I think your probably right about this. They will want to have more than 1 4:15 game to switch to or show updates for, and the NFL wants to make sure the competition does not suffer because one team thinks their chances are over. Move our game and the Jets game to 4:15.
As I understand it, the decision comes down to the NFL and not the network.
I am a Colts fan but I really think the Pats are playing good football and I feel bad you guys I think will be out at 11-5 while you got the Western suck divisions who can go 8-8 and get in.
It just does not seem fair.
i really dont think they would be. they will show up and play when they are asked to. We are playing with house money right now. Any time shouldnt matter.Why do you think the NFL has the final say?
I think you're right, and if you are, now I'm thinking it'll be Jax Bal at 4:15, while we stay at 1:
1) Buffalo has asked the league not to give them 4:00 starts at home -- and they haven't had any yet this year.
2) It gives Goodell an out: he can say yes I moved the Jet game, but kept it meaningful by moving the ravens game too. If Ravens lose and Pats win, a Jet win gives Jets the #6 seed.
BUT, how LIKELY is a Jaguars win in Baltimore on Dec 28 with nothing on the line for Jax?? NOT HAPPENNING!!!!!! I am sure the Pats' brass are working the phones tonight.
As for the jags, not as much hope here, but the ravens are coming off a big win in Dallas and could overlook the Jags, who could possibly steal the game if MJD gets going and Garrard decides to take care of the ball.
Maybe coach BB should sandbag it for a while. If the Pats get off like the last two weeks, it's be evident to anyone with half a brain that it's over. Nah, you always go out to put away the opponent as soon as possible. Never know, and look what Buffalo did in Denver yesterday. Didn't have time to read all of the thread. Maybe this scenario has already been suggested.Nope because the Pats-Bills game is at the same time as Jets-Dolphins so he wouldn't know yet if we beat bills.
I didn't wade through the whole thread, but thee are too many reasons they wouldn't.
(assuming the schedule stays the same)
1) Prove the Favre trade was wise (somehow)
2) Save several jobs
3) Maintain shot at the playoffs, however slim
4) Favre is done, wants to go out on top
5) Divisional game - to lose to the fish is to lose a lot of face (not that Mangini can't spare some face)
6) Home game - despite the whining at JI, there will be fans at the game
Unless they go into the game with NOTHING to play for, they will try to win.
We also don't know which players are playing for their jobs, escalators, etc...
I agree with most of those, but one you forgot is the one I put in my last post. Mangini doesn't want to show Jets Nation that he made a huge mistake getting rid of Pennington by allowing him to lead a 1-15 team to 11-5 and an AFC East Championship.
