I just checked out the Thursday Night Football site and saw that the games before and after the Phins/Bengals game are being broadcast on CBS and Twitter: http://www.nfl.com/tnf

But the Phins/Bengals is only on NFL Network?
 
Get nfl network or go to the bar I guess. Sling tv offers NFL network that's what I have much cheaper then directtv or cable
 
Guess I'll be going to the bar to watch this one. I'll feel better about it if we are 2-1 going in.
 
Probably because the team is really, really, bad when it plays during prime time.
 
It's a dog game nationally so nobody wants it
 
It's just weird why it is the only game not simulcast. It can't just be because they think the Dolphins stink, can it? Is there a debate going on or something that day?
 
It's not the only game. Twitter and CBS/NBC only get 10 of the Thursday night games. Just type in Thursday night football twitter schedule to see. It's not because "lol dolphins" or "we suck." Just the way they do it.

Week 2, Sept. 15: New York Jets at Buffalo Bills
Week 3, Sept. 22: Houston Texans at New England Patriots
Week 5, Oct. 6: Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers
Week 6, Oct. 13: Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers
Week 7, Oct. 20: Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Week 11, Nov. 17: New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers
Week 13, Dec. 1: Dallas Cowboys at Minnesota Vikings
Week 14, Dec. 8: Oakland Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs
Week 15, Dec. 15: Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks
Week 16, Dec. 22: New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles

Ah, interesting. But considering they skipped the Dolphins/Bengals game in lieu of other matchups, it actually IS because "LOL Dolphins suck". They selected what they thought would be the best 10 matchups.
