Let’s see if I have this correct.

The reigning Super Bowl Champions have one less Primetime game than the Rams who the Seahawks beat 2 out of 3 times last season.

I get there could be flexed games, I get the NFL has crowned the Rams their darlings for some strange reason. Take Puke-uh and Stafford away and that is one very mid team.

Their fans are consistently outnumbered at home which is why they clamored to get the 9ers “home game” international as 9ers fans would have literally taken over So-Fi.

The NFL is my one true pro sport passion but good grief they can be myopic and biased.

1. They're in the 2nd largest market in the country

2. They score lots of points

In the eyes of the NFL, that's all that matters.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Yep.

I could be wrong but they seem to fall flat in those type of games like they are so full of themselves and then can’t overcome getting punched in the mouth at some point and start to crumple. A juggernaut with a glass jaw.

The only difference is the International game in Australia.

Both other teams to have had 7 prime time games scheduled included an international game as well. Chiefs in Brazil. Bills in London.

Hawks seem to avoid them. In 2028 when they host an international game maybe Hawks will have 7.

Myself, I wish Rams had less. I like Sunday afternoon games.

And I would not be salty if Hawks had more prime time games the year after the Rams won the Super Bowl. Would not care.

Never understood why anyone would even care about something like this.

Sometimes it's harder to watch the games in primetime because of life commitments. Sunday afternoons are usually pretty open, for me at least.

Not all primetime games are created equally. What I always look for are the Sunday night games. Those are the big prize. Those consistently get the highest ratings of the primetime games. Not surprisingly, the Seahawks only got one and of course it's against Saint Patrick. Of course the Dallas f-in Cowgirls are scheduled for THREE (3) Sunday Night Games. Even the Stealers and Niners are each scheduled for 2 of them. Meanwhile, the Super Bowl Champs get the same number of Sunday Night games as Carolina. That's some serious BS.

Trackhawk · May 15, 2026

I always have mixed emotions on this. The Hawks have a long history of performing well in prime time, especially Sunday night.

Since I have to catch a flight home after the games. I can’t make most prime time games, unless I’m on vacation the following week.

The evening flight works with Sunday afternoon games.

JustTheTip · May 15, 2026

If it were about respect I might consider being salty. It has only to do with money though just like everything else the NFL touches, so it matters not at all.

Agree with this. Give me a full slate of Sunday afternoon games, a couple primetime games, with no international games. Consistency helps.

FrodosFinger · May 15, 2026

We got 7 primetime games which is the most we've ever had in a season. I'm not all that upset about having one less primetime game than LA tbh. Everyone will forget about the Rams after they see the regression in play. They're one injury away from mediocrity

AROS · May 15, 2026

I see all of your points for sure but I still see it as a slight on my precious team so the NFL can suck it.

Watching the Cowboys lose on Sunday night is a close 2nd to watching the Seahawks win...glass half full.

Torc · May 15, 2026

The big problem for me with the primetime games is where they're streaming from. Last season Fox finally released their streaming app, so for one subscription (at least in our location, SW WA) you could watch most of the games. The primetime games mean that you have to have Prime for Thursdays, ESPN/ABC for Mondays, CBS/Paramount for some of the Sunday games, and NBC/Peacock for the Sunday night games. It's really annoying to have to figure out which streaming service you need, and subscribe to one for a month if it's not one that you already do.

Yeah, first world problems.

But please, NFL, give us virtual season tickets for one team.

LA are the ******* darlings of both NFL and MLB.

And both, apparently, have no salary cap! Oh yea, and almost forgot, I know this is an NFL board - but **** Ohtani.

Not a close 2nd me. I find them to be a boring and irrelevant team. I tend to not watch most of their games. If only others would do the same.

FrodosFinger · May 15, 2026

It's crazy to see we're not top 5 in travel miles this year. I love it. Usually we're top 3. Niners and Rams will be the most travelled teams this year but a lot has to do with the Australian game
