osusev Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 These injuries to Stallworth and other players has me thinking. dam it our schedule is brutal. that Thursday night game with Denver following the sunday night game has me worried because of fatigue, injuries, and game preparation. I am not a fan of the Thursday night games on the NFL network. I like the network sort of for informational purposes. I think they are taxing teams in a already long season by compressing them for their own broadcast to cash in more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furnier Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I agree. Saturday Night games would be better, but that would interfere with the NCAA and Friday Night games would interfere with High School. Why can't they just do two consecutive Monday Night games like they do the opening week? Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 88fingerslewy Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 On the bright side. from that game 'til the Buff. game it'll be 11 days. Just like a bye week. But you're right it'll be a brutal week for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPB Dawg Fan Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I don't like them much either...BUT... Denver is coming off of a 4:15 start on this Sunday...then has to TRAVEL to Cleveland for the Thursday game. That should give us some advantages. Also, the week after Denver is our MNF date with Buffalo...which gives us 4 extra days to plan for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roach Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 With the exception of MNF, all home games should be played on Sundays at 1:00. And it should be a law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffer X Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Who is the marketing genius that came up with Thursday night games in the first place? I don't think I've ever met anybody that actually likes them, ever. What do they get like, one day of game planning in a walk through? Ridiculous, then there is no game to look forward to on Sunday. Completely backass IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osusev Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 good point s wpb, I still dont like them for my reasons. I dont mind the concept of the NFL trying to broadcast their own product for the overall good of all franchises. If they wanted to do that they could have done the Saturday format or say take a couple of the Monday night broadcasts. I suppose there is no easy solution considering their negotiations with the big stations. I just think they made a decision that is bad for the franchises that have to play on that overly compressed schedule. Hell it could be detrimental to a season or even players getting injuries they normally would not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalBrownsFan Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Isn't the Thursday night games on NFL network. If so, I hate them, since I don't have that network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffer X Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 They're televised locally, but that doesn't do guys who don't live around Cleveland any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Masters Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 The additional Thursday night games were added so the NFL network had games to air, in their effort to be a network on every basic cable. There has alwasy been a couple of Thursday games, on Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Qwimbley Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 It isn't Thursday after Sunday night. We play at 1 this Sunday. We actually have 11+ days of rest afterward, so thats a plus to go with the negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gips Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 We will likely beat the ratbirds and likely lose the broncos due to our coordinators not having the phat skills or 14 days to present a decent gameplan for the team by thursday...

Orangenotbrown Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 But then its on and.. Hey its ON! Here's what those marketing geniuses have over the rest of you: Thursday night is a slippery slope into Friday which is OF COURSE the weekend when you can sell ice to eskimos. Don't blame the thursday night game for being at the front of the line. I like the thursday night game I don't like BEING the thursday night game. But either does the other team probably. In fact if they LIKE it they probably win. Its psycho-logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Rex Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Anyone else watch Roger Goodell talking about expanding the schedule to 18 games so they can include 2 more games in Europe?

Does it have anything to do with manning the grill for 9 hours on a 4.15 kick off??! I am personally gutted that the texans game isn't a 4.15 KO, but then again, I don't have to man the grill!

Riffer X Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 They're televised locally, but that doesn't do guys who don't live around Cleveland any good. And girls!! I have to admit that I like it anytime the Browns are on national feeds (this past weekend they weren't). I don't get to see them much otherwise. I'll get to see them Sunday ('cause I live in a Baltimore-ish market) and Thursday too! BONUS!!!! Yeah, the short week sucks but I keep thinking these guys are professional athletes and coaches (in theory) they should be able to adjust their schedules. Sorry ma'am, not trying to exclude you or others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mz. Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I am not a fan of the Thursday night games on the NFL network. Pretty soon, sev, the NFL's marketing department will realize it's a tremendous idea to have games on Wednesday as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
