What a Tuel Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 20 minutes ago, JakeFrommStateFarm said: If true, this is a brutal schedule. There are no gimme's here except the Pats game This is said every year, then teams are better, other teams are worse and the image of who's good and who's bad changes and we start all over again with "this schedule is brutal". Didn't live up to being good or decent (due to injury or otherwise): Jets 2x Bengals Chargers Cowboys Bucs Giants Jaguars Lived up to being good or decent: Chiefs Eagles Dolphins (iffy on this one) Were supposed to be bad and were bad: Pats 2x Broncos Commanders Raiders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't we have one or two days to eat too much and watch movies with the fam without the nfl having to hijack it. It seems the nfl's plan is to take complete control over every major holiday. There is going to be a july 4th bowl before we know it. I mean come on I just want to have a drink and watch Die Hard without worrying I am missing an important game. Yeah it's ridiculous. Unless it's a Bills game I am not going to watch football on Christmas Day, I probably won't watch the Friday night game in Brazil between the Packers and Eagles either. I hope this plan to have NFL on every night and every holiday backfires on them and they don't get the ratings they are hoping for. I have always been an "NFL Degenerate" that will give up my Sundays and Monday Nights during the season, my family and friends all know this. But I will not give up every night of the week and holidays such as Christmas Day to watch the NFL. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a lifelong football fanatic but even I don’t want to watch it every day of the week. It’s way too much.

Having the spotlight on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday Nights on top of all day Sunday is more than enough. I don't have it in me to to add in Wednesdays and Fridays now. I love football but I have other interests in life too, and I enjoy a traditional Christmas with Family. Obviously people will watch but I hope the ratings don't hit their targeted goals. They will continue to push for more until people show they won't tune in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to let the NBA hog the Christmas tv sports spotlight. I mean, if the game is on and you don’t watch then why worry if others choose to catch the game ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NBA is the one who should be pissed about the NFL playing on Christmas. Last year the NFL crushed the NBA in the ratings on Christmas which is a surprise to nobody. I could see the NBA not playing on Christmas in the future if the NFL insists playing on Dec 25th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got me by the balls they have everyone by the balls and that is why they are such greedy scum. They suck the life out of everything and sometime in the near future they will suck it out of the nfl too. The nfl became amazing on the backs of great players, great teams, great rivalries, great stadiums, great atmospheres, great fan bases, great broadcasters and minimal marketing and selling of the product. Now it all seems backwards. The nfl used to go away and allow the nhl, nba and mlb to breathe. The players got away and so did the fans...then the draft would come and 50% at best of the fans would watch little parts of it....then the nfl would go away again only to return to the zeitgeist in august when camps were going. Its just 24/7 365 now. I love the nfl and always have but enough is enough. We don't need home teams sacrificing home games in europe/mexico and we definitely do not need games on every holiday. Thanksgiving and then the saturdays when college football ended was perfect. anyway. Hopefully the xmas games are like arizona and new orleans or something... then I will definitely not watch and won't care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never made sense to me. Is it greed? Sure. But I love to watch it so, I quite frankly couldn't care less. You all can watch a million hockey games a week but the NFL 3 or 4 times a week is too much? Doesn't make sense to me. What are we gonna do as NFL fans? Strike against buying Merchandise so that they only put it on on Sundays? No, give me all the football you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought some articles about this implied that it would actually be the first game of the NFL week leading up to the weekend slate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 There is a guy on Twitter who has a source and releases the schedule much earlier than anyone else. Is legit/always accurate. CJ something. Anyone know his Twitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for those 2 markets - the other 30 markets get screwed over and almost all those 30 markets (like Buffalo inputting 600 million) paid for their stadiums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
