10AM game next week vs Falcons

[seattlest7]

Thanks NFL for being so understanding with west coast teams playing at 10am .... Goodell sucks

Nevermind the rule put in place a couple years ago forbidding east coast teams from having to make two long trips out west wen playing NFC/AFC West.

Damnit. If we come out flat, I will be SO pissed. We cant let those little things stop us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't matter, gotta go win the game. It's the playoffs, they gotta deal with it.

 

[slipwax]

no kidding. The Texans vs NE is the late game? Seriously?

 

[BlueTalons]

Nope...NINE AM!!! (At least that is what they we showing...)

 

[Soppie]

Nope...NINE AM!!!

I saw that too. Im hoping that is when Fox's coverage starts, not the game.

Why would they have a rule that protects East Coast teams? The time zone difference only affects West Coast teams going East.

East Coast bias if I've ever seen it.

Is there really a big difference between having the early game on Sunday vs the late game on Saturday? With the latter, we'd be on a short week.

We came out flat today and it was a 3:30 CT start. What do you want a midnight kickoff?

 

[grizrgood]

Yah, they are showing 12 pm ET!

 

[SHOCKER315]

Pete needs to start all the practices this week at 10am to get the players used to being ready to go that early.

 

[Blitzer88]

Thanks NFL.............this is bullcrap.

It's a fact, Sturm. Mara bitched, and was heard (NYG's owner). He's also the guy that got the league to officially investigate sound being pumped into (at the time) Qwest Field.

Paul Allen needs to say something to these arrogant people ...

The playoff schedule (for kickoff times) was done before the playoffs even started. This week, Fox got the late game, next week, they get the early game. It's the nature of the beast.

And the 12pET is for Fox's pregame show, kickoff is at 1pET.

I swear, some are such pansies sometimes.

 

[General Manager]

So is the game Sat or Sun.

His team isnt the one that makes the NFL the big bucks, they wont really care

Sunday at 10AM. Coverage starts at 9, which is why they listed it as 12 ET

 

[seattlest7]

It's not so much the 10am game kickoff, as having the players have to wake up at 5am on their body clock to begin the pre-game preparations.
