I just don't get the process for the prime time games. why didn't we get at least one. Look at some of the teams that got prime time games. where's the love. oakland got moss but did they need 4 prime time games? dallas gets three plus thanksgiving which i didnt include, whats that all about? also houston got 2 night games not on the list. every team with poor records last year gets 1 except us and tennessee. i just dont get it.

thur sept. 8 oakland (5-11)
sun sept. 18 oakland (5-11) 2nd game
mon sept 19 wash(6-10) vs dallas (6-10)

I too think its a slap in the face...especially not having a Monday nighter....We have one of the winningest records on MNF ever (not to mention that we hadn't had a losing season since what, forever?) and we go thru one bad season and this is what we get....ridiculous.
 
Just remember how many times they miss and they have bad teams playing on Monday nights. We always say "I rather see that team play, they are going to the playoffs". Well, they are going to be saying that later this year about the Fins.

yeah they always have terrible games towards the end of the year. dolphins games are always exciting know matter what our record is.
 
Yes, we also had like 7 last year. That is of course if you count the moved Steelers game due to weather malfunction.
 
they don't pick games out of a hat. they do their homework and find out what games people want to see. people like vick, people like moss, people like to see the colts play, people like the champs (any year), etc etc. the cowboys are always going to have primetime games, as well as green bay and chicago. arizona vs. san fran was a special event, so of course it'd be televised nationally (which reminds me of when the NHL played that game outdoors, and it was a regional game--a HUGE mistake by the NHL). the dolphins have had TONS of primetime games over the years, who cares if we have a year off?
 
Yeah what a joke... You know something is wrong when the Raiders have 4 primetime games.
 
Yes... I'm sure no ABC executive was fretting about the Dolphin win over the Patsies last year!
 
well to thier credit, they have change the plan with the night games that next year, after the first few weeks, the network will have some say into which games they will be showing. The will not be able to take all the best games but they will be able to improve over a horrible game (niners vs. cards is horrible choice regardless if it is in mexico or my backyard).
 
It honestly doesn't matter too much to me whether or not we play a prime time game. Ok, maybe I would like to see us bust out the orange on a Monday Nighter, but in the end we'll still get 16 games while its the networks who are missing us more. Just having Saban should have given us one token one, like a NE game.
 
This sucks fro me as well, I am not going to see any games on tv this year
