TheBrownBear Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Awesome and strange at the same time. I live in San Diego, so apparently I get the game this weekend, but folks in LA are stuck with GB/Mia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 So why does Louisville get Minn Det and not Cincy? These maps are so weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 http://506sports.com...hp?yr=2014&wk=6 I get it, Cinci and Carolina is a good match up but Miami Green bay?! And, oh boy, I get to watch Cleveland and Pittsburgh for the early game! Yey! Why is FOX doing a both team AFC East game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Why is FOX doing a both team AFC East game? New changes to the networks - they can flex games to the other networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 So, I get the game here in AZ?! Sweeeeeeeeet! This is BS. My TV guide says GB vs Miami. Thanks for getting my hopes up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotAGuy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Among the things that bother me about this map is Dick Stockton being relegated to the Wash-Ari game. I wish he was doing the Bills. Best guy on FOX or CBS for that matter. Agreed - one of the last of the "classic" play-by-play guys left. I think he may be situated on the west coast and tries to limit his games to those in the west? I remember Charlie Jones did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 New changes to the networks - they can flex games to the other networks. CBS has to be kicking themselves in the ass for this getting flexed with TPEGS being first owner and for once a competitive game anticipated that means something. Lots will be going on there.

Lots will be going on there. It is more bizarre that Fox is going with Miami/Green Bay as its headliner @1 vs. Cinci/Carolina. That should be a very good game.

Mopreme Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Bullsh*t for those living in NYC. Who is to blame for this? I am sick and tired of not being able to watch the Bills on regular TV due to those pathetic Jersey teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I may have to record it as I usually don't get home from Bills games until 6:30'ish....Go BULLS!!!...Go BILLS!!!! why so early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 So why does Louisville get Minn Det and not Cincy? These maps are so weird. Because Teddy Bridgewater. The answer to "Why does random city X get game Y?" is almost always because a key player in the game played their college ball in that TV market. In this case, Bridgewater played at Louisville.

8-8 Forever? Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Unbelievable. Redskins play late, but Fox shoves Packers/Phins down our throats. Guess Bills need to win out to get on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Flexible Scheduling Allows teams to play their way onto the Sunday night schedule In 2006 the NFL implemented a primetime "flexible scheduling" element on Sundays in Weeks 10-15 and in Week 17. In 2014 that was extended so that games between Weeks 5 and 17 could be affected by flex scheduling. However, only two games may be flexed into Sunday Night between Week 5 and 10. Flexible scheduling ensured quality matchups on Sunday night in those weeks and gave surprise teams a chance to play their way onto primetime. The NBC Sunday night time slot for "flex" weeks lists the game tentatively scheduled for Sunday night. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game will be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights. Just as the six major college football conferences have done for many years, the NFL has the flexibility to move the start times of games on Sundays, using a 12-day notice format. For example, a game scheduled for a Sunday could move from a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to an 8:15 p.m. start, but the change would be made and announced no later than the prior Tuesday, 12 days prior. Sunday afternoon games, as in the past, can still be moved between 1:00 and 4:05 or 4:15 p.m. ET. In Week 17, in order to ensure a Sunday night game with playoff implications, the decision to move the start time may be made on six days notice. NFL Flexible Scheduling 101 Begins Sunday of Week 5 In effect during Weeks 5-17 Up to 2 games may be flexed into Sunday Night between Weeks 5-10 Only Sunday afternoon games are subject to being moved into the Sunday night window. The game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night during flex weeks will be listed at 8:15 p.m. ET. The majority of games on Sundays will be listed at 1:00 p.m. ET during flex weeks except for games played in Pacific or Mountain Time zones which will be listed at 4:05 or 4:15 p.m. ET. No impact on Thursday, Saturday or Monday night games. The NFL will decide (after consultation with CBS, FOX, NBC) and announce as early as possible the game being played at 8:15 p.m. ET. The announcement will come no later than 12 days prior to the game. The NFL may also announce games moving to 4:05 p.m. ET and 4:15 p.m. ET. Week 17 start time changes could be decided on 6 days notice to ensure a game with playoff implications. The NBC Sunday night time slot in "flex" weeks will list the game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night. Fans and ticket holders must be aware that NFL games in flex weeks are subject to change 12 days in advance (6 days in Week 17) and should plan accordingly. NFL schedules all games. Teams will be informed as soon as they are no longer under consideration or eligible for a move to Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
