Other than not having the NFL Network, I don't get why people b*tch about Thursday games. Hey, it's more football to watch.

^damn beast mode. I actually dont have the NFL network anymore, but the match ups never seem intriguing or the games good. Mayock is great. Looking forward to CBS, but would love the game on Friday night. What a great way to start the weekend.

Friday nights are ratings hell.

It's a big night out for most people.

I'm fine with Thursday games but I wish they would only be after the bye weeks start and both teams coming off of byes. Heard lots of former players say the turnaround time is just too short between Sunday and Thursday to play another game.

The NFL will NOT compete with high schools and colleges on football. They've stated as much and it's the right move. This will not change.

Yeah that the main arguement Ive heard. Right move? thats up for debate. Either way, thursday night games have been flat out garbage.

I wonder if moving to CBS will mean better match ups. We'll see.

Good to see these guys are trying to get on the same page. Looking at Garcon's body language and listening to some of his quotes, these two obviously had issues last year. However this pitch and catch stuff is common around the league.

Makes sense.

I haven't heard this idea, it's just floating around in my head.
If they were to add a 7th team from each conference for the playoffs, what if the first weekend kicked off with 2 play in games Thursday between the 4th seed (lowest division winner) and the 7th seed. Then Sat/Sun would be the 2nd vs 6 and 3rd vs 5th.

This year that would have resulted in:
Thursday:
(7)Ariz [10-6] at (4)GB [8-7-1]
(7)Pitt[8-8] at (4)Indy[11-5]

Sat/Sun
(6)SD@(2)NE
(5)KC@(3)Cin.
(6)NO@(2)Car
(5)SF@(3)Phi

There probably would be some question over the Thursday night Starts, but if CBS did and Early, say 630, and NFLN did 930, like the first Monday Night game of the season now, I think it would work.

Like I said, I haven't seen it out there, but if they go with 7 teams, the Thursday game would let the teams answer the question of a bad division winner or the next best record.
