For those expecting Fins-Jets game flexed...not so fast

[Schleprock]

Everyone and there brother has been hoping for this game in Week 17 to be flexed to a Sunday night, I would guess.

Well......even if it does come down to the final week of the season to decide the AFC East, not a slam dunk we will be moved to Primetime.

CBS has the right to block the movement to NBC, and primetime, as they can declare the game their #1 draw for the week which makes it a "protected" game. They have already done this once already this year.

Anybody got compromising pictures of the person responsible?

then what's the point of having FLEX games? Of course CBS would not want to lose a marquee game, but isn't that part of the equation? I want lights! I want championships! I want John Madd- I want NBC lead-up!

I dont think i have enough blood pressure medicine for the remainder of the season, especially the matchup againts the Jests

That is lame, CBS would be stupid though if they did allow it to go. Although I would Love to see the Fins in Prime time this year. They have played FINominal Football.

I guess we will just have to wait for the prime time games come January :D

It'd still be national televised correct? And possibly pushed back to 4:15. Regardless of when the game is played I still believe this team will be ready to go.

I could care less about a flex game for us. I just hope we win the game regardless of whatever time it is played. The game will most likely be showed nationwide on most CBS networks anyways. Just win baby!

no, it will be aired like any other #1 spot CBS ranked game. If you have a local team that is on CBS, that game will be aired. If you are in a gray region, you'll get the nationally televised #1 game.

It would be better for us to have the game during the day, it would be warmer during that time with the sun. Every bit helps although i dont think this team is/will be as affected by the weather as teams past.

Yeah that's what I figured. So basically NBC will be stuck with the third best game of the week?

And it can be flexed to 4 correct?

Seriously. I want primetime games as much as anyone else, its like an event to be on SNF or MNF, and thankfully after this years performance, we will be next year. BUT, obv Miami has to win the next 2 for it to be meaningful, but even if it is, if its for the division why would you want to play in NY at night?? Crowd more jacked, weather goes from 25 during the day to about 5 at night. Better chance for a Miami win at 1 than at night.

Whats so great about playing in Prime Time?

 

[PerfectFinz72]

I'd rather it NOT get flexed. It's gonna be cold at 1PM on that day...imagine what it will be like at 8PM. I'd rather my the chances during the day with the hope for a decent day temperature wise and hopefully weather wise.

Those of us living in Bills country actually get to watch the game.

Unless the game is switched to 4:15 or prime time, we won't get to watch it. We have to watch the Bills play New England. I am pretty sure that won't be a fun game to watch.
