Who's Ready For Some Dolphins Primetime Games?

Very good chance Miami going to be on national tv quite a bit going down the last stretch of the season.

Week 13 Miami @ San Francisco probably gets flexed to SNF. Current SNF game for that week is Indianapolis @ Dallas. Colts have PHI and PIT before that game probably going 1-1 making their record 5-6-1. Doubt the country going to be interested in the mess that is Indy even if they are playing Dallas. If I recall correctly CBS & FOX can protect one game each from being flexed into SNF. CBS will more than likely protect KC @ CIN that week. FOX on the other hand would probably have to make a decision between TEN @ PHI or MIA @ SF. If I was FOX I'd keep MIA/SF.

Week 14 the SNF game is currently KC @ DEN, doubt anyone wants to see Kansas City beat Denver for the umpteenth time, CBS has slim pickings this week, they'll have to decide between NYJ @ BUF or MIA @ LAC, if CBS goes with the former NBC will be all over Tua vs Herbert on Sunday night. FOX will protect Tampa Bay @ San Francisco as nothing else they have that week would be appealing to NBC.

Week 15 SNF is New England @ Las Vegas, doubt that sticks. MIA @ BUF is one of 5 games this week with TBD times. NBC has first pick of these games to flex into sunday night without CBS or FOX being able to protect them, the other 4 games are: BAL @ CLE, IND @ MIN, ATL @ NO & NYG @ WAS. Very good chance Miami @ Buffalo moves to sunday night (brrr)

Week 16 already set in stone to play GB on national tv on Xmas on FOX.

Week 17 is tricky, very few good quality matchups, CBS most likely protects MIA @ NE, current SNF matchup is LAR@ LAC, NBC will probably have to take something from FOX here if they want out of this, either NYJ @ SEA or MIN @ GB.

Week 18 the entire slate is at NBC's disposal: Most likely candidates being NE @ BUF, BAL @ CIN (i think this will be where they go), NYJ @ MIA, or NYG @ PHI

I say Miami gets at least 2 more primetime games in addition to the Xmas day one.

I see Bills vs miami is TBD, which to me makes me feel schedule makers are looking at potentially moving it to sunday night game or monday night game. I saw it show December 18th or 19th just like you said. Yeah and it's hard for me to think Chargers vs dolphins won't be flexed even if chargers are 6-6 when they play miami just because it's Herbert vs Tua. Niners dolphins too a good chance because of the storyline of Mike's former team as well as both rbs and how miami got it's picks from niners that miami used to get Waddle, Hill and Chubb

Yeah I'm not too keen either, always feels we never play our best in these games either, certainly the two games we've had this season haven't been great especially the disaster which was the Bengals game.

If tua is clutch like we think, I think he'll ball out on the prime time game. I'm not worried about him being Kirk Cousins

The Dolphins/49ers game is tricky because FOX might want to hold on to that one for the reasons you said and not let it get flexed to SNF.

Is that game already 4pm? 4pm on fox are like closest game to primetime that isn't sunday night. I figure it is at 4pm already because west coast games are usually 4pm and this is at niners

Yep which is why I think they will protect MIA/SF. If they don't and let NBC take it, they can move TEN/PHI from 1pm to 4pm for their marquee late matchup.
 
I'm still trying to figure out how LA Chargers are on SNF two weeks in a row. SF last week, KC this. I don't think I've seen that before and don't believe one was flexed

Lowest rated Sunday game all year was Miami Pitt. Second lowest was 3 days ago LA v SF. So not sure how excited NBC would want Miami v SF especially with the ratings the Cowboys get

well steelers aren't a good team. Chargers have been mediocre plus no storyline. Niners are talented and getting on a roll and looked as a big threat in the weak nfc that really just has the vikings and eagles as top teams. Dolphins and niners are both good and talented teams plus built in storylines
 
Those were old regimes that failed on primetime and embarrassed us. I bet our new staff would crush primetime games adding new bandwagon fans globally!
 
Certain teams like the Cowgirls will always get the spotlight irrespective if other teams deserve it or not, due to they have the most fans(As they and the media claim anyway). However, we do deserve to be on display if you will and I think we will be down the stretch. Don't really care if we are mind as long as we continue to win, but I think we will, especially the Buffalo match up.

I can promise you this, no matter how bad the Cowgirls are (or the entire NFC east really) those prime time games WILL NOT get moved. The Cowboys are like the Notre Dame football team, no matter where you live in the US, ALL their games will be aired on local TV. Not sure if Jerry Jones has something to with it or not but I get so annoyed and tired of seeing Cowgirls on my local channels in NC. I know lots of Cowboys fans and they tell me they have NEVER had to pay for sunday ticket to watch the cowboys. annoys the crap out of me. "AmErIcAs TeAm!".......its "Americas team" by design.
