From NFL Network Website

quote:

Flexible scheduling ensured quality matchups on Sunday night in those weeks and gave surprise teams a chance to play their way onto primetime. The NBC Sunday night time slot for "flex" weeks lists the game tentatively scheduled for Sunday night.


So you have the textbook definition of a "quality matchup" between "surprise teams" that "play their way onto primetime." But the NFL and NBC decide to keep a Packer team that has ZERO chance at the postseason without Aaron Rodgers in the primetime slot because Packers.

This is bullshite.

I wouldn't say 0 but yeah pretty close. I'd put it closer to a 10% chance

If this was the case they would have put the Rams/Vikings on SNF this week. Quit your bitching

Two national fan bases or one regional fan base and a non existent fan base

Tough choice.

Certain teams and certain markets are untouchable to be flex out of.

It's two of the biggest fan bases in the league with teams still in playoff contention. That won't ever be flexed out.

Dude many of us have been telling y'all for weeks that this wasn't happening on saints talk,yet you refused to listen. When you leave the Deep South you realize how huge some of these fan bases are. These are two of the latgest nationally with the steelers likely the very biggest.

It

Isn't

Happening.

Be happy we get the Romo game.

Why can't almost every NFL game be shown on TV?



Without paying $320.

Packers/Steelers would rate better than Saints/Rams.


I don't see the beef here.

Did you honestly think they’d flex away from 2 of the 3 biggest fan bases?

I shouldn’t have to pay $320 or pay $200 and use a vpn or go find a stream just to watch a game.
