FWmaker Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Anyone else scramble around trying to get lineups in before week 16's "Thursday Night Game"? Felt like a fool!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebirds55 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 No but I've been scrambling all week moving players in and out of my lineup and can't make decisions....but it sounds funny that Saturday nights game is actually "Monday night football". Espn is advertising Monday night countdown, kinda weird but I get why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yeah. I was in the "I like having an extra day of football" camp earlier in the season, but it has been wearing me out from a fantasy perspective. I wouldn't mind if the chivescanned it...

detlef Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I have Julio and am playing against Ryan in the finals. At about 10:00 last night I panic a bit and grabbed my phone to see how I was doing. Forgetting that it wasn't on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Did anybody really miss it? I was actually kinda glad there wasn't a game on. I did not care for it. You have to make decisions on starting with incomplete informations. The THU game players have little practice/healing time so they are always harder to call and you may not have enough info yet to make a decision on Player A who plays on SUN and has only practiced one day and yet your other option is player B who is a THU game so you have to either go ahead and use him or take a risk on what develops with Player A. I like it all happening on SUN and then the one MNF. The rest just rushes things too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Did anybody really miss it? I was actually kinda glad there wasn't a game on. +1. I've said it before, Thursday night football virtually every week is ruining fantasy football for me. I'm busy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 moving it to sat night might not be a bad idea. i'm sure there's some reason why that won't happen though, either money or something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpayers Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I like WATCHING an NFL game on Thursday....it gives me that "yippie the weekend is almost here" feeling; however, I absolutely dislike the FF aspect. Subconsciously or not , I tend to avoid the TNF players thus ruining my objectivity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Saturday games until the college regular season is over. A long-standing rule not to compete with them. Same reason for no Friday games with High School games going on.

I miss the days when Sunday was the only day that was really dedicated to pro football and Monday night was a little something extra special. I haven't like the Thursday games since they introduced it & like it even less now. It's just overkill to me and judging by the product we've seen on the field this year, is really not good for the players either as it seems to have greatly affected the competitiveness and preparation of the teams that have to work with those short weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As just a football fan, I could not agree more. It does favor the stronger teams from the lack of preparation time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do luv me some Sunday night games though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason for no Friday games with High School games going on. I hate this long standing rule. Networks compete in every other aspect of television programming, but putting college football against pro football on tv is bad form? If no one watches Saturday night college football because the pros are on then so be it. The lion eats the gazelle, that's life. Suck it up.

And hamsters eat their young, and while I venture to say that maybe convenient, it does not offer a bright future for the offspring. Goodell sucks at many things but he's too smart to suck that up. TV deals and ratings rule...that's real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
