As a Colts fan I am pretty pumped for their TNF game even if it is against the Jags

I'm beginning to think that the NFL created Thursday Night Football to test the limits of how much terrible football fans will watch.

Pretty much. What makes it worse is that they aren't even making money off it...last I checked, NFL Network was in the red year to year. Either way, its certainly not making billions for them like their SNF and MNF packages are.

Of course, if someone was paying that much to air a game Thursday night, they wouldn't accept this game as an option

[Genuma]

lol Chiefs.

[blimpcityhero11]

I'll say it: This Chiefs season is significantly less entertaining without mht around.

You get tired and unprepared teams too. I'd like to see them get rid of them all together. Keep the Lions and Cowboys playing on Thanksgiving and that is it.

their first matchup this season was close. our defense is more equipped to stop Andrew Luck but he's also had some more time to study defenses. Colts run D still blows but we don't have MJD. Jags are still looking like shit after halftime. it should be interesting, although nothing like the first matchup, but there definitely is potential that the Colts will just roll over us and it'll be just another thursday night blowout

yeah, it seems that way doesn't it? they're trying to make them rivalry matchups sometimes but they ended up picking the most lopsided ones.

ehh, i disagree. one week is a long time to wait between games when football is pretty much the only thing i really care to watch on television. if TNF matchups were actually good i'd love having a game in the middle of the week.

the tired and unprepared thing is a good point though, especially for the road team who had to spend part of that short week travelling. maybe that's when London games need to happen so both teams are in that situation, and then have extra time to rest after the returning flight?
