It's easy, and only takes a few moments.In NYC area today, the postponement announcement to Monday was accompanied by statement that both Jets and Giants also would be playing on Thursday as previously scheduled. Apparently both teams did not like it, but commish in essence said tough.
Yeah, the league wants all preseason games to be done on Thursday. It is better to cheat teams out of preparation time from preseason game #3 and preseason game #4 than cheat them out of days from preseason game #4 and the regular season. No way do they move that game.
No, Jets and Giants as he said, whose game was postponed to Monday and who are both scheduled to play Thursday (like all but two teams).You mean Pats and Giants?
It's an interesting dynamic. As of now, the Jets and Giants are scheduled to play on Thursday, despite only 3 days between games, I think the league wants the games to get done to give teams 10 days off before start of the season. Might be better to maybe bump both games, Jets/Eagles, Giants/Pats to Friday at the latest, won't bother either team too much, that and in both games it's usually bottom of the roster players playing anyway.
