Fetou Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Love it. Although would prefer Romo not declare us winners until :00 on the clock after the 13 second debacle 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 So weird to have a game on Sunday at 1 PM ha ha. Yet it's still... prime time. The Bills sure have been featured this year by the league! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL prefers a 4v5 matchup for the Monday WC since that way only the 1 seed is left in the dark who their opponent will be after Sunday. If it is 2v7 or 3v6, everyone in that conference is held hostage until 11:30 PM Monday. Edited January 8 by chongli 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[EDIT: I am told Feely may be the sideline "kicking expert".] Romo just loves calling a Allen game. I wonder if he gives up paycheck money to preferentially call Bills games 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well F that guy then. Yep...glad you noticed that. If Collisworth had said yes, then NBC could have brought in Al Michaels, who Michaels works well with,. Collinsworth is a wus, lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chongli Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 9 minutes ago, RiotAct said: That’s pretty crazy the first 3 games of WCW are all the AFC games. Yeah, it is. The AFC South champion usually gets the lowest viewed Saturday late afternoon game, since the entire division consists of small markets. That slot is playfully dubbed the "Houston Texans Invitational". And the NFL apparently wanted a big name to force people to subscribe to Peacock Saturday evening...hence KC. They wanted to reserve the much coveted Dallas for late Sunday, the biggest rating window...so FOX had to get that one. And they had to throw CBS a bone, so they gave them Pittsburgh (a huge rating draw) Sunday early (FOX and CBS were set to have Sunday afternoon, the only thing to be determined was which network got what slot).

Big Turk Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hope they bring their winter coats. Early forecast is a high of 25 with snow showers and winds 15-25 mph. Good luck with that Mason Rudolph and Steelers kicker/punter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha...yeah, there is a semi-rotation though, and only some is known by the public, the the NFL and networks being tight-lipped. I'll post more about this when I have more time.
