I have always preferred a 1pm kickoff on Sunday to watch the NFL. This year, the Pats will only have three games at that time. All of the other games will either be on at 4:15pm and 8:15pm on Sundays or Monday night at 8:20.
The league has their Thursday flex schedule of eight games on Thursday nights starting in November. These games are broadcast on the NFL Network and only viewed by those who have access to the cable channel.
Now, the league wants to have a full season of Thursday night games and solicit bids from the major networks for broadcasting rights. This will certainly add a great deal of revenue to the coffers. It's a no-brainer from a financial viewpoint, but I don't agree with playing games on Thursday night.
Many people probably agree with this, but in the end, it's all about the money. I'm sure there will be Thursday night football in the future.
I think the only reason they stay away from Friday and Saturday is because of college football needs their own time with the broadcast networks.
