Campbell4Clipboard Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thank god, at least I'll be able to get some good night's sleep instead of going to bed with disgust after the beatdown that the Gmen are gonna put on us. Over under for points scored by Jason Candle and Co. is 3 and it wouldn't shock me if we get shot out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAFGA Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I agree with everyone here. I prefer 1PM games. It makes for better scheduling for me coming up to see the game. It's still a long day, but at least I can be home before the 8:15 game starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thank God. I hope I never see another primetime game again. I felt bad going into the girls game only cause we were on primetime. We haven't been good on a national stage in a long long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF44 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Does that mean that it can't go to 4pm? The flex thing is just for the night game I thought. Fox could still move it to 4 I think, or does protecting it keep it a 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'm still in fear that they will flex the Philly game. NO MORE PRIME TIME!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidenreich Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I thought of this last night, the best game of that week for NBC to take is Denver at the Jets. Doing that leaves 1 pm open for the Giants in the NY market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spear Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'm seriously considering torching NBC and ESPN, if it'll help keep us out of primetime. Oh and NFLN, too.

Heidenreich Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Just saw this on ESPN.com For those who were wondering, the NFL and NBC have opted against flexing the Nov. 30 game between Minnesota and Chicago, leaving kickoff for that matchup at 8:15 p.m. ET. That means that the Jets & the Giants are both currently scheduled to play at 1 pm that day. Both games will not be played at the same time for television purposes. I had this whole explination ready explaining why I thought the Giants game would be played at 4, but when I just looked on ESPN.com, the week 13 schedule is already up. Denver at the Jets is at 4 Giants at Washington is at one http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/schedule#13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HouseBowlrz Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Does that mean that it can't go to 4pm? The flex thing is just for the night game I thought. Fox could still move it to 4 I think, or does protecting it keep it a 1? There has been discussion on another board as to whether the Jets (hosting Denver) would hold the early time slot with Steelers-Patriots already in the late slot as the feature game, or get flexed into the night slot (uprooting Bears-Vikings). I had a feeling that Bears-Vikings would stay as it's still a good NFC North "black and blue" matchup that could affect who leads/wins that division. So we knew one game was going to move and had that week been Fox's turn for a doubleheader, no question it would have been dropped to 1615 ET. However, this is CBS's turn for a doubleheader so if we did get moved, it would be to 1605 ET. Last year, Week 11 initially was: us at Dallas at 1300, Giants at Detroit at 1615, Jets hosting Pittsburgh at 1300 and no CBS late game at 1605. Three-plus weeks prior, the league moved three games: ours to 1615 ET as the marquee late game, Giants-Detroit to 1300 ET as the early headliner, and Steelers-Jets to 1605. I believe there is a rule that any 1605 ET game cannot go to more than 50 percent of the country so it was pretty likely that we would hold the early time because: (1) the Giants are 9-1; (2) they are the largest market in the league; and (3) it's an NFC East matchup which always works in Fox's favor for ratings. Plan on Buck-Aikman making the trip from Dallas to call this game. So that sends the Jets to the 1615 ET time slot ... but what surprises me is that CBS did not lobby to move Steelers-Patriots, currently scheduled for 1615, back to 1300 so they had a strong lead in game. Right now, their only three early games are: Dolphins-Rams, Ravens-Bengals, Colts-Browns. And for those worried about those squirly secondary market rules, CBS is limited to one game that week with us at home on Fox so it is 99 percent unlikely that WUSA would be forced to show the Ratbirds and deprive this area of any late football. So breakfast and lunch for the Giants game ... :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
