This thread is basically me flipping a big bird to the network executives for dropping the ball big time this year when it came to scheduling teams. Many of the teams that have played on this stage that used to be so grand have just stunk up the joint. This makes me happy that they are going to have two games to choose from when it comes to prime time games next year.

Just the fact that the Miami Dolphins did not have ANY prime time games this year, despite being a MNF staple for all these years just fueled me to put some time into digging up these records and putting them together. THESE were the teams that were put on SNF and MNF over Miami. I know it's not a perfect science to schedule these games, but this is that the execs get for not having Miami on the schedule...AT ALL this season ;).

Philadelphia – 4
Green Bay – 4

New Orleans - 2

Hopefully the new flex scheduling will help fix this.

Having to sit here and watch Green Bay and Detroit sucks.
 
I know we werent good last year but its absurd that we didnt get a monday or sunday night game. We have a huge national fan base and it was ignored so chump teams like the Texans, St Louis and Cleveland get prime time games. Its one thing to keep huge market teams like the Jets, etc having a game but some of these teams obviously were terrible and come from small markets, thats just stupid.
 
yah I`m sick of watching the packers on prime time!!!
 
by the looks of the rest of the schedule.. there isnt one sunday or monday night game im even interested in watching.. much less firing up the projector and clocking some hours on it for HD. this was NOT the year I should have upgraded the projector. no fins in HD and the primetime games have blown.

Oakland – 4
Baltimore – 4
Philadelphia – 4
Green Bay – 4
NY Jets – 3
Houston – 2
St. Louis – 2
New Orleans - 2
Buffalo – 2
Cleveland – 1
Detroit – 2 (+1 for thanksgiving game)


now thats some funny $hit.. they basically lined up the worst in the league... haha
 
Just a little rebuttle.

No one expected the Eagles to lose what, 11 starters to injuries? If you look at their roster right now, John Runyan and LJ Smith are their only starters on offense from the beginning of the year. Thats pretty intense. They lost both their starting WRs, starting QB, starting left side of their Oline, starting center, and starting RB. And on top of that their starting probowl CB.

The Jets and Bills were very good last year and no one predicted all their injuries.... well thats not really true because everyone on here knew Pennington was a noodle ready to be broken. And Baltimore was a lot of peoples superbowl pick from the AFC when they switched defenses and signed Samari Rolle. Personally, I thought the had the best secondary in the NFL heading into the season.

I can understand why those teams were scheduled for primetime games.

No excuses for the other scrub teams.
