CountDorkula Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 How does Atlanta, hell all of GA not get the Tampa Carolina game late? That makes zero sense. But its the NFL I should expect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 More Stealer fans than Fish fans in Ra-cha-cha? Oh yes, many times more in my opinion. The kids day preseason game a couple years back the tickets were selling on the after market at 3 to 4 times the normal dirt cheap preseason price because of all the Steeler fans buying them.

Interesting. I know at least 5, if not 10x, as many Fish fans here compared to Stealer fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I wonder why Fox is broadcasting the Bills game. Generally the visiting team determines which network broadcasts a game, with CBS "owning" the AFC and Fox the NFC. It will be interesting to hear the comments about the Bills from a crew that doesn't know much about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll be giving up games each week that the would normally get in previous years. This is my guess.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) it seems to be the ONLY crossover from the norm in wk 1 CBS is getting Thursday Night Football this year with the games also being shown on NFL Network. I think they'll be giving up games each week that the would normally get in previous years. This is my guess. but Thursdays were NFL network or ESPN hmm week 2 Atlanta at Cincinnati 1:00 PM CBS week 1 AFC on FOX, week 2 NFC on CBS Edited September 5, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 it seems to be the ONLY crossover from the norm in wk 1 but Thursdays were NFL network or ESPN NFL Network has been doing the Thursday games with their own crew for a while now with the exception of the season opener that NBC gets.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 hmm week 2 Atlanta at Cincinnati 1:00 PM CBS Would ordinarily be a Fox game. Not sure what the deal is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 Josh Allen Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 New rules this year, games can be flexed between Networks. So that means some Bills road games Will be on fox. This also means some Bills home games May also be broadcast by fox. More info from the net Also new this year is cross-flexing, which the league can do any week of the season. This process involves CBS and Fox and will result in AFC games that previously could have been seen only on CBS now appearing on Fox, and vice versa. "Basically, the NFL has the option of taking up to seven NFC games, which heretofore would have only been on Fox, and seven AFC games and basically putting them on the mirror network," McManus explained. "So, a Washington-Philadelphia game up until this year would always be on Fox or in prime time [on NBC] — it couldn't be on CBS. But there are now three games on the CBS schedule that are basically Fox games that before this year would only be on Fox. There will probably be three or four at the beginning of the season, and then … up to three or four later in the season." The idea is putting the best matchups before the largest potential audiences. For example, a 1 p.m. game that is one of several Fox regional telecasts could be moved to the 4:15 p.m. national time slot on CBS. "What happens is that Fox will have a game — and Washington-Philly is probably a good example — that is only going to 12 or 15 percent of the country," McManus said. "But by moving it to CBS, that percentage might jump up to 60 or 70 percent. So, it's an opportunity for the NFL to use their inventory in a more intelligent way." TV football never has been more popular. Look at the top-rated shows for any given week from Nielsen last fall, and you will see not just the prime-time NFL games among the Top 10, but the Sunday afternoon national games on Fox and CBS as well. Given the flex enhancements and extra eight weeks of prime-time football on CBS, the NFL is only going to grow its dominance not only of sports but also entertainment and popular culture this fall.
