tr1 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5866388&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines Associated Press NEW YORK -- The last-place Dallas Cowboys are getting another chance in prime time. Dallas' matchup Dec. 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles will remain on Sunday night even though the NFL could have moved a different game into the slot under its flexible scheduling rules. The league said Tuesday the Patriots-Bears game in Week 14 will shift from 1 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. ET. The Cowboys fell way behind in losing their last two prime-time contests. The Eagles are 7-4 and tied for first place in the NFC East heading into Thursday's game against Houston. Dallas is 3-8 and plays at Indianapolis on Sunday.

tr1 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Well, who could have EVER imagined that the league is BIASED in favor of the pukes! And, puke fans wonder what the big deal is. Only in a puke-world does ineptness get rewarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncherry Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 in all honesty this is really about ratings. Dallas draws....a lot of people will tune in to watch them fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointyfootball Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 in all honesty this is really about ratings. Dallas draws....a lot of people will tune in to watch them fail. I think it's actually more about the Eagles drawing, this year. The Eagles have been part of several of the highest rated/watched games this year, with the Bears game being THE most watched game of the season so far.

Roger.Staubach Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 After looking at the games, I think I would have done the same thing if I were in their shoes. I don't see any compelling matchups. If NFL fans are lucky, they'll see a display similar to the one that Vick put on against the Redskins a few weeks back.

dockeryfan Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Personally, I'd rather watch KC @ San Diego, because that's getting interesting. But the East Coast probably isn't interested at all in that matchup. Dallas always draws good TV numbers, and Vick is exciting to watch I guess.

HapHaszard Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Should be a good game I know my Giant friends are rooting for Dallas. So I guess they will have the NY market also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUBAR Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Personally, I'd rather watch KC @ San Diego, because that's getting interesting. This. I really want to see this game. The first match up was a great one, although it was all the way back in Week 1, and the Chargers weren't playing too well. This game essentially is going to decide 1st place in the AFCW. I'm surprised they aren't showing it with all the love that goes on across the NFL with Rivers and the SuperChargers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People definitely like seeing a psychopath at quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIXX99 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 It's the media darlings against the hottest team in the league with the most exciting player. They would be dumb to flex it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruffylookin Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well I for one refuse to watch any Eagles game due to the trash at QB. I simply can no longer stomach the white washing the TV comentators do when it comes to Vick and what he did. So I know I'll be in the minority but I will not be watching that game............................unless of course the Redskins win this week and next and the Eagles drop tonight's game against the Texans.

dockeryfan Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 People are arguing it's because the Eagles are in the hunt, but in reality I think it's like Boss Hogg says. Dallas draws. Honestly, I think KC SD is a better game. But Dallas draws, even though they are out of the hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCDefectors Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Praying for the 2011 Cowboys get a 100% vanilla schedule. The Cowboys don't need to be one of the NFL's marquee/showcase franchises anymore. Anyway, yes I agree that the Cowboys-Eagles Sunday night expo should be nixed.

Maybe they protected Bears/Pats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
