I don't know about everyone else, but Miami, which played in two of the three highest rated Monday Night Football games of all time, doesn't get a sniff at a prime time game at all this year, and yet we are subjected to this snoozer on ESPN tonight.............
 
This game is actually entertaining me. That and I bet 20$ on the Cards....don't say that much

Ehh, It happens when you go 4-12. Fortunately, we haven't known that because of our past success.
 
I agree that at 4-12 we can't expect much, but SF, Cleveland and Arizona all play on Sunday night.............no reason we couldn't have either..........

Yeah but we are watching a 3-13 team tonight not even showcasing their #1 pick, not to mention not even being able to get the ball past the 50 on offense. We should have at least gotten one prime time game, I bet they regret not giving us a game after the start we have had.

Stupid NFL.:D

If we played the game in Mexico, we would've been in one, but SF and Arizona are both close to Mexico so it made more sense for them. Can't say why Cleveland gets one over us though.
 
I believe we are the only team not in Prime Time this year. It was a personal affront I believe from Paul Tagliabue to Wayne Huizenga. It makes no sense at all since the Dolphins are still one of the leagues more popular teams.
 
Just watching Boldin tearing it up. Thanks again Wanny pornstache.

Ture, he should have been a Dolphin......(SIGH) :confused:
 
It's ok, when we have home field advantage in the playoffs, we will get the primetime Saturday Night game in the divisional round.
 
This is the first time for us, a lot of other teams have never had a chance at prime time, so we bite the dust, I kind of like it so all the other teams don't get to see us, and we kind of sneak up on them if we're able to continue our winning ways.
 
Does anyone know if the flexible schedule begins this year? If so, could see Miami/New England on the final Monday night.....

well 1) this is a sunday night game, 2) the cards were predicted to put on a show this year, and 3) this game has so many more levels of significance because it was played in mexico.

I am not bitter about it at all - we were 4-12 last year, what do you expect? i'd be pissed if crappy teams were given primetime spots every year - screw that, i want to watch the action!

would you rather watch a San Fran vs. Cleveland game, or Philly versus Pittsburgh?

i don't blame the thread starter for asking though - each of us has a little homer inside. fair enough thought.

I think that starts next year, when MNF goes to Sunday and ESPN has the Monday games.

I assume that's because it will be much easier to shift a game time from afternoon to evening on a Sunday, than it would to move games from Sundays to Mondays.
 
It's the network's loss. When the Fins are fighting for a playoff spot late in the season then the network will really be kicking itself (so will the league).
