The only way I'd be on board with TNF is if it's after a bye for both teams. Which would limit its run to the middle of the season.

The owners won't go for it, though.

I get what you're saying, but having TNF even after 2 teams have bye weeks is a crappy deal for both teams. Obviously the NFL has bye weeks largely just to extend the seasons an extra week, but they are also supposed to give teams a break/chance to rest up some injuries near mid-season. Cutting the players' time off short by 3 days somewhat defeats the purpose of the bye weeks for that reason.

In short, TNF just sucks all the way around other than the Thanksgiving games. I enjoy the NFL, but not enough to go out of my way up to 3 days per week to watch it. I never bother with TNF unless the Vikings are playing or in passing if it's on while I'm lifting at the gym.

Latest I read is that they are looking to speed up the games, and that Dallas will play the rams or chargers. It's either watch a boring blowout-worthy game or one that will be close because of Phillip Rivers and I cannot see him getting blown out by Prescott, not with Allen back(if healthy this time).

Hope they dump the color rush idea.
This.
Also, don't take TNF away. It's just one more thing to do. Whomever decides not to watch, well so be it; who cares if you watch it or not? And save the shorter-week-more-injury-speculation stuff. There is no proof of that.

I'll watch TNF if two good teams are playing. Since every team plays a game or two on TNF, they should make the unis throwbacks. I think that would be cool.

I'd prefer it to be Friday instead of Thursday.

Saturday night football would be better except for Thanksgiving.

The entire State of Texas is looking for you as of right now...

Better take the trigger lock off and put it on the nightstand....

Be advised, every Texas Ranger (at least the one's I have met) carries a 1911 with either seven or eight shot magazine...you can probably wait them out....

Do you think they can draw it from their purses fast enough?

If they air it I will watch.

Simple as that.

Likely not live, but I will watch.

Not good for players.

Big money grab.

Simple as that.

But I will watch.

Recorded.

If they spread out the bye weeks better and schedule teams to play on Thursdays that had byes the week before then the product would be better plus you'd end up with mostly divisional games which are more fun and more important anyway

This would definitely be a good idea.

They already took a step towards doing this, when they made the Thursday game after Thanksgiving between two teams who play on Turkey day.
