ThurmasThoman Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Happy Thanksgiving. Just wanted to distract everyone from the doom and gloom of our sinking ship, and be part of the orchestra playing on the deck of the titanic as it plunges into the ice cold water. Had a thought last night about how the NFL could improve it's Monday Night Footabll scheduling to get people watching again. I can recall back in the 90s, EVERY team was guaranteed a prime time game, no matter how bad their record from the previous year. I think it's time for MNF to bring that back, with a caveat - every MNF becomes an inter-conference matchup. 32 teams in the league, 16 weeks of MNF, it couldn't be more perfect. Inspired by today's packers-lions matchup: I don't care HOW good an NFC-NFC game is, i really could care less about watching it, or even the outcome of the game. Furthermore, a game between the chiefs and the broncos may be compelling, and it's even within the AFC, but still, more often than not, a divisional game usually only affects the division race, and it's impact on the wild card race is negligible. So why not have EVERY mnf game be an AFC NFC game? Just this year alone, I would watch obviously the Bills the jets the patriots the bengals the titans possibly the ravens or the steelers that's fully SIX more MNF games than i'm going to watch as it is. Thoughts?
