Last night s match up was something to get excited about; Chiefs vs Raiders, a great rivalry returning to what it once was.
The game was a disappointment mostly because of how poorly both teams played. Was it another example of teams not being fully ready to play on such short rest. I think there is something to that.
In any case, a great Match Up for a Sunday afternoon, became a sloppily played game on another Thursday where I fell asleep and missed the end.
Thank you Mr. Commisioner.
It's been stated so many times yet the NFL continues to play these ridiculous Thursday night games. It makes you wonder as you watch how many of those guys out on that field are playing with the mindset of just trying to survive and ride it out. Self preservation first and to hell with the outcome.
it was a fair game. Cold weather at night. Not the best game I've seen, but certainly not the worst.
Maybe my view is skewed by my perception that the league under this commisioner will do almost anything to make a buck regardless of what it does to the game. From too many commercials, to games in London, Thursday Night games, poor officiating and wanting to add 2 more games to the schedule.
I love the Giants and am a big NFL fan. But I grew up on Sunday afternoon football and hate to see that day diluted.
I thought it was a good defensive game
Still trying to figure out why we love Thursday games on a holiday and bitch every other Thursday. There are plenty of terrible games every Sunday afternoon as well
Maybe because they are good match ups that other than the Giants I don t see the end of the game. 5 a. m. comes around quickly when you get to bed too late

Isn't it obvious? The league harps on safety then strolls 2 teams out each week on 3 days rest. If they keep TNF then its participating teams should be coming off of a BYE, its a very simple solution.
If the games suck on Sunday night or Monday night we are still bitching.
Jax, Cle, Ten, Hou on Thursday is a shitty game whether there is a week off or not
The Raiders played last night exactly like they played the 1st half the week before. Only this game they played on the road against a much better team. KC plays this type of offensive game every week
Now, I completely agree they could do this better with bye weeks. When you are showing almost every team, you are going to get bad matchups. The networks are not going to give up premier matchups for their costs
