He's not wrong. But "what they're thinking about" is very obvious. Viewer ratings.

Clearly.

Either they're so out of touch with everyday fans and their concerns that they don't understand the consequences of things like this or they just don't give a sh-t.

(probably the latter)

Used to be like this, no more.

Can't afford the time drain, that said, this is going to lessen the product, and cause more injuries....again, it would be a hard NO from me.

If you're somebody who just watches at home, this doesn't hurt you.

The fans who actually go to the games? Yeah, they get hurt.

This is something that should be obvious to anybody with a brain.

And yet most NFL owners either seem to not know about it or not care enough about it to weigh it into their consideration.

Kudos to Mara at least for thinking of the fans. 

The brains focusing on this are not concerned about 70 thousand people in the stands. They are concentrating on how to get more than 7 million (my guess probably wrong) TV's to watch it.  I think the Thursday product is bad and they will do/try anything they can to improve it.

Not for it or against it, but I get the calculus. Piss off the minority of fans that go to games (who can just sell their tickets) and get millions of more viewers for these streamed games OR lose out on millions of more tv viewers to please 40,000 in-person viewers?

The bigger issue for me is fair competition when some team gets more Thur nights games than others.

I Googles it- flexing only pertains to week 14-17. Just don't schedule those games until week 12.

Exactly. There are millions of fans that watch the game. The handful of fans who are flying in for games that are inconvenienced pales in comparison to having good games that most fans will tune in for over Arizona versus Oakland when both teams are already eliminated.

Most people that attend games aren’t flying for games anyway. I’m kind of surprised by most of the responses in here that wouldn’t rather have a solid game on Thursday night.

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
