I vote yes. NFL should play on Sunday & Monday only.

FWIW

Minnesota Dallas game last week was the largest TV audience in the history of Thursday Night Football.


Part of the problem is simply bad matchups. If you could guarantee that the marquee game of the week was Thurs night, then it wouldn't be so bad. But would you want to do that??? No idea why.

The NFL discovered its reach had exceeded its grasp with TNF.

Football should play on Sunday during the day.

The exception is Monday Night Football.
The exception is Thanksgiving day football.
The exception is Saturday football after college football season is over.

The players need rest. The coaches need time.

TNF has the dumb rule that every team has to play on it instead of the best teams.

Golly gee, I wonder why the ratings are shabby.

It's not a hard fix. Just make the season an extra week longer so you can add a bye before each team plays on Thursday night. That would at least solve the players' health concern.
