Win the division and get HFA and we avoid all 10AM games.. pretty simple.

Better yet, The packers had to travel to the East coast for their first game on a sunday then on a short week travel to the west coast to play a team that had a bye. That is a lot of travel and a lot of missed practice and game planning time. Yet I don't see them complaining about it.
Don't like playing 10:00am game time?
Don't get Swept by The RAMS!
OR
Win More Games & Get HFA!
OR
File complaints w/the NFL
OR
Score More Points than ZERO in 30 minutes of play vs Panthers!
If you Coach knows you're already 0 for whatever in 10:00am games...Adjust your habits and do something different FFS!
Simple as that!

They play 8:30pm games every Sunday and Monday night during the season. There is no reason to start one game that early. I understand the HFA thing, but I have a couple of problems with that as an end all be all rule. First off, if that's your reasoning, then you need to re-seed according to record. A 7-9 team had no business having a home game and a 10-6 or 11-5 team having to go on the road. HFA is things like crowd noise, atmosphere, environment, etc. It's not about arbitrarily starting a game that biases any west coast team. That can be controlled.

They have no reason to do that, the NFC CG starts at 4:30 AZ time.
Win more games and none of this is an issue.

I appreciate your efforts a great deal and I wish you success in your quest to end all 10:00 AM Pacific games in the NFL. It could easily be done.
I know you're a 9er fan and I just though I'd remind you of the absolute screwing your franchise took in terms of scheduling at the beginning of the season in case you've forgotten (unlikely). Your team played they late Monday night opener the first week of the season against the Vikings and IIRC the game didn't end until nearly midnight Pacific time. The following week they had to travel to Pittsburgh and play a Sunday morning, 10:00 AM game and the results were quite predictable, they got beat handily.
As a side note, Pittsburgh made their first visit to Seattle in like 12 years this season because the scheduling was being 'reset' and in '11 Seattle traveled to Pittsburgh when they should've visited Seattle. I might alsoi add that the Steelers were given a bye week before their trip to Seattle.
I mention these 2 things because I actually do believe there is a conspiracy to give the east coast teams a competitive advantage when it comes to scheduling and I think the Steelers are front and center in benefiting from this type of thing. Rooney is a powerful and influential guy in the NFL and his team has the biggest national following of any. The league as well as the team itself benefit greatly from assuring their competitive relevance (merchandise sales!). I mention this because I believe you will be fighting against Rooney and other eastern team owners (Kraft, Mara, Richardson?) working behind the public face of Goodell to make sure this doesn't happen and I feel you need to find a way to coalesce western and mountain owners and get them to get central and eastern owners sympathetic to their plight to join forces with them to overcome Rooney and others that like things just as they are.
One other thing I'd like to bring up......people say that TV is the reason for this and that IMO makes ZERO sense whatsoever. As Colin Cowherd often says, the NFL is the highest rated TV show on 4 networks, CBS, FOX, ESPN and NBC. Networks love live sports cuz people watch the commercials rather than fast forwarding through them because it's on their DVR thus they get better ad revenue from live sports than any other shows because advertisers and the networks know people are seeing those ads. I just don't believe for a second that the networks give a hoot about when games are on so long as they are on. Also, no 10:00 AM Pacific games might well actually increase viewers in the Pacific and Mountain time zones because there would be no conflict with Sunday morning church services as well.
Fight the good fight for the Seahawks, 49ers, Raiders, Chargers, Rams, Cards and Broncos!
Both teams got screwed. The Vikings for having to play that incredibly late hour for their body clocks and the 9ers for having to play a 10:00 AM game is Pissburgh basically 5 days after finishing a game at midnight Monday night/Tuesday morning. That late Monday night game should've been scheduled against another Pacific Time Zone team for sure, not Minny. SF should not have had to go east and play at 10 AM the following week (though as stated numerous times, I believe NO team should have to play at 10 AM Pacific).WilsonMVP":12birg28 said:How did the 49ers get screwed in week 1....going against the Vikings who were basically starting the game at 9:30 THEIR time....I would say Vikings got screwed...game was starting at bed time for them.
