More proof NFL hate their fans

Oh boy another way for them to absolutely screw teams.

Isn’t this how it worked when TNF first started?

I’m sure I remember it didn’t start until the week after thanksgiving and they were always flexed games.

My memory could be wrong though.

I’m for and against it. Sure they can screw some teams, but I also don’t want to see hot garbage Thursday night games anymore

The NFL doesn't want a late season "Indy vs Denver 12-9 game" where the announcers/fans question why they spent 3 hours on bad football.

Even the good teams are trash on TNF.

The most entertaining game I watched last year was Colts vs Broncos on TNF. Twitter was on fire and it was amazingly amusing. Then RW leads the team down the field in overtime and threw one of the worst interceptions I’ve ever seen.

This has less to do with the League and more to do with Amazon not wanting to get stuck with a D- matchup.

Yes it seems like only one of the teams come to play, but I would rather see at least good teams on paper despite it being a lopsided affair.

I wish the NFL would get rid of Thursday night games for a Sunday morning primetime game. Just do 10am EST like the Euro games but every week. This keeps the solo game format, protects player safety, and ensures competitive/quality balance.

So since we already have 2, assuming we can't be flexed for another one?

I listened to an entire interview from someone in the league FO about this a couple weeks ago. It’s more about the option to flex out of a garbage matchup later in the season once we find put who's who in the league since it can change year to year due to performance and injuries.

TNF was never a good idea.

 

[BayouSAINTJoe]

Maybe they'll flex important games off Thursday night through those weeks. I wouldn't mind a Chicago - Detroit TNF game if that means that a KC-Buf or something gets moved to sunday. I hate it when they take potentially good matchups and shove them into a TNF cluster

Sounds like the Saints were one of the teams to seal the vote. Profootball Talk Saints and Commanders change their votes

Our second game can get flexed out of TNF with the Rams.
