Would this only be a game or two that would be shown nationally? I get the Sunday Ticket to guarantee I can see ALL the games. I assume these would be early starts which means I don’t see them live.

I mean I could probably switch my schedule If I had too. There’s no way I couldn’t watch live my anxiety would be through the roof 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judman Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Games are easy to flex without fans. They could shift a lot around. That’s a lot of football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 My guess is that if the power 5 cancels the NFL will play at least 3 games every Saturday and likely more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I'll tell you one company who'd like scream up and down over this is Sunday Ticket! There is a maximum of 16 games each week, take away; Thursday, Sunday, and Monday night game you're down to 13 games. Haven't looked at this years schedule specifically but typically when you get into the bye weeks there are some weeks with six teams with byes. That leaves 10 games. Now take away three more for Saturdays, you're down to 7 games on Sunday. Considering almost everyone gets three games on local TV, 2 early and the doubleheader, that leaves DTV with 4 games to convince people to pay $300 to watch each week. Could see this becoming a sticking point as I'm sure there is something in the agreement that specifies a minimum number of games will be available each week to them. I realize week 17 that didn't happen, one week may have been written into the contract, but if every week. Even the weeks without byes, the selection would still be small. Think to broadcast Saturdays will require a major contract redo with DTV over this. Personally I'd be happy with games on Saturday, but can see this being a sticking point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 If this happens (triple header on Saturday) I really hope they nix Thursday night football. You know the players and coaches want it gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More nationally televised games on Saturday would be great. Fanatic, I was thinking the same thing in that the SEC for now says they are going to have a conference play. It seems like the door is still open though as those Chancellors will be under a lot of pressure to fall suit with the rest of the NCAA. Not that I’m going to watch every nationally televised game four days a week as even I may need a break, but the offset tv revenue could really help with roster integrity so for that reason alone, I’m for it. Besides that provides for more nationally televised Bills games. I’d love it if they only have one Saturday game at each slot so all are nationally televised. Not living in Buffalo anymore, it’s al2ays a treat when they are in regular tv so I don’t have to get the ticket or go to a bills Backers restaurant. 1 hour ago, eball said: If this happens (triple header on Saturday) I really hope they nix Thursday night football. You know the players and coaches want it gone. They won’t. They are used to the $, and it’s built into their TV contract. Not the NFLN, as owned by the NFL, but the CBS component. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
