Worse "Quality of Product": Thursday Football or Pro Bowl (1 Viewer)

[Sarnoff]

Most offenses on short rest are cover-your-eyes awful on Thursday night.Discuss.

Thursday night football.

When a thursday night game is played you can likely assume it will be an offensive suckfest for most players involved. I dread starting anyone on a thursday night game.

Ridiculous poll.

And yet the weeknight college games can be high scoring.

Oh, come on. TNF games have been lousy, but worse than the Pro Bowl??? Please. I'd rather watch the Chiefs and Browns play to a 3-3 tie than watch five minutes of the Pro Bowl.

The last Pro Bowl I watched probably was Csonka, Franco and O.J. against Brockington, Foreman and Metcalf.

I like this poll. The Thursday night games have been a trainwreck. As someone who eagerly looks forward to each week's games, I kind of let out a sigh when it is time for Thursday night matchup.

I've heard theories on rest and gameplanning, but to me it looks like often there is just a lack of execution. I think there has probably been one decent Thursday night game this year otherwise they have been

However, they aren't as bad as the pro bowls. Can't remember the last time I watched one.

Terrible, terrible poll.

Many teams have played poorly on TNF, but some of the games have been decent entertainment. The pro bowl has been a complete joke for over a decade. It's really not even close, IMHO.

I would rather watch the Puppy Bowl than either TNF or the Pro Bowl.

I try to avoid playing players on Thursday nights. I benched Graham. Thursday nights stink. But Pro Bowls are worse. I play better football in my backyard in my family's Turkey Bowl.

Definitely Thursday games because teams are supposed to be playing hard.

I used to love TNF..not so much anymore.

TNF should be a novelty. 2-3 times a season.

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

There is not nearly enough data to support after one year that TNF has a huge effect on offenses vs defense.

Last time I checked the defense has as little amount of time to prepare for the offense they are facing.

Football is a different animal than most sports hence why they only play once a week. But these guys are professionals who get paid a lot of money and have been doing it their whole lives. If you can't have a good performance when you have a game on sunday and then have monday, tuesday and wednesday to prepare for a thursday game then take up something else.

I don't mind the thursday night games. It is another day of football.
