Pats/Eagles no longer the national 4:25PM game on FOX Week 13

It's still on at 4:25 but Saints/Panthers has been moved to 4:25 and will presumably now be the primary national game with Pats/Eagles being shown in the local regional markets and most likely some other non-local markets that show them when they can.

Good, be nice for the nation to stop obsessing over the Pats for 5 minutes.

Also means we won't get joe buck and troy aikman which is a plus.

God damn you scared me, thought it was moving to 1 o'clock. Early games suck for drill weekend.

I hope the Panthers go 18-0.

Thank you for your service!

I don't blame Fox for wanting to promote their (the NFC's) undefeated team rather than CBS' (AFC's).

I bet Saints will be the ones who knock them off. Would be fitting for Saints to win that game and go on to probably get swept by Tampa.

Thanks!

I'm not surprised. I've been rooting for the Eagles to win the last two games to prevent this from happening.

In week 14, the Seahawks/Ravens SNF game is going to get flexed out. Let's say CBS protects the Squealers vs the Red Ryder BB gun's team. If the Texans keep winning, that game gets flexed into the SNF slot? The only other option is the Falcons/Panthers game gets flexed into the SNF slot.

After yesterday's Bucs blowout of Eagles, I'm not surprised that Fox might smell another blowout n switched to what they're hoping will b a more competitive game

At first, I was like "WTF! I never get to see the Pats play, now they're getting bounced from a national game, great!! Looks like I'm missing another one!"

Then I remembered, I live in Pennsylvania. I'll probably still see it because they're playing Philadelphia. Whoops.

Damn...hope I can still see it. Our "local" channel out here is Raleigh, so we were getting the Panthers anyway.

Individual teams may make no more than four appearances on NBC during the season. Only three teams may make as many as six prime time appearances (Sunday night, Monday night, Thursday night, and Saturday night combined). The remaining teams may make a maximum of five prime time appearances

Pats are already at 5 prime time games and 8 teams were at 5 prime time games to begin the season. So really it comes down to if the nfl wants to use 1 of their 3 exceptions on the Pats. Texans wouldn't effect it because they've only had 2 this year.

You don't have to. it's been confirmed CBS protected it.

Ya Falcons/Panthers is likely the one that gets flexed. For multiple reasons

1- Could still be undefeated.
2- FOX is protecting Cowboys/Packers
3- Both teams have only been on prime time twice this season and don't have an upcoming game

I listen. To WIP. Whoa.. the angst. People r feeling down there!

Yup, I live in Philly as well and people are up in arms. The eagles look terrible, just terrible. They have no passion and played like garbage.

I have several friends who were originally from So Jersey and/or Penn n r big time Eagle fans. I can't text/call them. I still remember going to one of their houses for the Pats/Eagles Super Bowl. I and my seatmate had a great time...They...not so much

Bull crap. My drills ended 17 years ago. I've earned my 1 pm games. You have to wait like I did.
