Shroinke Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Like everyone, I'm SOOOO happy the NFL allowed flexible scheduling this year for NBC's Sunday Night Football. However, while checking the schedule for upcoming games, like I usually do, I noticed something:The most recently scheduled game, for Week 13, is...Seattle (6-4) @ Denver (7-3)Not a bad matchup, until you consider this is the SIXTH time the Broncos will be on primetime!Week 3: Broncos @ PatriotsWeek 5: Ravens @ BroncosWeek 6: Raiders @ BroncosWeek 11: Chargers @ BroncosWeek 12: Broncos @ ChiefsDoes anyone really want to see Jake Plummer lead that boring offense 6 times?!

hormone Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 No! And I am already sick of the Broncos "primetime" monochrome blue. In fact, because of where I live, I buy the Sunday ticket to see the Bucs. To me, that would suck if all their games got moved to national tv anyway and also due to my work schedule, I can't stay up to watch late night games. In all seriousness, to get big games, you could "flex" the same four or five teams every week. It's a great idea...if executed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninersdd Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Why not Niners @Saints instead? BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braden Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Why not Niners @Saints instead?Nah, I would have preferred Texans @ Raiders.But yeah, although it makes sense for Week 13, compared to other games (close ones DAL@NYG, JAC@MIA, SF@NO) it is getting way too Broncos-heavy. I thought this flex scheduling was to help expose the surprise teams like the Saints and Jets this year.I also find it funny that McNabb gets injured RIGHT before the Eagles have two primetime games in a row.

Telemundo219 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 LET' GO CHIEFS!!! College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no97 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Here's the thing - this Sunday is the prime reason that even the Flex Schedule isn't perfect:They move the Colts/Eagles match-up into prime-time, and all of a sudden, the top game this week looks to be the Bears/Pats match-up, because McNabb tears his ACL, and the Colts aren't undefetated anymore... It just goes to show that no matter what you do, you can't please everyone.Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH42XCC Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Why the hell can't NBC be a little more creative with their Sunday Night schedule instead of having the Broncos on Sunday Night 6 times in one season?!Someone PUH-LEEZE explain what the f k this is all about!!!!

HedleyLamarr Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 In a semi-related topic, it seemed odd how Fox was pimping it's "NFL's designated future Fox Games of the Week" last weekend for the next four weeks, and the Giants are involved in three of the four....

They've played three on NBC and one on ESPN. This thursday's game is on the NFL Network and the week after it's on NBC, so that's four, not six.

Lots of people outside of Denver have gotten the entire Denver Broncos season.That's true too. The only games, if I remember correctly, that haven't been CBS' most widely broadcast game (of the games they've played outside of all of these primetime games) have been against the Browns and last week against the Raiders. I dare say even the game against the Raiders was the most widely broadcasted as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I think thats the main reason why ive watched so little football this year. I cant frickin stand the Broncos. Id rather watch C SPAN than a Denver game. But God do i love this thanksgiving. The Bucs are on primetime, and the Broncos are only on the NFL Network, which I dont have. FIRE THEM CANNONS!!!!!!
