They are also the home team for both preceding games…while a majority of teams hosting a Thursday Night game are on the road the previous Sunday. [FYI, all except one of the visiting Thursday Night teams play at home the Sunday prior. The only one not at home is the NY Giants. They are at Arizona on Sunday, 9/17, and then at San Francisco on Thursday, 9/21. I imagine that they will just stay on the West coast, so it saves them an extra coast-to-coast flight…so that’s probably why that happened.] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeds Orange Posted Thursday at 05:05 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 05:05 AM 7 hours ago, AmishBengalFan said: A few days ago, the owners approved a one-year trial for late-season Thursday Night flexes. Weeks 13-17 only. Any flexed game will require 4 weeks notice. Our home games during this period are Indy and Minnesota. The proposal passed 24-8 with the Giants, Jets, Packers, Bears, Raiders, Lions, Bengals and Stealers all voting against it. I like having the three broadcast time slots on Sunday, and MNF would be fine if they could somehow get Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell, and Don Meredith back into the booth, or even Al Michaels, and maybe move it back to ABC. In its current state, though, it's of interest only if there is a good matchup. But Thursday Night games could go away and I wouldn't miss them. I'm sure many would disagree, but I think that's where the league crosses the oversaturation point. And Amazon is going to have to fix their audio. There was a Bengals home game last year that sounded on TV like it was being played in an empty studio, while people who were at the game said it was LOUD. I hated that the national audience didn't get an accurate portrayal of what a Paycor crowd is like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
