Falcons vs Seahawks should get flexed to Sunday Night

[Mizak]

Who the hell wants to watch Colts vs Texans? And also, Falcons vs Seahawks and Cowboys vs Packers in the same time slot on the same Network?

Is there a likely chance the Seahawks game get flexed?

And no I don't want to watch the stinking Cowboys every gosh darn Sunday night. NFL needs to quit it already.

Swear to god if they flex Cowboys and Packers im going to puke all over myself......That would be 3 primetime games for the Packers allready

Isn't it too early for flexing? And if we're playing opposite Dallas, you can forget it. Dallas is FOX's darling team.

Now that I think about it, the Dallas game is the game of the week next week.

What a mess.

Falcons vs Seahawks 1:25 Pacific Start Time on Fox next week.

Cowboys vs Packers 1:25 Pacific Start Time on Fox next week.

And the NFL wonders why TV ratings are declining.

 

[fuego]

Cool. Didn't realize it started that early. Our game could be a candidate since Dallas is the game of the week and FOX won't let that go.

 

[seadawg]

The 12 day notice means that's not going to happen.

 

[fuego]

Well that sucks.

 

[hulbe]

No thank you, we already have too many evening games and the players don't like them anyway.

In fairness, who would have expected the Falcons to be good going into the season?

That does suck. Sucks for the NFL too. Can't believe somebody didn't see this coming.

Makes me wonder what our record is in prime time.

Idk

Our prime time record is outstanding, and the Seahawks also have the all-time best win percentage on MNF in the entire NFL.

Plus, most of our players like prime time games. Thursday night, not so much, but prime time; yes.

For those if you complaining about Dullass and the Fudge Packers being the FOX game of the week, keep in mind that may mean we get their B team announcers and if that's the case it'll be John Lynch doing color.

Night games for east coast teams are like early games for west coast teams; Having this flexed would give us an edge. 8:30pm vs 5:30pm internal clock.

With the Seahawks having the best winning percentage and the 49ers winning the most games all time MNF, it's pretty evident that the circadian rhythm of west coast teams is a very real advantage.

It's the opposite of 10 am starts.

I think you might of missed his sarcasm. The NFL doesn't want Seattle in too many prime time games because they do so well.

Falcons vs seahawks should be game of the week.

 

[Hawknballs]

It shouldn't be flexed.

The falcons aren't that good.

Just wait for it.

carolina is playing like crap. Cam is playing like crap. Then they get denver with a rookie QB who played like crap.

Seattle isn't giving up almost 200 yards to running backs catching the ball. Their tackling is too sound. The Broncos were sooooo concerned with shutting down Julio Jones they had no answer for anything else.

Everyone is acting like the Broncos are some juggernaut this year.

Uh - Okay. They beat Carolina who is struggling.

They beat Cincinatti. Indy. Tampa. teams that aren't great.

Seattle is going to beat Atlanta and it wont be very close.
