2023 NFL Offseason Thread

i hear you but the league has to provide teams at least 28 days notice that their games are being flexed to thursday

i think that’s fair

Where you seen that 28?

That makes sense, but the point of flexing is to have a better match up for possible better ratings. ALOT can happen in 28 days.

 

[O.G.]

28 days is about 1/4 of the season. So much can go wrong.

That the catch 22

It should be 28 days

But that 6-2 team, and in 1st place, in 28 days could be 6-6 and in last place in 28 days

 

[O.G.]

Is there a limit on how many games a team can play on Thursday in a season?

I think what folks have a problem with is the flexing.

It's not taking a Sunday 1pm game and moving it 4pm or Sunday Night/Monday Night football.

Telling a team that just played on Sunday and wasn't expecting to play Thursday, that they're playingThursday, is some fukd up shit. Especially if it's late in the season we're even the good teams are playing on 80% health.

I understand that but they'll inform the teams weeks ahead of time before they flex tho

Not to mention the fans who bought tickets to a game that is now flexed and have to change travel plans

Its f’d up all around. Its not good for anybody but the owners and thier pockets

and true, a lot can happen in 28 days but that’s football regardless if games are flexed or not

injuries or teams starting out hot and falling off a cliff comes with the territory

This is really the biggest problem that'll have the long term effect

Eh… I’d rather not have TNF altogether, but I don’t mind the flexing with the 28 day window. Still not an ideal situation but the NFL gonna get their ratings & their money.

Honestly, considering that the games are in primetime, I'm of the belief that TNF games should only be broadcasted maybe five or six times out of the year and be for games that the majority of the4 country would like to watch.

Goodell has made the owners and league a crap ton of money during his tenure but he's ruining the game

If they waited until after thanksgiving and put out the best possible games the rest of the year TNF would be something special.

so if a player fair catches a kick return on the six yard line, their drive will start on the 25?

that’s fucking stupid lol

Yep. Unfair to the punters who are able to pin the opponents deep in their own territory
