I may be mistaken, but doesn't Amazon have the Thursday night contract for the next several years

Don’t know how long the contract is but they’re on Amazon. They re-broadcast the games on NFL Network about an hour or so after the game ends. I only watched a few of them including the Cowboys against Tennessee.

I like the TNF games. It is another night of football. Much better than other crap on TV.

I do not like the idea of flexing the games though. This is purely for ratings, and does not consider the fans and plans to attend games, especially if an away game.
Some fans plan vacations to attend games. And now they can't when the flex schedule kicks in.
It will force more home town fans to attend though. Jerry may be behind this, so Dallas fans won't resale tickets to possible opposing fans. :muttley:

I actually don't hate it from a player standpoint. If I'm a player I actually like the Thursday games teams typically give guys an extra day off during the "mini bye".

Where I really hate it is from the fans standpoint. It's one thing to move a game from a mid day spot to a sunday night spot, although even that isn't ideal. If I buy tickets in advance though and now all of a sudden I have to completely change the day and probably take a day off work to accommodate a Thursday game I would be pretty disappointed.

I don't have Amazon. I watch the games that I care about on the NFL Network. Unless the Cowboys play I really don't care that much.

why can't we have a game every night? lol, more money for the owners. Heck go to a 30-game season, and let them have one month off.

The solution to Thursday night games being awful, is to just get rid of it altogether.

I hate it, and am willing to bet most NFL fans don't really care for it either.
