CBS to air first 8 Thursday night games


Cary Kollins

Recommended Posts

I like having an extra day per week to watch the NFL. Is there a legitimate argument against it that couldn't be used for Monday night too?

 

# of days between sunday and thursday vs. # of days between monday and sunday.

 

thursday makes for a very short week preparation-wise and limited rest between games which means lower quality ball.

 

sure, that means longer time to heal up and prepare for the next week, but still it doesn't make for good football on thursday.

Will NFLN keep the other 8 I assume?

 

If not nobody will watch that channel anymore.

 

 

They will keep the other 8, as well as simulcasting the CBS broadcast.  I think I read NFLN will have some of their "Thursday" games on Saturday as well.

 

 

Goodell is not bashful about making moves/money, I'll give him that.

 

 

edit:

CBS will air eight early-season games that also will be simulcast on NFL Network. NFL Network also will televise eight late-season games in the run-up to the playoffs. The mix of games will include 14 on Thursday nights and two late-season games on Saturday.

Hell yeah, I would rather watch it on NFLN anyway.

    • One of the worst teams, no first, bad HC, no QB, backup QB taking up a huge chunk of salary cap. Would hate to be them 
    • Was just thinking about it, and the game Bryce just had was probably the absolute worst thing that could have happened for our chances in this upcoming game. We beat the Packers for the same reason we lost to the Saints.  We didn't take the Saints seriously while looking ahead to the Falcons during the week and they took advantage of it, just as the Packers didn't take us seriously while looking ahead to the Eagles and we took advantage of it. Bryce having that game just now put the 49ers on full alert this week in practice, combined with a MNF game where they don't want to get embarrassed by losing to the Panthers on that stage, and I think we're getting their absolute best this week.  It also doesn't help that the 49ers next 2 games are the Browns and Titans, so they certainly aren't looking ahead in their schedule this week.
    • Tarheels pretty sloppy vs Navy tonight.  Duke gets Kansas with them missing maybe the player in college basketball.  Naturally
