Dcat Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets Friday, November 24, 2023 3:00 PM EST. As a season ticket holder, I love this. Why? It's NOT a night game thankfully and no work (or school for kids) the next day. Should be a fun time as long as no rain. I usually hate attending SNF,MNF,TNF for the most part. Get home around midnight or later depending on start time, school/work for most the next day. I'm a Sunday 1pm fan. But I am really going to like Black Friday at 3pm.

stevegrab Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Is this an extra feature/national game that week? Or is it replacing some other feature game, like Thanksgiving night. I haven't seen much about this year's schedule. Found this link below with some more announcements and it says the full schedule comes out Thursday. https://www.nfl.com/news/2023-nfl-schedule-release-reveal-may-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Extra game, but on Amazon only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Honestly, this is a great idea for all of the reasons Dcat mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we only had 2 timeslots on Sun, I can only watch 2 games a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I prefer to watch a quality product one day and two nights (MNF) a week rather then trying to force it on to numerous days and it be generally trash because of lack of time to prep and recover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said MNF is stupid though. On the recover note, that is an intersting point that is often factored in to odds if one team is operating on a short week. But is it really an issue for a 24 year old elite athlete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I didn't, I made a generalized statement. Sorry but I'm not clicking on a reddit started by a peon. I honestly don't have a problem with holiday games, I like how Thanksgiving days games were special. Thursday night games as a whole, black friday (which why is this special exactly?), Saturday games just because college isn't playing, yada yada yada. Its unnecessary. Its dilution that is not making the product better, its just making more money. I'm sure its great for couch potatoes, but many can't take that all in. And why would they want to? The games are generally just not good. And for the fantasy side, I absolutely hate having to figure out partial lineups or check injury reports days before the rest my squad goes. I don't personally know a single person that does enjoy it. Fantasy is becoming more effort then it's worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Scorp Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 So do the Jets wear their Black helmets and uniforms??? 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care about the game, don't watch. The game would have likely been buried in regional coverage so you would have no chance of see it, or get it instead of a better game. I know there are arguments about player rest, risk of injury etc. But the Thursday games are here to stay, so long as NFL can get somebody to pay big money to broadcast them. (And I believe Amazon paid quite a bit to get in on the NFL action.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 Now the Jets are rallying to make it a permanent thing. And Bengals have made the same ptich. While great for STH's who don't have to work on that day, this seriously sucks for STHs/fans who do not have Black Friday off. And that is a significant share of the audience. Maybe consider moving it to a Fri night game instead of 3 pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
