Patriots Flexed Out of Prime Time in Vegas

[DarrylS]

If the Pats never play another game after 8:00 PM I will be a happy fan..

4:05 kickoff instead of 4:25 assures us that people not living in NE or Nevada won't see this one.

Looks like it'll be a 4pm game:

The NFL realizes that boring offense is not fun to watch. Kind of an indictment.

Here! Here! I hate night games.

(Although if it means the Pats are always terrible, I get take backs. e.g., Lions don't have a single prime time game this year IIRC)

Watching the patriots us a terrible experience

 

[Thelonious]

Yep.Why wouldn't they?

On one hand, I prefer earlier games because I'm old and the late games make it a pain to get up for work the next day. On the other hand, I'm not in New England so I need to use a VPN + GamePass International if the game isn't being shown nationally or in my local market, which has been most weeks this year. Not a huge deal, but at least one week so far, GamePass International went down for the entire game day which was extremely annoying. Removing that barrier is always a plus.

Counting down the days until DirecTV is finally out of the picture for Sunday Ticket. Can. Not. Wait.

Thought they'd keep it due to the coaching storyline, but with a real chance that both teams are under .500 going in, can't blame them one bit for wanting a game with NFC playoff implications instead. Selfishly, I'll be glad to have a break from night games anyway.

G men have the #1 TV market, so no brainer in my mind.

The twice failed coach vs the totally failed coaching staff not that compelling for general football fans.

Anyone remember the epic Sept 23 2018 Fat Matt vs BB matchup ?
Anyone outside Detroit/Boston remember it ?

Commanders vs Giants?... isn't that like totally f*cking boring.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

Hate night games.

me2 except saturday night games

 

[Sect140]

YES!!!!

Now, ticket prices may drop for me!!!!

Going to Vegas on Saturday the 17th....wish me luck!!!!

Wish we could be so lucky.

 

[Brotherblues]

While I prefer a day game... Getting flexed out in favor of a sorry franchise like the Commanders stings a bit.

 

[FortressX]

Fox has been given this game

Slam dunk easy move for NFL.

#1 TV market New York Giants (69% playoff chances) vs Washington (56% playoff chances) in what may very well decide who advances/goes home

As opposed to us (27% playoff chances) vs Raiders (5% playoff chances)

 

[NE_Zealot]

Excellent, now I can watch it. PT sucks bad, I usually only make it thru the first half

Well yes especially the 3 plus hour ride back home but no more night games mean we're not very good

 

[Triumph]

You would surmise that people outside of NE would be overjoyed that the Pats are losers and tune in.

It also effects a ton of NFC teams for playoff placement.

nvm

Fine with me….probably not fine with Mr Kraft….have to make some changes so we can put a better product on the field Robert
