The game flexed to Sunday night next week is a joke. The nfl fucked up. It should have been bears packers, bills dolphins, or browns Steelers bears packers got flexed to 425et the other 2 are still 1pm et games
All the AFC games have to be played at the same time That was the only game with implication that isn't reliant on another game
But the AFC games aren't at the same time. Browns, Dolphins and Ravens all play the morning games, and then Colts and Titans play the PM games. sunday night game is the right call though. As underwhelming to have teams with a combined 10-19-1 record duke it out, its the only game that is guaranteed to matter regardless of how the other games go.
sorry, meant that you can't have an AFC game on SNF for example, if PIT loses, BUF has nothing to play for against MIA (they'd clinch the #2 seed even with a loss) so they could theoretically rest players and the NFL won't want that on SNF
right yeah exactly. AFC playoff picture is decided with a Colts loss, so can't have them play and then do an AFC game. And if Dolphins, Ravens, Browns and Titans all win, Colts game would be meaningless too. I guess you could've gone with Rams vs Cardinals? Bears win and its a "win and your in" game. Bears lose and the Cardinals still have a chance to win. But I guess its unfair to the Bears if they lose and the Rams rest everyone knowing they don't need to win; when if the Bears and the Rams/Cards game was at the same time Rams would've had to try and win.
well yeah it's a prime time NFL game with some playoff implications - plus Dallas or New York fans will be tuning in as well. I just think they'd want a matchup with actual stars or good teams in it haha
This usually does a pretty good job of projecting who will do well in the playoffs. Packers are technically the best team in the league from an efficiency standpoint, although it's close. The Bucs are sort of a stealth contender going by this.
I agree, it will be a bad game and I would much rather see a better one. But I think you answered the question with Dallas and NY Fans tuning in haha
Bears packers rams cardinals Seahawks all now play at the same time and all have something to play for. Bears packers should have been the Sunday night game.
I mean yeah sure, but the Eagles have nothing to play for. At least the Bears have something to play for and should be on Sunday night.
I mean the Eagles will want to see how Hurts does again to help make some decisions next year, and Washington is playing for a playoff spot. It’s a division game, it makes sense it got flexed
If the Cardinals lost earlier in the day the Bears would have nothing to play for so it makes sense to have those two games at the same time while flexing WFT/Eagles.
