This week's contest was an absolute debacle and there is no way around that. The NFL gave further evidence it does not care about player safety with the field conditions they made both the Packers and Raiders players play on Thursday Night.
Thursday Night's contest was another example of why the NFL should limit, or even eliminate preseason games and just allow teams to have more practice time, scrimmages, and joint practices. The quality of these games shows that players would benefit from more film study, controlled padded practices, in-squad scrimmages, and joint practices (despite the constant fights and Aaron Rodgers disdain).
