but I could...

And my entire point to start, which you are conveniently ignoring, is that when EVERY GAME on Thursday has been utter shit, it's not fun to watch. I'm not talking ratings at all. I'm not sure why you went there when this was really about game quality in the first place (referring to RDD's comment about players looking sluggish on short rest).

The problem is you missed the original point of the discussion and added your own bit about ratings to try to "win" the discussion.

Is that it? Is that really your entire point? That every Thursday night game this year has been utter shit? Awesome. I agree. Moving on...
As a football fan, I'd rather have the option to watch a football game on a Thursday, shitty or not, than not have that option. As would a shitload of other people. As is clear by the fact that the ratings are quite high. So yes, Thursday Night games are a good idea. Even outside Thanksgiving. Turns out football players are capable of playing football on other Thursdays so... they have taken advantage of it. |

Lol you win again by side-stepping the topic. No one mentioned ratings except you. Why? Because as a fan, why the fuck should I care about ratings? They have no impact on whether or not I watch, no matter what day it is. If the game is shit, I stop watching. A main point at the beginning WAS game quality (and player health) as why we dislike Thursday games.
You conveniently glossed over those to talk about ratings. Point for you! |

Because it shows that a shitload of other fans enjoy watching the game and maybe your opinion does not represent that of all football fans who seem to think it's a fine idea. You dumb fuck.
