Expanding it would ruin it Don't need the Thursday one either. But if they're gung ho about it and potentially expanding it (hence the flex announcement), they at least need to institute extra bye(s) so teams never have to play on 4-days rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a huge gray area between the places where only parents go to HS games and those Texas towns where everybody goes. Those are the areas that will be impacted. But, I mean, if you don't really care about them so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the areas that will be impacted. Will they? If those Texas towns love HS football that much, they'll choose HS Football over some Texans game, surely. 6 hours ago, SackExchangeNYJ said: But, I mean, if you don't really care about them so be it. I really, truly don't. With that said, as noted in my first reply, I do not support NFL football on any day but Sundays personally, so while I may not care about them, our desires, perhaps, are in alignment.

Teams will go Full Popovich on this and start playing their backups on Thursdays, as they should. Those games are horrible anyway. Hell, they should roll out the practice squads for the Euro games, too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday night usually sucks. Adding Tuesday will be more crap. Friday is for HS football, which is a big deal in the south and southwest. Saturday is for college, and the NFL is stupid to compete with that. Having lived in the Northeast my whole life, "Friday is for HS football" absolutely blows my mind. I grew up on L.I. we did good enough one year to have a game of Hoffstra. Even then, it was MAYBE half full. I had .5 sacks in that game, it was really a whole one. I was robbed. Highlight of my football career ? 1 sack (.5), 1 game. *insert Al Bundy gif* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I’m trying to figure out where it says the NFL Potentially Looking To Have Games 7 Nights A Week. I only hear that Florio would love to see it in his lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunnie Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) I am conflicted ... Being a traditionalist ... I have always wanted Football ONLY on Sundays and Mon Night. It made Sunday unique AND made Primetime truly special. But since the advent of Thursday night crapfest I have become more amenable to the idea of nightly games. The NFL wants the Fantasy Football/Gambling crowd to be able to watch their rosters. Honestly ... nostalgia left the building with Draft Kings. So i really have become apathetic toward all of this.

Bugg Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Only way that works is if you coordinate it within 17 games over 19 weeks, 2 byes, and extend the season to President's Day weekend so day after the Super Bowl is a national holiday anyway. They've wanted to do that forever anyway. And require NOBODY plays 2 games within 5 days. Been too many Thursday games that were ragged because the players didn't have sufficient recovery time.
