Looks like the Pats may have played their last 1 PM game this season.

I'm glad the game against the Steelers was protected. NBC having the Pats on two weeks in a row seems they're desperate for the ratings they missed out on with the Dallas and Indy games. I don't see either of these games being particularly interesting. Sucks to be you, NBC. :singing:

The Jets game can't be moved- CBS doesn't have the doubleheader that week.

The Miami game CAN be moved...and it probably will if the Pats are still unbeaten after Pittsburgh. Can't pass up the Pats going up against the only other undefeated franchise.

The Jets game could be moved to 4:05, a la Pittsburgh - NYJ this week (assuming the Giants aren't playing at home at the same time, and they're tentitively the SNF game at the moment), and I would tend to believe that this game is more likely to move than the Miami game. History is history, but the Dolphins unequivocally blow. If the Pats can get to Week 16 undefeated, you probably have this as the marquee 1PM game, with a more "meaningful" (in terms of playoffs) game in the 4:15 slot. Looking at the Week 16 schedule, though, they aren't really any good CBS games (Cle @ Cin? Hou @ Ind? KC @ Det? yuck), so my guess is they both get pushed to 4:05/4:15, and we are, indeed, done with 1PM games (for the regular season, at least).

I can deal with the 4:15 games but the night ones I hate. Too much waiting around. The early games are the best.

I would've lost a bet here. I'd have thought they'd flex the Eagles out of primetime just in case it looked like the Pats could go 16-0. I would think they would want the last game in primetime if that had potential of happening.

Take this into consideration. The Eagles game is the Sunday after Thanksgiving and many people are traveling on Sunday. By Sunday night they are back home and ratings will likely be higher than if it was flexed back to 1pm ...........

my favourite games are the 1 pm in Us (7 pm here)

i dislike Sunday Night and Monday Night (really dark night here...)

 

[Sunqueen212]

Can you imagine the cable companies switch boards when fans realize they can't watch this game because their cable company is too cheap to carry the NFL network? This could get funny? Pats with a chance to go 16-0 and the bulk of the fans can't see it. Goodell is going to have to do something.....

So if the Pats beat the Gmen in the last game of the season and no one was able to see it, did it happen?

Agreed. I just can't stay awake for them. I'm o.k. while the game is being played, but as soon as they start what seems like 45mins worth of commercials, I'm gone.

Getting old sucks.

I will have seen it because I have NFLN through Cox and I'm taking off the last 3 hours of work that day to watch the game. So yes, it will have happened.

 

[Lansdowne]

I don't have NFLN any more, but the game is still being shown locally I believe.

 

[primetime]

I'm glad the next 3 games (the last three I'll be in Ireland for until the playoffs) are primetime kickoffs. Why? Because that's 1:15, 1:30 AM here. Urgh...
