By what criteria did the league decide which game to flex on Sunday?
 

How did they decide who would be "flexed"? It would seem only natural that the most logical thing to do to ENSURE that the Jests didn't bag it if Baltimore is destroying the Jags.....would be to PUT the Pats/Bills game at 4:15 pm. I mean, if the Jests don't know their fate yet,......THEY HAVE TO PLAY IT OUT.....they are still somewhat in control of their destiny......THE PATRIOTS are totally dependent on what other teams do.....to get into the playoffs.

This just seems like another F.U. by GOD-dell to the Krafts and the Patriots.....and a defense of his beloved Jets. How in gods name can you explain it any other way? IF we beat Buffalo........The Jests already know that if Balt is beating the Jags pretty soundly by halftime (which they should).....and that NE has already won.......their next move is to lie down for Miami to keep BB/Pats out of the postseason........EVERYONE can see this one coming......except that corrupt pile of horsesh#t GOD-dell and the other con-artists and scheister's (sp) that control this league.......This is f'in pathetic.......

OK dick in a grey hoodie,......I get that this has been talked about.....the question is "WHAT criteria came into the decision making as to WHICH game(s) would be moved?" That is the topic......stay focused.......

The 4:15 games are the most watched out of the daytime of the NFL games as they start at 1 out west instead of 10, so the NFL wants the games that attract the most viewers. In your scenario you could have the Dolphins beat the Jets at 1, and then the 4:15 Patriots game would be meaningless and there'd be no reason for any team to watch. With the way the NFL set the schedule up they have CBS's biggest game set where no matter what happens in any of the other games one of the two teams could win the division with the win.

Seems fairly simple, the Fish are fighting for a Division Championship after going 1-15 last season.

The networks flex the games, not the NFL, am I not right?

I thought for some reason that the Nfl did, but it would make more sense that the network does it. I don't know. Being that I have nothing better to do at work all night, ill go search nfl.com for an answer. brb. :D

Flexes are done to maximize ratings. As with everything else, it ultimately comes down to money.

I believe the nets need league approval of all flex requests.

Could be wrong, tho..;) :D
