If I said it once, I’ve said it a dozen times, the Thursday Night games scheduling is horrendous. There is NFW the safety of the players is the primary concern of either the League or the NFLPA when they allow only a 3-day turnaround. Players have barely recovered from their Sunday game to be physically and mentally ready for another in that short time.
Iirc, years ago when the NFL started doing the TNF games, both teams usually played after their bye week. This way, they were both fresh and could install a proper game plan. I think the match-ups were usually division games too. But, this limited the number of games since they wouldn’t start till Week 5 and ended by Week 13. The move to having a Thursday game from Week 1 to the 2nd-to-last week meant more games which equated to more money…and money is what it’s all about.
