You didn't mention the Cowboys vs Texans game. Which is the best game.


It is better than San Francisco and Kansas City.

They could have moved that game or Baltimore/Indy to the late slot and I would have preferred either over what they are showing.

I care that I can't watch the best game of the week because of antiquated rules and lazy broadcasters.

And I will possibly pay for it if and when Roger Goodell is fired.

Don't tell me what I'm thinking.

Why can't both networks have double headers? I don't like the way the nfl does tv scheduling, I want more options.

Because CBS can charge more $$$$$$$$$$$ if they have an exclusive broadcast.

Which makes no sense in a way because the same advertisements are the same in literally every game, literally in the same order. The only advantages are that CBS can use the broadcast to cram a bunch of "The Good Wife" promos in our faces, and local affiliates can make more money selling their spots. Spencer Callahan pays good money to have us watch him catch three footballs.

IMO, the five (or six) best games of the week, in order, are:

1. Arizona/Denver
2. Dallas/Houston
3. Baltimore/Indianapolis
4a. Atlanta/Giants
4b. Kansas City/San Francisco
4c. Chicago/Carolina

Best part of Sunday mornings is hearing Scott Hanson saying "welcome to 8 hours of commercial free football, which begins right now."

And...


The countdown

I have Sunday Ticket, but I always get a kick out of seeing these maps. Knoxville gets Denver every week due to Peyton. Probably more Broncos fans than Titans fans here.

This is how the NFL forces you to get NFL redzone etc. with NFL Network.

Rabbit ear TV is over (literally with FCC forcing digital b/c of lobby)

NFL wants you to pay good dollar for their product.

Quit it or pony up.

The NFL spends millions of dollars marketing those extra products to their fanbase as "If you're an Eagles fan and you now live in Florida, Red Zone and Sunday Ticket are for you." Not "We're going to intentionally going to hold the best game of the week hostage because of our stupid, outdated doubleheader rules. If you don't like it, buy Sunday Ticket or frick you." Let's be honest here. Roger's not getting my money. He still owes Saints fans a refund for their 2012 season tickets.

Are you a closet Cardinals fan or something? You seem rather passionate about this.

Niners Chiefs is hands down the best game this week.

Chiefs just blew out the Pats, Niners shut out one of the best offenses in NFL history.

No one needs to see rectangle head shredding the Cards D.

They have a bunch of LSU players and they're never on television.

And I'm sick of seeing the 49ers every week. You'd think we lived in California. The NFL has its "go-to teams" that they decide will get higher ratings and we are force-fed these teams. I'm tired of that.
