Television coverage for week 12, Pats at Eagles
By: John Morgan

After a couple of night games Pats fans get to watch their team during the afternoon this week. The Pats play one of only two late games on CBS, and coverage of the two games is pretty much split by time zones: almost all of the eastern half of the countr...

Looks like I'll be rooting for San Diego to not sell out. Considering that the Chargers fans don't show up even when the team hasn't lost five in a row, I'm feeling pretty good about those odds.

Thank God I don't live in Bismarck, North Dakota.

Will Pats@Broncos be flexed ?
 

Tuesday morning I was thinking after the Chiefs MNF game we would be done with night games till at least the playoffs, but as the day wore on I began to wonder.
Now I am not so sure.
Week 15 SNF game is Ravens@Chargers.
Ravens are good, but Chargers are fading.

I didn't believe in TT at first, but the fact is the guy is winning at present.
I don't care what his stats are.

I am assuming Jets@Eagles was protected by CBS and Redskins@Giants was protected by Fox.
Lions@Raiders looks like a decent game, but I don't think it would have the national appeal of Mr Clean vs The Evil BB.
A decision has to be made in the next week or two does it not ?

If it does not get flexed do you people think CBS will send their #1 crew to do the game or keep the #1 crew with the Jets and send us the #2 crew ?

Re: Will Pats@Broncos be flexed ?
 

Since the Chargers/Ravens is not a terrible game and there is no guarantee that the Broncos are still relevant in two weeks, I think NBC will remain conservative and keep the game they have.


In the original format of flex scheduling (when no game was selected when the initial schedule was released) I believe NBC would pick this game over the Ravens/Chargers, but we have seen that more often than not NBC will stick with what they have.

The big guy(Brady...err God) vs his son(Tebow...err Jesus)! Now, that's some must see tv. Just having a little fun with the matchup. Sarcasm.

Re: Will Pats@Broncos be flexed ?
 

What's the deadline for them to decide? Even if the Broncs lose a game or two in between this seems irresistible for the network. Anything involving Tebow gets a LOT of attention, from the lovers and the haters. Tebow vs. Brady is a network dream.

Re: Will Pats@Broncos be flexed ?
 

I'm thinking the Tebow circus freak sideshow will be whimpering out by then.

Re: Will Pats@Broncos be flexed ?
 

Unless Tebow levitates in the midst of a host of Angels while entering the endzone in the next week or so, I think the Ravens-Chargers game will be a lot more interesting to a national audience.

Re: Will Pats@Broncos be flexed ?
 

Please don't let this be flexed. I cannot get to sleep after these games and turn into a zombie the next day.

ESPN so lucked out into the better game with Pitt @ SF. I bet NBC wishes they could flex that over.

I don't see them flexing out Balt/SD but if they did I would think Raiders/Lions has the most potential to still be meaningful.
