It was probably an effort to avoid putting games on Saturdays to overlap with college and Fridays to overlap with high school, but college now has games (and occasionally some pretty good matchups) on Thursdays and Fridays. Therefore, I'd like to see the Thursday game moved to Friday or Saturday, as I'd much rather watch a primetime NFL game on Friday or Saturday than watch another college game or especially a high school game.
I'm also in favor of having a better bye week schedule. Give a second bye week and/or have fewer eligible bye weeks. Having some teams have a bye week in Week 5 whereas others have to wait until Week 11 is crazy long. Just do weeks 7-10 with eight teams off each week or something like that. Given fantasy football seems to be driving so much of actual NFL these days anyways, I'm sure fantasy football players would prefer fewer weeks where they had to worry about bye week fill-ins.

Maybe it's over saturation, or as I have gotten older just realized there are plenty other things more important. I'd like to see just Sunday 10 AM and 1 PM games and the Monday Night game, they way it used to be. Heck even the MNF games are pretty boring most times.
First off reps to Brad, nice thread and well thought out.
I agree with you guys, i would move the Thursday night games to Friday or Saturday. This would make these games
not hurt teams as much and the time frame wouldn't be so weird.
Also a thought is to move Monday Night games to Fox or one of the other stations instead of ESPN who i think does a
poor job. They seem to be going down anyways and i haven't cared for ESPN for like the last 10 years.
I liked the Grude but he is a HC now.
BTW, i do understand #1 as the best records should get the top seeds. Winning your Division in a weak one shouldn't
put teams with a better record in a strong Division on the road.
