Again with a Sunday night game before Thanksgiving

[CowboysFaninHouston]

this happened a few years ago, when we had a road sunday night game against giants. then a thanksgiving game. the team just didn't have any energy and we lost on thanksgiving. now, again a sunday night game. I understand its at home, but still a 1:00PM game vs. an 8:00PM game. you lose almost a day of preparation. and the players having to turn around in 4 days and play again....

Jerry Jones just went on the air this week telling us that Thursday games are no big deal

 

[cowboyblue22]

according to jerry its no big deal

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Hate this. But it is what it is.

At least the chargers play at 4 and then have to travel.

So I guess it evens out somewhat.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Just like the late afternoon games at the stadium when the sun is in the players eyes looking back for the ball....no big deal to Jerry!!

America's Team on full display. It's all about the TV ratings. Even if the league and it's refs hate us.

 

[Proximo]

The last couple years they've also given us consecutive Thursday games.

It is what it is.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

The NFL needs the ratings so they have us on primetime. That's why we're America's team.

 

[DallasDomination]

I hate late games because I waste all day watching football...

I would rather it be an early game. Get the emotions out of the way early and enjoy the day or get upset early enough to get over it by mid day.

Chargers have a 3pm game today and have to travel from LA, what's the big deal?

Agree. Goodell trying to destroy JJ, but needs cowboys brand to prop us TV ratings....

Other teams have complained for years, as as Aikamnin in retirement, that Dallas has an unfair advantage hosting this game. Of course, it is meaningless if we lose it, as we have done before.

But we still have an advantage over the Bolts.

And then, instead of 10 days off, we get the usual 7 by playing on a Thursday night against the Skins.

Those dastardly schedule makers!

Skins are playing on Thanksgiving too, then have to travel to Dallas to play 7 days later.

We've got three games in 10 days, but they're all at home. That stretch will go a long way to defining the season.

its not about Thursday game. its about timing of the game the week before.

This is a terrible idea. When you have to play on the first Thursday, you usually get ten days off the recuperate. To have to play another game in a week is not healthy for the team at all. It's no wonder we usually enter December with a totally banged up roster.

Yea, three games in 12 days is no bueno

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

If this team is that soft that a Sunday PM home game affects their Thursday game, they deserve to lose. Besides, you really think Garrett can do anything with an extra 7 hours?

This one needs to be primetime.

And the Thursday after thanksgiving as well
