What's up with all these big blowout games this year on Monday and Thursday night football. I hope were not on the bad side when we have our game this year.
 
We have a Thursday night game vs. The Bills and a Monday night game at the Jets (which I will be at!). Hopefully, we will be the ones blowing them out!!!!
 
I think the problem is Thursday Night Football. It's just too quick of a turnaround from Sunday. It doesnt give time for the players to heal up for the game. If this game was played on Sunday, maybe Bridgewater would be healthy enough to go and the game would be a bit closer...

TNF seems to be a big detriment to the teams without a top QB. Perhaps the defensive players aren't able to recuperate to a high enough level to defend these top QBs, especially if their own QB is on a backup level.

The past 3 matchups have featured Top Tier QBs vs Scrub or Backup QBs. Add that with the short week, and you can see why these blowouts happen.
 
they tried to make TNF better by doing divisional games but that has backfired for sure
 
Looks like the next few TNF games will be blowouts too...

Indy Vs. Houston (Luck will blowout Houston)
Jets Vs. Patriots (Should be entertaining, regardless of who blows out who. Fully expect the Jets to collapse though.)
Chargers Vs. Broncos (Might be the only one that is close and entertaining, but there is always the chance of an INT fest with Rivers or Manning)
 
I think those 3 games MIGHT be closer, Skape. I expect NYJ/NE to be close and Chargers/Broncos to be good. Indy/Houston too soon to tell, could be good.

I think Houston is a fraud team, we'll see.
 
The Vikings looked absolutely pathetic without Peterson. It's pretty hard to believe that they used a 1st round pick on Christian Ponder. He looked terrible. Aaron Rodgers was totally in control and their running game looked great. Our best hope is that the Packers come to South Florida with an expectation that every game will be that easy.
 
GB's not a great team, and we should match up OK with them. Because of the advantage at QB, they should still beat us, but if Rodgers has a slightly off day, Miami has a chance.
 
thursday night footballs just horrible...the home teams have such a huge advantage on that short a week...what they should do is in putting the games together try and make the road teams the ones that everyone expects more from then you'd get a better product...

next weeks indy at houston might be a decent game...at least they set that one up right who should be at home and who on the road coming in

I hate to be that guy, but I fixed that for you.

I got a big dose of Vikings on red zone Sunday after Teddy B came in, and they were a different team. Matt Cassel was just lost in that offense and Christian Ponder blows. Teddy was marching them up and down the field and the entire team was feeding off of that.

I was not one of those people who felt like Teddy Bridgewater was a sure-fire All-Pro type of player coming out of Louisville, but the way he slipped in the draft because of a bad pro day workout was just laughable. He demonstrated in college that he is ready to orchestrate a complex pro offense and make all the throws you need to run one. He's a mature, intelligent, professional guy. And he got drafted what, one spot above Geno Smith in 2013? Night and day players.
