December 13, 20169 yr Richard Sherman on Thursday night games: "Poopfest, it's terrible. We got home like 1 o'clock in the morning, something like that on Monday, and then you've got to play again. Congratulations, NFL, you did it again. But they've been doing it all season, so I guess we're the last ones to get the middle finger."
December 14, 20169 yr Seattle always leads the league in frequent flyer mileage. Scheduling them three days after traveling 5,200 miles is a terrible decision.
December 14, 20169 yr Did you hear one of the reporters ask if he said "hoop fest"? Dude I was in tears :lol2:
December 14, 20169 yr The product on Thursday nights is rarely good, but as long as people keep watching, they'll continue to have games.
December 14, 20169 yr The tv deal for Thursday games runs for another season, then after that the league is said to be weighing other options. I know people love to cite "declining ratings", but the reality is the ratings are still top shelf, not in the gutter. The all mighty dollar generally wins. If this is an issue the players are genuinely concerned about, I hope they do something about it next go-around at the negotiation table.

If they want to keep Thursday night games, the answer is easy (in my opinion). Schedule Thursday night games ONLY for teams coming off a bye week. Problem pretty much solved.

December 15, 20169 yr I love NFL but rarely watch the Thursday games unless its Thanksgiving of course.. Would rather them go back to old days that when college ended there were always a couple of games on Saturdays....

December 15, 20169 yr Probably hard to do when you are already doing the same for London teams. You actually kind of prove my point...they already do it for teams traveling to London, so they can absolutely do it for Thursday night matchups too. Sure it adds a layer of difficulty for the schedulers, but it's not like it CAN'T be done. And it probably greatly improves the quality of the football as well.
