I guess my point is crappy teams shouldnt get prime time games and Thursday nights enables this.

Agree 100% on that! The NFL is a ratings juggernaut though. If the ratings sucked for Jags-Bengals then they wouldn't put a game like that on. But it'll still rate well. I suppose it must be good if you're a fan of a shitty small city team to get a prime time game but it does suck for the rest of the country!

I kinda look at this way, what else is there to watch? Not much... unless you're a pretty big fan of baseball, football really is the only choice on Thursday night.

And plus, we, the fans, get to see an extra game. We only get 3 games on Sunday afternoon to choose from, unless you buy NFL Sunday Ticket. Which is like what... $300 bucks?? then we get Sunday night game and Monday night game. Seriously, we should get more choices on Sunday.

And to be fair, the Thursday night games have been pretty damn good so far this season. In fact, that Giants and FT game was one of the best games of the entire season, Cowboys/Bucs was very good too. But yeah, last week's game (texans/panthers) did kinda suck though but only because Tyrod Taylor was hurt.

If you look at the schedule, it's not too bad for the rest of the season -

Rams/Seahawks

Bucs/Eagles

Broncos/Browns

Packers/Cardinals

Jets/Colts (lol... not very good)

Ravens/Dolphins

Pats/Falcons (another questionable matchup)

Bears/Lions - Raiders/Cowboys - Bills/Saints (thanksgiving day)

Cowboys/Saints

Steelers/Vikings

Chiefs/Chargers

9ers/Titans

Not sure what you guys are complaining about? Other than a few, it looks pretty good for most of the season.
