Lol one year. 

Try looking at a bigger sample size, 18-49 and market share over a decade. Then let me know what you find. 

I went back and looked at several years and like I said the Cowboys were the only team that I found that made any real difference. Outside of that if the team was terrible(like both NY teams have been) it didn't matter who was in the game again except the Cowboys the numbers weren't better than games with better teams. 

All the highest rated games featured teams and games with playoff implications, it didn't matter where the teams were from those were the games that the National Audience tuned in for. 

I will say though that I probably wasn't clear with my original post, I wasn't arguing that in a vacuum a NY team wouldn't draw more viewers than a Detroit, Cincy, Cleveland etc. type team. I was saying that a bad NY team won't draw more than a good team from other parts of the country especially if its a game between 2 good teams.

So if the NFL or networks believe the NY teams are gonna be good that year then yes it makes sense to put them on as many big games as possible but if they aren't sure then they are better off putting on the teams they feel more confident even if said teams play in smaller markets. That is of course if their goal is to get the highest amount of viewers on prime time games which admittedly I don't know if that is necessarily the case.

This moran on the Jets dropped the ball before crossing the goal line. Cut him before he reaches the sideline. 

Edit: FWIW I think it is lame that they reviewed a play like that. The NFL is way over-officiated. But they should call that guy an Uber and send him home now. 

All scoring plays and turnovers are automatically reviewed. And he did drop the ball, just a brain fart. His first NFL carry, kid was overexcited.

The announcers are afraid to come right out and say what’s been obvious for weeks with the Jets.    Rodgers is the problem. He’s old and done.  We saw the signs 2 years ago in his last year in GB.

Rodgers has 79 yards through 2 1/2 quarters.   Who does he think he is, Jared Goff?

And watching the draft, they waited several rounds to take a QB. I think 6th round? Either way, I thought they were stupid to count on Rodgers, he really is the problem. Arrogant as can be.

When the Packers drafted Love, he pouted all offseason. He runs that team. He's not draft his replacement.

I think the Texans were caught on a quick turnaround Thursday Night game looking ahead to the Lions. They'll be better than this next week.

Honestly, the Texans haven't looked great all season.

Yes, I know all scores are automatically reviewed. As I said the NFL is over-officiated. And it is lame. 

But not as lame as dropping the ball in the field of play.

most of these Thursday night games are.     it takes these guys at least 2 days just to recover from the last game.  To ask them to play in just 3 games is absolutely ridiculous.    It isn't fair to the players and it's not good for the fans who want quality games.  They can fix this without losing Thursday Night Football.     When they add the 18th game (and they will), the players union needs to negotiate 3 things.  #1 TWO preseason games  #2 TWO bye weeks.    #3 - Teams can only play Thursday night games when coming off a bye week.   It can be done.  These schedule-making nerds are great.   If we can send people to the moon and bring them back alive we can certainly do that.      Sure, the Super Bowl won't be until late February.    Why would the NFL be against that.  Stay top of mind for an extra 2-3 weeks.      There should be a 5-day minimum between games.    So play some games on Saturdays too (before the end of the season).   Do you really think NFL owners care one bit about stepping on college football's toes?    It's only a matter of time until ALL pro and top-division college games are on pay channels.    You might get one or two FREE games a week.

The Texans are not a good football team. They are in the worst division in football.  They have looked bad the majority of the season now.

They should fire their coordinators.

I am tired of the Thursday night hate.  It’s fine. It’s nice having a Thursday game. They should get the bye after the Thursday game. Not before.

Dude.  You’re tired.  If I didn’t post here anymore you’d have nothing left to say.
