I would be much happier with a Saturday night game, even a Friday night game would work better logistically for most teams.

Thursday Night Football is the NFL's way of hanging the NFL Network around all fans/players/coaches necks like an albatross. Gotta love the bureacracy.

why not? if they are truly scheduling it after a bye week, then Tue or Wed actually makes sense.

I really hate Thur night games, and I never even start watching on Thursdays unless the Saints are playing
