Oh, wow, good catch - that'd be an "ouch" if Tanner Gentry and IR'd Jamison Crowder get one, but not Kumerow - who actually has considerably more snaps playing WR than Tanner Gentry and (eep!) 1 fewer snap than Crowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorin' Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 27 minutes ago, Beck Water said: Yeah, it has 3x the flights as O'Hare...that's the thing. It is scheduled to land flights about as rapidly as they can land during a normal day. When the weather doesn't allow visual approach conditions, the capacity plummets and the flight cancellations/delays mount high. But, if the Bills charter flight is booked as a Delta flight, which @T&C's link implies, it might not have a scheduled landing slot at Midway so I guess that explains it. If the Bills are trying to land at O'Hare and bus to a downtown hotel, they not getting to their hotel until Late, Late, Late because traffic is going to be snarled like a 3 yr old left to brush her own hair. It's a longer drive from Midway to the loop right now. Both drives will suck in this weather. It's only 7 miles shorter from Midway to the loop, but the traffic on 55 can literally crawl at under 5 miles per hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chongli Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) 12 minutes ago, ExiledInIllinois said: Why is it on CBS? Aren't NFC home games usually on FOX? What's the explanation? The NFL now allows the two networks to get a number of games from the other conference each season. ThE NFL makes the final decision, but the networks can state their preferences. This is one of them. EDIT: here is a good explanation from a few years ago from a FOX affiliate in Wisconsin: https://fox11online.com/sports/packers-and-nfl/an-explanation-of-the-guidelines-for-nfl-tv-coverage "In general, Fox airs NFC games, CBS airs AFC games. For non-prime-time games between teams in different conferences, the network of the visiting team gets the rights (in most cases). That's why CBS has the Oakland at Packers game. However, starting four years ago, it became easier to shift games between Fox & CBS on Sundays, regardless of conference affiliation. This "cross flex" tool may be used to even out the number of games aired on each network, or to get a high-interest game more distribution - even if it's on the 'wrong' network. This year, that tool is being used, such that Fox is airing the Denver at Green Bay game, and CBS is airing the Packers at Chargers game." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited December 23, 2022 by chongli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
