Jets not being flexed would be huge for us. Personally, if I'm running things you're flexing the Chargers/Broncos game. It's the only game where your guaranteed both teams will have a shot at the playoffs, regardless of what happens earlier in the day.

I've heard on the radio that it can't be Cowboys / Eagles since they have already taken their maximum # of NFC/FOX games.

As much as I hate it, I have to think that the league wants Favre on primetime TV.

I heard that on Mike Francesca as well, but he then said he was wrong and it possibly could be flexed.

Not sure though.

If there is a flex it better be the effin Broncos/Chargers game. That is huge from a football fan standpoint when you look back to the first meeting between them.

It's likely to be DEN/SD, but it's also likely that as a result MIA/NYJ moves to 4PM, which is no better for us than if it moves to 8PM.

if the jets game gets flexed, im gonan pissed as hell

Re: Which game will be flexed next Sunday night?

The SD/Den game will be moved to 8.

CBS will then move the Jets/Phins to fill in as their national TV game at 4.

Flex the Chargers and Broncos--they both have something to play for no matter what. If the Patriots beat Buffalo at 1, then the Jets have nothing to play for and the game could be boooooring.

That was wrong they just didn't schedule one.

Re: Which game will be flexed next Sunday night?

The Patriots playoff hopes may very well depend on the Dolphin/Jets game NOT being flexed.

If the Jets begin that game knowing that the Patriots and Ravens both won, they'll have nothing to play for.

If they keep that game at the 1:00, the Jets be playing for the playoff lives.

Man, I hate that scenario as well!

Jets will already know if they're done in that situation as well.

Dolphins-Jets game still the favorite for Dec. 28 flex (Watchdog) - Newsday.com

I heard Ca-Boom Wednesday discuss this item from our friends at ProFootballTalk.com explaining why the Cowboys-Eagles game still is in the flex scheduling mix for Week 17.

The part about three teams being allowed to play in prime time on six occasions in a given season is correct, but the reason the Cowboys can't play that night has nothing to do with that.

It's because of arcane rules requiring the NFL to maintain a rough balance between the AFC and NFC - i.e. CBS and Fox - when considering prime time options.

That is why Dolphins-Jets is the heavy favorite for that night.

Why won't anyone believe me?

Re: Which game will be flexed next Sunday night?

When do they need to announce the flex by in the last week?

 

[SVN]

Re: Which game will be flexed next Sunday night?

i hope its not the pats@bills game. they should also consider lions@GB game.

Re: Which game will be flexed next Sunday night?

lol the 0-16 or bust game?

I might break things. I can't believe our playoff hopes rest upon now the SCHEDULING of the games.

Re: Which game will be flexed next Sunday night?

They probably know right now. I'm sure they'll announce it at some point during the Giants/Panthers game if not before.
