It might be fun to schedule a family tailgate, setup a tree, decorate it with beer and soda cans & then set it on fire while you eat your Christmas dinner before you walk in the stadium. Followed by a trip to "The Pit" for some introspection and reflection regarding the imminent New Year as well. 4 hours ago, CowgirlsFan said: Terrible just Terrible. This leaves no time for the teams involved to have any form of Christmas with their families It's egregiously reaching. Has there ever been a regularly scheduled Wednesday game? Either way, it makes me want to deliberately not watch them, which I probably wouldn't anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ratings were so high for last year's Christmas game that Christmas Day games were inevitably going to become a fixture on whatever day Christmas falls on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 These are some very odd comments. You’all are aware that Christmas isn’t always on a Wednesday, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbeard Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 It’s ***** the NFL schedules these things. Players, coaches and families all get screwed outta the holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaRun Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Well.... there have been 30 games played on Christmas day and the only teams that haven't played on Christmas yet are: Atlanta Falcons Buffalo Bills Carolina Panthers Jacksonville Jaguars New England Patriots New York Giants Seattle Seahawks Washington Commanders So me may just be due... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 As we’ve established, Christmas Day is celebrated on a specific day (December 25th) every year, but NOT on a specific day of the week, like Wednesday. So seeing as how this Sunday is Easter Sunday (always on a Sunday but NOT the same Sunday) can anyone tell us…without looking it up…..how is the date for Easter Sunday determined each year? PS: It’s one of the few trivia questions that I actually know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 It's bad for players. And it's bad for my family. On Xmas, I'm totally devoted to the wife and kids and whoever else shows up. But if the Bills play, my attention will be divided. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 7 hours ago, BILLS55 said: First paragraph of the article states the teams will have played the previous Saturday giving them 4 days rest. It's the same as playing a Thursday night game, following a Sunday. though of course is still 3 games in 11 days and the golden goose for the league is fantasy football so let’s further jack up the late season experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: It’s one of the few trivia questions that I actually know. It has to do with first Sunday after full moon after spring equinox. Western church fixes spring for the 21st. Eastern Orthodox goes by the exact date. As a result, some years they can be very different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 4 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: I think that the NFL has learned that you can put ANYBODY on those random games and get ratings. At the same time, it feels like a Cardinals - Chargers game isn’t what they’re looking for to make a “statement.” Bills - Chiefs would be the highest rated game all year. When you consider they want the 4 teams playing on the Saturday before (also considered primetime) it lends credence to the theory they will be top teams. Putting Carolina and Washington on Saturday and then Christmas doesn't really make sense. So, yeah.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer: Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon after March 21st, the Spring Equinox. You'll note we just had a full moon earlier this week. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 As to not screw up a potential playoff teams season on a whim, I mean as an experiment, I hope they use teams they know will be awful like Jests vs Giants and Panthers vs patriots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Man Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) 18 hours ago, Gregg said: This is BS. Is the NFL trying to lose fans. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/soccer/nfl-season-opener-and-playoff-game-won-t-be-shown-live-on-national-tv/ar-BB1kzPmH?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=a46d88c562ee48a5b5c17e376e48a1f4&ei=19 So this article mentions how this will be the first Friday season opener since 1970. If this article is accurate then it sounds safe to assume that there will be no traditional TNF game at home for the Superbowl champ to start the year. I wonder if this is the start of a new international game season kickoff? Or maybe they just need to wait and see what Taylor wants. 😁😈 Edited March 27 by Metal Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
