Thursday night games from Weeks 2-15
EKaberonEli Kaberon
NFL Network will air Thursday night games from Weeks 2-15 starting in 2012. Allows every team to get a primetime game. NFL Network plans 13 Thursday night games in 2012 Posted by Michael David Smith on February 3, 2012, 12:01 PM EST NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell revealed today that the number of regular-season games televised by NFL Network is about to increase. Goodell said the NFL Network will expand to 13 Thursday night games for the 2012 season. He also said all 32 NFL teams will be guaranteed at least one prime time game over the course of the 2012 season. Fans should be ready for Thursday Night Football to become a regular part of their lives, just as fans have grown accustomed to football all day Sunday and again on Monday night. “We’re going to be playing Thursday night games from Week 2 to Week 15,” Goodell said. As for fans who don’t get NFL Network, Goodell said it’s time for the holdout cable companies to get in line or risk losing NFL fans. “The market for NFL Network is here,” Goodell said. “And it’s going to continue to grow.” |

I don't know, the leagues I've been in the last couple of years (on different sites) make you put in any player you want from the Thursday night game but the rest you don't have to decide on until Sunday before kickoff.

What will we bitch about now? (referring to not getting any prime time games when the schedules are announced).

Nope, a Chiefs game got moved to Friday because of the weather in Miami a few years ago and it didn't get shown on Sunday Ticket...until Sunday. It aired as a replay at the original broadcast time. No primetime games are ever available on Sunday Ticket.

From what I've read, the whole argument stems from the NFL wanting their network on TWC's standard tier, and TWC wanting to put it on the sports tier. Yeah... no desire to help fight that battle. Just another reason to watch more college football, which also has Thursday night games.
