Division rivals used to play each other once in the beginning of the season and once at the end. Now you can have the Eagles playing the Giants twice in 3 weeks!!! (alien.top)

If you lose a key player for a few weeks it skews results!

They need 2 bye weeks for each team. And there needs to be a game or games Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Then throw in the Friday and Saturday later in the season. This would allow teams to have more than 6 days off on average and multiple byes. A better product means better ratings.

There does not need to be a game every day of the week

Sunday and Monday are fine

Thursday is consistently garbage and should be canceled or drastically scaled back to opening week, Thanksgiving and MAYBE one or two other special occasions.

Saturday for playoffs and last week or two of the season is also fine.

Yeah I always like the no Thursday games until after thanksgiving. No one knows who’s going to be good the first half the season.

The result is the matchups are bad and the short week, without already having played half a season, makes it a sloppy game on top of it.
