Not really impressed with the Amazon broadcast, matchups are more often than not terrible

Al Michaels hates it and Herbstreit is awful pregame show is unwatchable

Yeah not so good

it's a lot of bad games and bad teams.

tonight was no exception.

But at start of season that seemed like a big game

It's awful. The games are always sloppy, Im the players absolutely hate it because of the quick turnaround. I read an interview with a fairly famous lineman, can't remember who, during the first couple of seasons of TNF talking about how long it takes a player's body to recover week by week and how damaging a Thursday game was

In a normal Sunday to Sunday, it was Ssomething like Monday, you don't even hardly move unless you have to go to the grocery store or something at your kid's school, Tuesday's practice is really light and mostly just meetings and film study and trainer's table, and Wednesday is your first real practice where you're acutally going full tilt. Then Thursday and Friday you're really focused on how we're going to win this game this week against this opponent.

Thinking of all that compressed into 3 days really sucks. And selfishly, it ruins FFL as well. I never start my guys on Thursday no matter how good they are (Travis Kelce the exception) because with both teams perpetually banged up and fatigued, you're way more likely to have a 13-7 game than a 31-28 game.

Last night both teams were playing on 7 days rest, but the bills were playing their third game on the road in 12 days, and they didn't look sloppy at all.

Maybe Mac Jones isn't good and the bills are?

Are you talking about Amazon's broadcast or Thursday night football in general? It seems to have blended on this thread. I don't mind the quality of Amazon's broadcast, but I would like Thursday night to go back to college football.

I think most are discussing the actual football. Which just isn't good football due to the quick turnaround

I love the prime vision with all the stats and lack of close ups on coaches or players reactions. Just give me a wide angle and lots of stats. Dude perfect has been pretty cool too and has gotten better each time. Really happy for those guys.
