kleese Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 Credible source reporting Pats/Raiders has indeed been removed from SNF and will start at 4:05 Sunday now. No word on what is being flexed I but there is close to a 100% chance it’s our game or Bills/Dolphins. The option for 4pm Sat now appears off the table. Looks like we will be primetime either Sat or Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of the best/biggest games of the entire NFL year, marquee QB match up, and avoids putting Miami at a further travel/rest disadvantage.

Wondering same thing, hoping for Saturday prime time or Sunday. Arrive at 255 Saturday at BWI and either would allow me to go. Saturday at 430 would be a no go for me being able to go to game.

Because it would be shocking if they put us at 4pm and moved one of those lesser games available to primetime. Sounds like SNF for our game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDibbs31 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Fingers crossed for 430 PM Saturday. SNF then working Monday morning sounds rough. Would have to rethink attending that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll probably fly to San Fran on Thursday 12/22, to get used to the time change. Probably practice Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, then a practice in San Fran on Friday 12/23.

Rivera has the old school mentality that you should stick to a routine to maintain focus. He avoids uneccesary travel because the extra time in a foreign city can lead some players to distraction and shall we say "nightime mischief".

No Nonsense Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I don’t understand why anyone would be disappointed. Just be glad we’re relevant enough to be flexed to Sunday night football. 6 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fearlessNelms Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Great call by @kleese. He was all over this a week or so ago and called it all but a certainty that either way it was going to be Miami/Buffalo and Giants/Washington as the Saturday night game and the flex game to Sunday Night Football.

kleese Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 For those interested in more possible schedule changes… By rule, nothing can be flexed Christmas Eve. The NFL would have to break the rules of their own press release from before the season if they did that. The night game on Eve is Raiders at Steelers but it’s NFLN, not NBC because it’s a Sat game. And with both of those teams playing better it’s not a total dog anyway. Wouldn’t matter if it was; but regardless nothing will change on Eve with the exception of perhaps a network cross-flex; no game times are going to shift. So we will play at SF at 4:05 on the 24th. New Year’s Day vs Browns is slated for 1pm. I’d say unlikely that moves, but keep this in mind: The SNF game (Rams/Chargers) is 100% going to get flexed out. And right now CBS has the DH 4:25 game that day with ONLY Vikings at Packers in that spot. That is a potentially extremely weak feature game. I think it is certain the Sunday game gets flexed and quite possibly the Vikings game either gets flexed or another game is added to that slot. Now, looking at the schedule, it is a WEAK slate. No real obvious match-ups. The best game currently between two playoff-ish teams is Jets at Seahawks. I say keep this in mind, because this decision needs to be made after we play the Giants. IF the Browns win their next two, all of a sudden that could become a candidate to move around the schedule. Results of next two weeks could change other things as well, but something to keep an eye on. Again, I’d say chances are that our game stays where it is, but we could very well get moved or cross-flexed networks. I suppose by now we all know that week 18 is up in air across the board. I believe two games will be selected for Saturday. And they will want those games to have some level of playoff implication. But they won’t want them to be deciding games—- in other words, they don’t want to put a game on Sat that then renders a Sunday game meaningless. So who know where we will slot vs Dallas. Could be massive; could be meaningless; could be anywhere between. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo Montoya Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 somehow I didnt realize the Xmas eve game was at 3... I agreed to host my wife's 40+ person family for Xmas that night and people will start rolling in around the 3rd qtr. How did I screw this up?!?!?! Going to be at FedEx the following week and can't wait to hopefully see some meaningful football. K Cousins was the QB last time I got to see a meaningful game, he of course lost to the pack but hey it was fun for a second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
