They thought Fox, CBS ,NBC and ESPN didn't want this game anyways, so lets make it Thursday night game of the week, the fatty Americans will watch anything NFL.



And they have been wrong this year-

At least two influential Wall Street analysts just cut their earnings estimates for CBS citing lower-than-expected ratings for NFL Thursday Night Football, which replaced conventional series in the first two months of the primetime season. All but two of the matches were “dull blow-outs,” helping to make the series “slightly loss-making” in relation to CBS’ highly profitable regular lineup, MoffettNathanson Research’s Michael Nathanson says today. He lowered his full year earnings per share estimate by 10 cents to $3.10, citing the results among other factors. Yesterday RBC Capital Markets’ David Bank dropped his earnings forecast for CBS by 27 cents to $3.07, in part because the Thursday football ratings “were not quite as strong as we hoped.”

It's inexcusable that this matchup was selected for Week 16.


It really is insane. Literally everyone knew these two teams would be bad going into the season.

Why the league doesn't expend a few brain cells on these Thursday and Monday primetime matchups is beyond me.

No stars, no upcoming talent, and no relevance to the season
