Does anyone know if this is a possibility. It is now the nationally televised game. Can they even change the time?

I seriously dont think so, the schdeule and broadcast time is already set, it isnt a flex game so i dont see how they could move it
 
they cant until week 10 i believe. after that they can 'flex' games.
 
What does that mean?

I've heard the news of it being nationally televised... I just don't know in reality what that meant to me.

I want to know if they'll be showing it where I live.

I live in Chicago. That day the Bears play at Indianapolis @ 7:15pm (CST).... Does that allow NFL/Broadcast rules for them to show the Dolphins' game at 1pm???

I really wish I knew how it worked. I really really really want to watch this game.

that means it will be shown in all markets on whichever station is airing it. Chicago is 1 hour behind EST i believe. youll be able to watch it regardless of who is playing.

No. That's not accurate. Here in Wheeling, WV - we are considered to be in the Pittsburgh market ... and from past experience, even when we are the "national" game - if we play at the same time as the Steelers, I get the shaft and end up with the damn Steeler game on.

Seriously... that aint right!

you guys should just get the ticket
 
yea i dont get it either. im in the pittsburgh and baltimore area, so i never get to see miami play. It didnt use to be so bad cause we used to get 2-3 primetime games a year. not anymore though.
 
I live in Houston, and the Texans are playing the same time. So they'll televise the Texans game and not the fins game. Sux.
 
So what the hells the point of calling a game "nationally televised". All it seems to do is give the option for other markets to view the game, but they dont... thats pointless..

looks like you guys will need sopcast. if you dont have it or know how to use it PM me
 
Don't you folks have a sports bar in your area that shows all the games.

Lucky for me I have NFLST.

Before I got the ticket I used to go to the bar every game. This was back before the sunday ticket even existed.

BTW I haven't missed a Dolphin game in 20 years and I live in Ohio.

1) not 21 yet.

2) no bar in this area would put on the dolphins game just for me.

Fair enough I can understand the age thing but I would still exhaust all avenues in an attempt to see the games. Hell I did it back when I was in my teens and it was much tougher to get the games without bars having the ticket. Thing is it was much easier to get into bars back then cause I only had to be 19.

Good luck to ya' man.

it's not pointless

but if your local team has a game at the same time, do you REALLY think that the "national" game will be televised over it? How would you feel if you lived in Miami but didn't get to see the game because of the "national" game? Seriously, c'mon man.

bottom line: it's CBS's #1 game at 1 pm, meaning if your local team IS NOT playing, you will get the game.

And no, it can't move to 4:00. FOX has the truly "national" game at 4:15 with Dallas and Cleveland - where EVERYONE will get to see it.
