I wonder if it works out? I guess it's essentially a bye week before a Thursday game but without the structure of a 'bye week' and the scheduling complications exposed by it. Am I missing something with this thought?
A lot of people have made the same suggestion. Instead of a two-week break with no game the teams gets a 11 day break before the Thursday game and a ten day break after it.
