I'm not complaining. I'm just surprised that the league is only putting 2 late games on. They complain about ratings, but the majority of games play simultaneously at 1pm. Seems like they're pulling a Plaxico with that.


Probably has to do with a lot of teams having bye weeks this week no? Also could have something to do with the world series? Even tho games not on til 8 eastern.

Bye week is the more logical of the two with 6 teams, next week is another one with 7 so likely the same thing will happen.

Both valid points, but there's 7 1pm games and 1 England game. Compare that to next week where there's 6 and 4 or the week after where there's 8 and 3. I'm never against being able to watch GB on tv, just seems weird that the league would let 2 games be on for the late slot and then wonder why ratings drop. Variety would undeniably be better for ratings.

Both late games tomorrow are pretty high profile. Good argument for sure. These Thursday night games have been deplorable to say the least, but the late games and SNF will garner much attention for sure.

That's weird as shit, it's been pretty similar all year it seems. (Looking at you, primetime games)
