No Thursday Game (1 Viewer)

From a fantasy perspective, I'm happy to not have it. I don't like to have to sit around for 3 days after the first game to be upset about a bad start or be happy about a good start and watch it all piss away on Sunday. From a football perspective, I'll definitely miss it. Thursday nights are the beginning to my weekend and nothing better than sitting down with a beer and watching football.

Yes. Also, they haven't been annoying at all. A minor inconvenience, at best, and that's only if you have a Sunday/Monday player that's questionable and your best option for a replacement goes Thursday. I don't think that happened to me more than once or twice across 6 leagues this year.
More chances to watch games is a good thing.

It's not missed during FF playoffs. Imagine the anxiety on the board if there was TNF this week.
I personally think week 15 is more critical to FF than week 16 - at least in a standard setup.

While I do enjoy watching more football, the quality of games on TNF are usually pretty terrible.

Why did they discontinue the Saturday games the last two weeks of the year?

Agreed. Most leagues pay out 1st and 2nd place. I was more nervous last week then I am this week. I'm winning money no matter what.

Agree. Its not that TNF is horrible in idea, just the quality of materials they toss out there. You always get the "Tennessee vs. Cleveland game" it seems.
If I am being honest with myself, if I did not play ff, I would probably watch about 2...maybe 3 games a year on TNF (the opener, the game where my favorit team plays its game on TNF, and then there is always one that sneaks up as being a good one).

No Thursday game is awesome. I could do without the SNF and MNF game too. Put all the games on Sunday during the day, sit back and enjoy Sunday Ticket or whatever and for those itching for more, subscribe to that package NFL offers to watch past games.
Our fantasy games wouldn't have stupid intermissions. We could have that much more time with the family.

well, unlike other primetime games I think they try to get different teams every week to showcase that team and that city, so there are most likely a lot more teams you don't care to see than teams you're interested in.
if you hate thursday night football you hate america

Don't miss it at all. I do like SNF and MNF though
That and you can't give the "elite" teams short weeks all the time - doesn't work in the NFL.
Even if they could, it's almost impossible outside a handful of teams to predict who will be good. Before the start of the season, would anyone guess, for example, a Miami KC Thurs game would have more playoff implications than Atlanta Houston.
I would be more interested in an extra night game if it were on Tuesday. People are more likely to watch for fantasy purposes even if its a bad matchup and it gives the players an extra day rest on short week.
