I'm in in the us versus them kinda mood! So, somebody explain to me why we don't have any Monday, or even Sunday, night games. We're undoubtedly one of the most popular teams (fan base wise) in the league.So, what gives? Is it because we went 4-12?Our 1st losing season in forever!That can't be, because why were San fran and the pitiful Cardinals on a couple of Sundays ago? Anybody got a logical explaination? Puzzled, disgruntled Dolfan

4-12 man....we gotta live with what that brings with it. Don't worry, we'll be back in the lime-light next year. AZ was a darling pick of alot of "experts" this year and that is one reason why they got a Sunday night game. The other reason was that game was played in Mexico City and the NFL wanted teams that were in a closer proximity that that location. If that game was in San Juan then you'd have seen Miami.
 
It seemed to me that every team gets at least one primetime game, or at least nationally televised game, every year (the Lions fall into the second category because of Thanksgiving; since they have struggled the last few years I don't think they've had night games). I guess I'm a little surprised that the NFL didn't make one of the Miami-New England games a primetime game, if for no other reason than the Saban-Belichick storyline. But oh well. I guess I just have to go to Buffalo Wild Wings every week to watch the Dolphins until I get my own place and can have Sunday Ticket.

It's all based on the previous years performance. IN MOST CASES, (not ours) it's indicative of how the following season will go. However, with all the changes we were making when they announced the schedule, they shoulda tossed us a bone.
 
I dunno man, but here are my questionable primetime teams:


Houston (0-4) at Seattle ESPN
Philadelphia at Washington (6-10 last year) ESPN
Cleveland (4-12 last year) at Pittsburgh ESPN
Dallas (6-10 last year) at Philadelphia MNF
Kansas City at Houston (already mentioned) ESPN
Oakland (5-11 last year) at Seattle ESPN
Detroit (6-10 last year) at Green Bay ESPN
Atlanta at Chicago (always stinks) ESPN
St Louis at Dallas (already mentioned) ESPN

4 of these games are Division Games, so what's the difference between them and Miami vs the AFC East?

Chicago hosting a game? Why?
Houston, twice? They are horrrrrid
Yeah yeah, Dallas is "America's Team" but so what!

Are we the only team who didn't get a Primetime slot this year?
 
Its okay with me, we will prove we deserve the national stage when we get one in the playoffs
